Classes of hosting solutions

A hosting solution is connected with hoarding and/or sharing certain content on a web server run by a web hosting distributor. There are various categories of hosting services utilized for different purposes, so let's take a glance at them. In that way, you can determine what you want, depending on whether you'd like to have a web site, mails, or to share files with buddies and associates.

- File hosting: a solution delivered by particular providers, which permits you to share large files. These could be disk images, films, audio files, archived files, etc. This service is also known as file storage, and its sole function is to share files, since it does not offer website uploading. Once the files are uploaded, you will either get a randomly generated download link for each of them, or you will be able to explore an inventory of all the files in a directory, but you will not be able to load .html or .php web page files in your web browser. Free-of-cost file hosting packages are frequently supported by exhibiting advertisements beside the download links, while a timer makes you wait for a specific amount of time to observe them. A given file can be downloaded with limited speed. If you have 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 limit with regard to the download speed or the file size.

At the moment, with the assistance of the cPanel hosting companies, "file hosting" is being renamed to the more trendy "cloud hosting". This is a completely twisted explanation of the actual connotation of "cloud hosting". An actual cloud website hosting environment would apportion the workload between individual sets of web servers in a cluster, which are committed to attending different site hosting services (electronic mail, disk space, stats, DNS, databases, hosting Control Panel, and so on.) So, the file hosting solution is only a brand of a data storage hosting service, not a cloud hosting one. It's not even close.

- Image hosting: close to file hosting; certain suppliers provide a hosting service for pictures only. This hosting variant is appropriate if you want to share a huge number of images with pals or partners since the solution is typically free of cost. You will get a randomly generated link for each picture or album and you can subsequently share this link. As with the file hosting service, .html and .php files are not supported, so the service cannot be used for websites.

- E-mail hosting: a service devoted to administering your email aliases. Some companies offer site hosting services for sites, but do not supply an email solution. If you want to possess a mail address with your domain name but do not want to run a web site, then the email hosting solution is what you want. You can open mail address accounts and manage them, but there will be no web service for the domains. The e-mail hosting service involves incoming POP/IMAP and outgoing SMTP email servers.

- Video hosting: this service allows you to upload and share video clips. You can either share a link to a certain video file, or you can embed the video clip in your web site that is hosted somewhere else. The advantage of availing of this method instead of uploading the video in a hosting account is that the video file brings about a specific amount of CPU load, so with a bunch of video clips and several hundred website viewers, you may have a hard time with your web page hosting reserves. Embedding the video file will allow you to utilize as many video clips as you want to without hassling about system resources.

- Web hosting: this is the service that you require if you wish to run a web site. To some extent, it encompasses all of the aforesaid hosting brands since, along with your websites, you can also host pics and files, you can keep databases and e-mail address accounts, upload video files, and so on. At Lonex, for example, you can have a look at web hosting and dedicated hosting packages that enable you to get all of the aforementioned solutions in one single location. There may be limits based on the form of hosting service that you've chosen - a free hosting account, a paid shared hosting account, a VPS or a dedicated server. Depending on that, your web page hosting account may be better or worse in comparison with the customary e-mail/file/video/image hosting plans that are meant for specific content solely.
