Categories of hosting solutions

A hosting solution implies keeping and/or sharing given web content on a web hosting server administered by a hosting vendor. There are different types of hosting services used for different aims, so let's take a peek at them. In this way, you can determine what you need, on the basis of whether you wish to own a site, mail aliases, or to share files with friends and associates.

- File hosting: a service made available by given firms, which enables you to share large files. These could be disk images, movies, audio files, archived files, etc. This solution is also known as file storage, and its only designation is to share files, since it does not support site uploading. As soon as the files are uploaded, you will either receive a randomly generated download link for each of them, or you will be able to explore a register of all the files in a directory, but you will not be able to see .html or .php website files in your browser. Free file storage plans frequently involve advertisements beside the download links, while a timer makes you wait for a given stretch of time to perceive them. A single file can be downloaded with restricted speed. If you own a paid file storage package, there are no limits 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 the moment, with the help of the cPanel hosting companies, "file hosting" is being renamed to the more stylish "cloud hosting". This is a totally false interpretation of the real denotation of "cloud hosting". A real cloud website hosting platform would allocate the load between individual packs of web hosting servers in a cluster, which are devoted to serving different hosting services (mail, storage space, stats, DNS, databases, webspace hosting CP, and so on.) So, the file hosting service is simply a variety of a data storage hosting service, not a cloud hosting one. It's not even close.

- Image hosting: similar to file hosting; certain corporations offer a hosting solution for images exclusively. This hosting variant is appropriate if you would like to share a big amount of images with buddies or associates since the solution is commonly free of charge. You will get a randomly generated link for each and every image or album and you can then share this link. As with the file hosting service, .html and .php files are not compatible, so the service cannot be used for sites.

- Email hosting: a solution committed to managing your e-mail aliases. Some distributors offer web space hosting services for web sites, but do not offer an email hosting service. If you would like to have a mail address with your domain name but do not desire to have a site, then the e-mail hosting service is what you require. You can create e-mail box accounts and manage them, but there will be no hosting service for the domains. The e-mail hosting solution involves incoming POP/IMAP and outgoing SMTP e-mail servers.

- Video hosting: this service enables you to upload and share videos. You can either share a link to a particular video, or you can embed the video clip in your web site that is hosted elsewhere. The benefit of using this method instead of uploading the video clip in a hosting account is that the video file brings about a given amount of CPU load, so with a bunch of video files and a few hundred visitors, you may have difficulty with your website hosting quotas. Embedding the video file will permit you to keep as many video files as you desire without hassling about system reserves.

- Web hosting: this is the service that you require if you would like to run a site. To a certain degree, it includes all of the aforesaid hosting varieties since, along with your web sites, you can also host pictures and files, you can set up databases and e-mails, upload video clips, etc. At 50Webs Web Hosting, for example, you can explore web hosting and dedicated web hosting solutions that permit you to get all of the aforesaid solutions in one place. There may be limits depending on the type of hosting solution that you've settled on - a free hosting plan, a paid shared hosting plan, a VPS or a dedicated server. Depending on that, your web page hosting account may be better or worse compared with the ordinary e-mail/file/video/image hosting plans that are conceived for specific content exclusively.
