Sorts of hosting solutions

A hosting service is connected with depositing and/or sharing particular content on a hosting server hosted by a website hosting company. There are different categories of hosting services utilized for different purposes, so let's review these. In this way, you can decide what you want, depending on whether you'd like to run a web site, emails, or to share files with mates and acquaintances.

- File hosting: a service distributed by some companies, which enables you to share immense files. These could be disk images, films, audio files, archives, and so on. This solution is also known as file storage, and its only goal is to share files, since it does not offer website uploading. As soon as the files are uploaded, you will either obtain a randomly generated download link for each of them, or you will be able to see a roll of all the files in a directory, but you will not be able to load .html or .php web page files in your web browser. Free-of-charge file storage plans are often supported by displaying advertisements by the download links, while a timer forces you to wait for a certain stretch of time to see them. A single file can be downloaded with limited speed. If you have a paid file storage plan, there are no restrictions as to how many files you can upload/download instantly, and also there is no limitation when it comes to the download speed or the file size.

At the moment, with the assistance of the cPanel hosting retailers, "file hosting" is being renamed to the more voguish "cloud hosting". This is an entirely inappropriate explanation of the literal meaning of "cloud hosting". An actual cloud website hosting environment would share the workload between autonomous sets of servers in a cluster, which are committed to serving miscellaneous web page hosting services (electronic mail, data storage, statistics, DNS, databases, web site hosting CP, and so on.) So, the file hosting solution is simply a sort of a disk storage hosting solution, not a cloud hosting one. It's not even close.

- Image hosting: comparable with file hosting; given companies offer a hosting solution for images only. This hosting brand is good if you want to share a vast amount of pics with comrades or colleagues since the solution is generally free. You will receive a random link for every image or album and you can then share this link. As with the file storage service, .html and .php files are not compatible, so the service cannot be used for web sites.

- Email hosting: a solution dedicated to taking care of your e-mail address accounts. Some vendors provide web page hosting services for websites, but do not offer an e-mail solution. If you would like to get a mail address with your domain name but do not desire to possess a site, then the e-mail hosting solution is what you require. You can create e-mail address accounts and manage them, but there will be no web solution for the domains. The e-mail hosting solution involves incoming POP/IMAP and outgoing SMTP email servers.

- Video hosting: this solution enables you to upload and share video files. You can either share a link to a particular video clip, or you can embed the video in your web page that is hosted elsewhere. The benefit of using this approach instead of uploading the video in a hosting account is that the video clip creates a specific amount of central processing unit load, so with several video files and several hundred web site visitors, you may have difficulty with your web hosting supplies. Embedding the video file will permit you to possess as many video clips as you wish without worrying about system quotas.

- Website hosting: this is the service that you require if you would like to keep a website. To a certain degree, it comprises all of the aforementioned hosting kinds since, along with your websites, you can also host pictures and files, you can set up databases and mail aliases, upload video clips, etc. At 50Webs Web Hosting, for instance, you can explore web hosting and dedicated web server hosting services that allow you to have all of the aforesaid services in a single place. There may be restrictions depending on the kind of hosting service that you've selected - a free hosting account, a paid shared hosting plan, a VPS or a dedicated server. Depending on that, your website hosting package may be better or worse compared with the customary e-mail/file/video/image hosting packages that are designed for particular content only.
