Sorts of hosting solutions

A hosting solution refers to saving and/or sharing given web content on a server handled by a web hosting vendor. There are various sorts of hosting services utilized for various aims, so let's take a glance at them. In that way, you can determine what you need, depending on whether you wish to set up a web portal, e-mailbox accounts, or to share files with mates and associates.

- File hosting: a service offered by particular hosts, which permits you to share huge files. These could be disk images, films, audio files, archives, and so on. This service is also known as file storage, and its only objective is to share files, since it does not offer site uploading. The moment the files are uploaded, you will either obtain an accidentally generated download link for each of them, or you will be able to read an inventory of all the files in a directory, but you will not be able to load .html or .php web site files in your browser. Free file storage accounts are often supported by exhibiting ads next to the download links, while a timer compels you to wait for a particular stretch of time to view them. A given file can be downloaded with restricted speed. If you own a paid file storage plan, there are no limitations as to how many files you can upload/download immediately, and also there is no limitation in regard to the download speed or the file size.

At present, with the assistance of the cPanel hosting corporations, "file hosting" is being renamed to the more modish "cloud hosting". This is a totally imprecise explanation of the real denotation of "cloud hosting". A real cloud website hosting system would share the tasks at hand between autonomous hosts of servers in a cluster, which are devoted to serving different website hosting services (email, storage space, statistics, DNS, databases, Control Panel, etc.) So, the file hosting solution is simply a type of a storage space hosting solution, not a cloud hosting one. It's not even close.

- Image hosting: comparable with file hosting; some vendors offer a hosting solution for pictures only. This hosting type is suitable if you want to share an enormous amount of images with comrades or associates since the service is typically free. You will receive a random link for every pic or album and you can subsequently share this link. As with the file storage solution, .html and .php files are not compatible, so the solution cannot be utilized for web pages.

- E-mail hosting: a service committed to tackling your e-mails. Some suppliers offer web page hosting services for web sites, but do not supply an email hosting service. If you desire to possess an e-mail address with your domain name but do not want to have a site, then the e-mail hosting solution is what you require. You can set up e-mailbox accounts and manage them, but there will be no hosting service for the domains. The email hosting service includes incoming POP/IMAP and outgoing SMTP e-mail servers.

- Video hosting: this solution permits you to upload and share video files. You can either share a link to a particular video clip, or you can embed the video file in your web site that is hosted elsewhere. The advantage of utilizing this approach instead of uploading the video file in a web hosting account is that the video file brings about a particular amount of CPU load, so with a bunch of videos and several hundred website viewers, you may have a hard time with your webspace hosting quotas. Embedding the video will permit you to utilize as many video files as you want without bothering about system supplies.

- Website hosting: this is the service that you need if you desire to own a website. To some extent, it comprises all of the aforesaid hosting types since, along with your web sites, you can also host pics and files, you can have databases and email address accounts, upload video clips, and so on. At Club Pyme, for instance, you can take a gaze at web hosting and dedicated web server hosting solutions that enable you to get all of the aforesaid services in one place. There may be limitations based on the kind of hosting service that you've picked - a free hosting package, a paid shared hosting account, a VPS or a dedicated server. Depending on that, your web page hosting plan may be better or worse compared to the common email/file/video/image hosting accounts that are purposed for specific content exclusively.
