Types of hosting solutions

A hosting solution is connected with hoarding and/or sharing particular content on a hosting server hosted by a web hosting distributor. There are various kinds of hosting services used for various goals, so let's have a glimpse at these. In that way, you can elect what you want, on the basis of whether you'd like to have a weblog, e-mails, or to share files with buddies and acquaintances.

- File hosting: a service furnished by particular companies, which allows you to share bulky files. These could be disk images, films, audio files, archived files, and so on. This service is also known as file storage, and its only function is to share files, since it does not support website uploading. As soon as the files are uploaded, you will either receive an accidentally generated download link for each of them, or you will be able to explore a table of all the files in a directory, but you will not be able to load .html or .php web files in your web browser. Free-of-cost file storage packages frequently include adverts by the download links, while a timer compels you to await a certain period of time to view them. A single file can be downloaded with limited speed. If you buy a paid file hosting plan, there are no restrictions as to how many files you can upload/download instantly, and also there is no limit 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 modish "cloud hosting". This is a thoroughly erroneous interpretation of the real connotation of "cloud hosting". An actual cloud website hosting system would allocate the load between individual stacks of hosting servers in a cluster, which are dedicated to attending different web page hosting services (email, disk storage, stats, DNS, databases, Control Panel, and so on.) So, the file hosting solution is simply a type of a storage space hosting service, not a cloud hosting one. It's not even near.

- Image hosting: resembling file hosting; some suppliers offer a hosting service for images only. This hosting type is appropriate if you desire to share a big amount of images with chums or colleagues since the solution is typically free. You will obtain a random link for every picture or album and you can subsequently share this link. As with the file storage solution, .html and .php files are not supported, so the solution cannot be used for web pages.

- E-mail hosting: a solution dedicated to tackling your e-mail address accounts. Some vendors offer web space hosting services for web sites, but do not offer an e-mail hosting solution. If you wish to create a mail address with your domain name but do not desire to own a web site, then the email hosting solution is what you need. You can open mail address accounts and administer them, but there will be no web service for the domains. The e-mail hosting service includes incoming POP/IMAP and outgoing SMTP mail servers.

- Video hosting: this solution permits you to upload and share videos. You can either share a link to a particular video file, or you can embed the video clip in your web page that is hosted somewhere else. The benefit of availing of this method instead of uploading the video clip in a web hosting account is that the video file brings about a certain amount of central processing unit load, so with a couple of video clips and a few hundred site viewers, you may have trouble with your site hosting supplies. Embedding the video clip will enable you to run as many videos as you want without hassling about system reserves.

- Web hosting: this is the solution that you need if you would like to keep a website. To a certain degree, it embodies all of the aforementioned hosting categories since, along with your websites, you can also host pics and files, you can keep databases and mail accounts, upload video clips, and so on. At Hepsia Group, for example, you can view web hosting and dedicated hosting plans that permit you to get all of the abovementioned services in a single place. There may be limitations depending on the kind of hosting solution that you've picked - a free hosting package, a paid shared hosting plan, a VPS or a dedicated server. Based on that, your web space hosting account may be better or worse juxtaposed to the customary e-mail/file/video/image hosting accounts that are planned for particular web content only.
