Varieties of hosting services

A hosting service is related to stashing and/or sharing particular content on a server managed by a web hosting distributor. There are different types of hosting services used for various ends, so let's have a glimpse at these. In that way, you can elect what you want, depending on whether you'd like to set up a weblog, mail aliases, or to share files with comrades and colleagues.

- File hosting: a solution supplied by some hosts, which lets you share big files. These could be disk images, motion pictures, audio files, archives, etc. This service is also known as file storage, and its only designation is to share files, since it does not offer web page uploading. The moment the files are uploaded, you will either obtain a randomly created download link for each of them, or you will be able to read a register of all the files in a directory, but you will be unable to load .html or .php web files in your browser. Free-of-cost file hosting services are often supported by displaying advertisements next to the download links, while a timer makes you await a specific spell of time to perceive them. A given file can be downloaded with restricted speed. If you purchase a paid file hosting account, there are no limitations as to how many files you can upload/download immediately, and also there is no restriction in regard to the download speed or the file size.

Now, with the help of the cPanel hosting distributors, "file hosting" is being renamed to the more stylish "cloud hosting". This is a completely wrong explanation of the literal denotation of "cloud hosting". An actual cloud website hosting system would split the load between independent sets of web servers in a cluster, which are devoted to serving different webspace hosting services (mail, disk space, stats, DNS, databases, web space hosting Control Panel, etc.) So, the file hosting service is merely a kind of a storage space hosting solution, not a cloud hosting one. It's not even close.

- Image hosting: akin to file hosting; certain companies provide a hosting service for pictures solely. This hosting kind is suitable if you desire to share a vast amount of pictures with chums or associates since the service is commonly free. You will obtain a random link for each and every pic or album and you can subsequently share this link. As with the file hosting solution, .html and .php files are not supported, so the service cannot be utilized for sites.

- Email hosting: a solution committed to taking care of your email address accounts. Some firms offer web page hosting solutions for web pages, but do not provide an e-mail service. If you desire to get an email address with your domain name but do not want to keep a website, then the email hosting service is what you want. You can set up e-mail box accounts and manage them, but there will be no hosting service for the domains. The e-mail hosting solution involves incoming POP/IMAP and outgoing SMTP email servers.

- Video hosting: this solution permits you to upload and share video clips. You can either share a link to a particular video clip, or you can embed the video file in your site that is hosted somewhere else. The advantage of utilizing this method instead of uploading the video in a web hosting account is that the video clip creates a certain amount of central processing unit load, so with a few video clips and a few hundred site viewers, you may have a hard time with your web page hosting resources. Embedding the video file will allow you to possess as many videos as you want to without worrying about system resources.

- Website hosting: this is the service that you need if you would like to possess a website. To some extent, it embodies all of the aforementioned hosting types since, along with your web sites, you can also host pics and files, you can run databases and e-mailbox accounts, upload video files, etc. At Domain Cloud Host, for example, you can examine web hosting and dedicated hosting services that permit you to get all of the aforementioned solutions in one place. There may be limitations depending on the form of hosting solution that you've picked - a free hosting account, a paid shared hosting plan, a VPS or a dedicated server. Depending on that, your web space hosting package may be better or worse compared to the conventional email/file/video/image hosting plans that are designed for specific content exclusively.
