About N tier Architecture

Question

If I'm developing any application

Using Business Layer, Data Link Layer in WCF Service.

And Using that Service in my Web application.

But Database, Service , and Web Application all are hosted in same Machine.
So can any one tell me which Tier architecture I'm Using.

You are using 1 tire architecture because everything is host in one machine. The difference is that you are using many layers but those layers are hosted in one machine(tire).
