Kinds of hosting solutions

A hosting solution includes depositing and/or sharing particular web content on a server handled by a website hosting company. There are different groups of hosting services used for various aims, so let's explore these. Thus, you can elect what you want, depending on whether you wish to set up a web page, mails, or to share files with mates and partners.

- File hosting: a service made available by certain file storage providers, which lets you share huge files. These could be disk images, movies, audio files, archived files, and so on. This solution is also known as file storage, and its single goal is to share files, since it does not support site uploading. As soon as the files are uploaded, you will either receive a randomly created download link for each of them, or you will be able to see a roster of all the files in a directory, but you will be unable to open .html or .php web files in your browser. Free-of-cost file hosting packages are frequently supported by showing adverts next to the download links, while a timer compels you to await a specific period of time to view them. A single file can be downloaded with restricted speed. If you get a paid file hosting plan, there are no limitations as to how many files you can upload/download instantly, and also there is no limit with regard to the download speed or the file size.

Nowadays, with the assistance of the cPanel hosting providers, "file hosting" is being renamed to the more voguish "cloud hosting". This is a thoroughly inaccurate explanation of the actual denotation of "cloud hosting". An actual cloud website hosting environment would share the load between independent groups of web hosting servers in a cluster, which are committed to attending various web page hosting services (email, storage space, statistics, DNS, databases, hosting 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: resembling file hosting; some firms offer a hosting service for images exclusively. This hosting brand is appropriate if you want to share a vast quantity of images with mates or colleagues since the solution is usually free of charge. You will receive a randomly generated link for each and every image or album and you can then share this link. As with the file storage solution, .html and .php files are not compatible, so the service cannot be used for web sites.

- Email hosting: a service dedicated to tackling your email address accounts. Some suppliers offer web site hosting solutions for web pages, but do not provide an email hosting solution. If you want to open an email address with your domain name but do not desire to keep a website, then the e-mail hosting solution is what you require. You can create email 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 email servers.

- Video hosting: this solution allows you to upload and share videos. You can either share a link to a given video clip, or you can embed the video file in your website that is hosted somewhere else. The advantage of availing of this approach in lieu of uploading the video in a web hosting account is that the video file creates a particular amount of central processing unit load, so with a few videos and a few hundred web site viewers, you may have difficulty with your web page hosting supplies. Embedding the video file will permit you to manage as many videos as you desire without hassling about system reserves.

- Website hosting: this is the service that you need if you would like to have a site. To a certain degree, it comprises all of the aforesaid hosting varieties since, along with your websites, you can also host pics and files, you can set up databases and e-mailbox accounts, upload video clips, etc. At Heartland Web Hosting, for example, you can have a glimpse at web hosting and dedicated server hosting accounts that allow you to have all of the abovementioned services in one location. There may be limits depending on the sort of hosting service that you've chosen - a free hosting plan, a paid shared hosting package, a VPS or a dedicated server. Based on that, your web site hosting account may be better or worse compared to the ordinary e-mail/file/video/image hosting packages that are purposed for specific web content exclusively.
