Groups of hosting solutions

A hosting service pertains to saving and/or sharing certain content on a hosting server run by a web hosting vendor. There are different classes of hosting services utilized for different goals, so let's explore them. Doing so, you can decide what you need, on the basis of whether you wish to create a web page, mail addresses, or to share files with friends and colleagues.

- File hosting: a solution furnished by some firms, which lets you share large files. These could be disk images, motion pictures, audio files, archives, and so on. This service is also known as file storage, and its only purpose is to share files, since it does not support site uploading. As soon as the files are uploaded, you will either get a randomly created download link for each of them, or you will be able to examine a roster of all the files in a directory, but you will be unable to load .html or .php web page files in your browser. Free file hosting services frequently include adverts next to the download links, while a timer compels you to wait for a certain stretch of time to view them. A given file can be downloaded with restricted speed. If you possess a paid file storage account, there are no restrictions as to how many files you can upload/download right away, and also there is no limitation with regard to the download speed or the file size.

Now, with the help of the cPanel hosting merchandisers, "file hosting" is being renamed to the more voguish "cloud hosting". This is a totally wrong interpretation of the actual definition of "cloud hosting". A real cloud website hosting platform would allot the workload between independent groups of hosting servers in a cluster, which are devoted to attending miscellaneous web site hosting services (electronic mail, data storage, stats, DNS, databases, web space hosting Control Panel, etc.) So, the file hosting solution is just a sort of a storage space hosting solution, not a cloud hosting one. It's not even near.

- Image hosting: similar to file hosting; some companies offer a hosting solution for pictures only. This hosting brand is good if you wish to share a vast amount of pics with pals or colleagues since the service is commonly free of charge. You will obtain a randomly generated link for each and every picture or album and you can subsequently share this link. As with the file storage service, .html and .php files are not supported, so the solution cannot be used for web sites.

- E-mail hosting: a service committed to handling your email box accounts. Some companies provide website hosting solutions for web pages, but do not supply an e-mail solution. If you wish to run a mail address with your domain name but do not wish to run a site, then the email hosting solution is what you require. You can open e-mail accounts and manage them, but there will be no web solution for the domains. The e-mail hosting solution includes incoming POP/IMAP and outgoing SMTP mail servers.

- Video hosting: this solution enables you to upload and share video clips. You can either share a link to a given video clip, or you can embed the video in your website that is hosted somewhere else. The advantage of utilizing this method in lieu of uploading the video clip in a hosting account is that the video file produces a particular amount of CPU load, so with a few videos and a few hundred web page viewers, you may have trouble with your site hosting quotas. Embedding the video file will allow you to administer as many video files as you wish without worrying about system supplies.

- Web page hosting: this is the service that you need if you desire to have a web site. To a certain extent, it encompasses all of the abovementioned hosting sorts since, along with your websites, you can also host pictures and files, you can keep databases and email box accounts, upload video files, and so on. At SupremeServer, for instance, you can take a peek at web hosting and dedicated server hosting packages that allow you to have all of the aforementioned services in one place. There may be restrictions based on the form of hosting service that you've picked - a free hosting account, a paid shared hosting plan, a VPS or a dedicated server. Based on that, your web site hosting package may be better or worse in comparison with the customary email/file/video/image hosting packages that are meant for particular web content only.
