Types of hosting services

A hosting solution refers to stashing and/or sharing certain content on a web hosting server managed by a hosting provider. There are different categories of hosting services utilized for different ends, so let's have a look at them. Doing so, you can elect what you want, based on whether you wish to set up a weblog, electronic mail accounts, or to share files with buddies and acquaintances.

- File hosting: a service made available by particular file storage providers, which enables you to share immense files. These could be disk images, motion pictures, audio files, archives, and so on. This solution is also known as file storage, and its sole designation is to share files, since it does not offer web site uploading. The moment the files are uploaded, you will either obtain an accidentally created download link for each of them, or you will be able to read a table of all the files in a directory, but you will not be able to view .html or .php web page files in your browser. Free-of-charge file storage services are often supported by showing adverts next to the download links, while a timer compels you to await a given amount of time to perceive them. A given file can be downloaded with restricted speed. If you get a paid file storage package, there are no limits as to how many files you can upload/download immediately, and also there is no restriction with regard to the download speed or the file size.

Now, with the assistance of the cPanel hosting traders, "file hosting" is being renamed to the more trendy "cloud hosting". This is an entirely unsuitable interpretation of the literal denotation of "cloud hosting". A real cloud website hosting system would allocate the workload between separate sets of servers in a cluster, which are devoted to serving miscellaneous web hosting services (mail, data storage, statistics, DNS, databases, webspace hosting CP, etc.) So, the file hosting service is simply a type of a storage space hosting solution, not a cloud hosting one. It's not even near.

- Image hosting: close to file hosting; certain companies offer a hosting solution for images solely. This hosting variant is appropriate if you desire to share a large number of pics with friends or associates since the solution is commonly free of charge. You will get a random link for 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 solution cannot be utilized for sites.

- Email hosting: a service dedicated to handling your mail aliases. Some providers offer web page hosting services for websites, but do not offer an e-mail service. If you desire to manage an e-mail address with your domain name but do not want to own a website, then the email hosting service is what you need. You can create e-mail accounts and manage them, but there will be no hosting solution for the domains. The email hosting solution includes incoming POP/IMAP and outgoing SMTP servers.

- Video hosting: this solution permits you to upload and share video clips. You can either share a link to a certain video, or you can embed the video in your site that is hosted somewhere else. The benefit of availing of this method instead of uploading the video in a web hosting account is that the video brings about a particular amount of CPU load, so with a couple of video files and a few hundred website visitors, you may have a problem with your site hosting reserves. Embedding the video clip will permit you to administer as many videos as you wish without bothering about system quotas.

- Website hosting: this is the service that you need if you wish to keep a site. To a certain degree, it consists of all of the aforementioned hosting sorts since, along with your web pages, you can also host pictures and files, you can run databases and mail address accounts, upload videos, etc. At Lonex, for example, you can have a peek at web hosting and dedicated server hosting plans that permit you to have all of the aforementioned solutions in one single place. There may be restrictions depending on the sort of hosting solution that you've settled on - a free hosting package, a paid shared hosting plan, a VPS or a dedicated server. Based on that, your hosting account may be better or worse juxtaposed to the typical email/file/video/image hosting plans that are created for particular content solely.
