Forms of hosting solutions

A hosting service suggests stashing and/or sharing certain web content on a server hosted by a web hosting provider. There are various varieties of hosting services used for different goals, so let's have a gaze at them. Doing so, you can elect what you need, based on whether you wish to launch a blog, email box accounts, or to share files with comrades and associates.

- File hosting: a solution distributed by various web hosts, which permits you to share enormous files. These could be disk images, films, audio files, archived documents, and so on. This service is also known as file storage, and its single function is to share files, since it does not offer web page uploading. Once the files are uploaded, you will either obtain a randomly generated download link for each of them, or you will be able to survey a register of all the files in a directory, but you will not be able to load .html or .php website files in your web browser. Free-of-charge file storage packages frequently involve ads next to the download links, while a timer forces you to wait for a certain amount of time to observe them. A given file can be downloaded with limited 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 limit as far as the download speed and the file size are concerned.

At the moment, with the help of the cPanel hosting wholesalers, "file hosting" is being renamed to the more modern "cloud hosting". This is a completely inapt explanation of the literal connotation of "cloud hosting". A real cloud website hosting environment would apportion the workload between separate groups of hosting servers in a cluster, which are devoted to attending miscellaneous hosting services (email, disk storage, statistics, DNS, databases, site hosting Control Panel, etc.) So, the file hosting service is only a type of a disk space hosting solution, not a cloud hosting one. It's not even near.

- Image hosting: akin to file hosting; certain vendors offer a hosting solution for pictures exclusively. This hosting kind is suitable if you wish to share a great number of pictures with chums or acquaintances since the solution is typically free of charge. You will obtain a random link for each and every image 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 websites.

- Email hosting: a solution devoted to administering your email mailbox accounts. Some companies provide website hosting solutions for websites, but do not provide an email solution. If you want to launch a mail address with your domain name but do not desire to own a site, then the e-mail hosting service is what you need. You can set up electronic mail accounts and administer them, but there will be no hosting solution for the domains. The email hosting solution includes incoming POP/IMAP and outgoing SMTP mail servers.

- Video hosting: this solution allows you to upload and share videos. You can either share a link to some video file, or you can embed the video clip in your website 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 creates a given amount of central processing unit load, so with a couple of video clips and a few hundred viewers, you may have a problem with your web page hosting resources. Embedding the video file will permit you to operate as many video files as you wish without hassling about system supplies.

- Web hosting: this is the solution that you require if you would like to own a site. To some degree, it involves all of the abovementioned hosting brands since, along with your sites, you can also host pics and files, you can keep databases and mail aliases, upload videos, and so on. At Supreme Hosting, for example, you can have a peek at web hosting and dedicated hosting accounts that permit you to get all of the abovementioned solutions in one location. There may be limits based on the sort of hosting solution that you've selected - a free hosting package, a paid shared hosting account, a VPS or a dedicated server. Based on that, your web hosting plan may be better or worse in comparison with the standard email/file/video/image hosting plans that are made for specific content solely.
