Kinds of hosting solutions

A hosting service concerns saving and/or sharing specific content on a hosting server hosted by a hosting distributor. There are various varieties of hosting services used for different goals, so let's take a gaze at them. In that way, you can elect what you need, on the basis of whether you desire to build a web site, mails, or to share files with chums and acquaintances.

- File hosting: a service furnished by certain vendors, which lets you share immense files. These could be disk images, motion pictures, audio files, archives, etc. This solution is also known as file storage, and its only purpose is to share files, since it does not support web site uploading. Once the files are uploaded, you will either obtain an accidentally created download link for each of them, or you will be able to see an inventory of all the files in a directory, but you will be unable to open .html or .php website files in your browser. Free-of-charge file storage services are often supported by exhibiting advertisements by the download links, while a timer compels you to wait for a specific interval of time to view them. A single file can be downloaded with limited speed. If you own a paid file storage package, there are no limits 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.

Now, with the assistance of the cPanel hosting suppliers, "file hosting" is being renamed to the more modern "cloud hosting". This is an entirely distorted interpretation of the actual denotation of "cloud hosting". A real cloud website hosting platform would allot the tasks at hand between independent hosts of servers in a cluster, which are dedicated to serving different web site hosting services (mail, data storage, stats, DNS, databases, Control Panel, etc.) So, the file hosting solution is merely a variety of a disk space hosting solution, not a cloud hosting one. It's not even close.

- Image hosting: similar to file hosting; given corporations offer a hosting service for images only. This hosting brand is good if you desire to share an immense number of images with pals or colleagues since the solution is typically free. You will receive a random link for each pic or album and you can then share this link. As with the file storage solution, .html and .php files are not supported, so the solution cannot be utilized for web pages.

- E-mail hosting: a service committed to tackling your e-mails. Some corporations offer site hosting services for web sites, but do not supply an e-mail hosting service. If you desire to manage an email address with your domain name but do not want to possess a site, then the email hosting solution is what you require. You can open mail address accounts and manage them, but there will be no web service for the domains. The e-mail hosting solution involves 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 specific video, or you can embed the video clip in your web site that is hosted somewhere else. The advantage of availing of this method in lieu of uploading the video clip in a web hosting account is that the video generates a given amount of central processing unit load, so with a couple of videos and several hundred web page viewers, you may have trouble with your hosting reserves. Embedding the video clip will allow you to have as many videos as you want to without worrying about system resources.

- Web hosting: this is the solution that you need if you desire to keep a website. To a certain degree, it encompasses all of the abovementioned hosting variants since, along with your web pages, you can also host pics and files, you can keep databases and electronic mail accounts, upload videos, etc. At Bester Host, for example, you can have a peek at web hosting and dedicated server hosting packages that enable you to have all of the aforesaid services in one single place. There may be limits based on the type of hosting solution that you've selected - a free hosting account, a paid shared hosting package, a VPS or a dedicated server. Depending on that, your website hosting plan may be better or worse juxtaposed to the common e-mail/file/video/image hosting plans that are devised for particular content exclusively.
