Categories of hosting services

A hosting service means stockpiling and/or sharing given web content on a web hosting server administered by a website hosting company. There are various classes of hosting services utilized for different purposes, so let's explore these. In this way, you can elect what you need, on the basis of whether you wish to establish a site, email aliases, or to share files with pals and partners.

- File hosting: a service offered by certain companies, which lets you share bulky files. These could be disk images, movies, audio files, archived documents, and so on. This service is also known as file storage, and its single objective is to share files, since it does not offer site uploading. Once the files are uploaded, you will either receive an accidentally created download link for each of them, or you will be able to survey a roster of all the files in a directory, but you will not be able to load .html or .php web site files in your web browser. Free-of-charge file storage solutions are frequently supported by exhibiting adverts by the download links, while a timer forces you to await a certain stretch of time to perceive them. A given file can be downloaded with limited speed. If you own a paid file hosting account, there are no limitations as to how many files you can upload/download immediately, and also there is no limit with regard to the download speed or the file size.

At the moment, with the help of the cPanel hosting vendors, "file hosting" is being renamed to the more voguish "cloud hosting". This is a thoroughly mistaken interpretation of the actual connotation of "cloud hosting". A real cloud website hosting system would share the workload between individual packs of web hosting servers in a cluster, which are committed to serving various webspace hosting services (mail, data storage, statistics, DNS, databases, webspace hosting Control Panel, and so on.) So, the file hosting solution is just a type of a data storage hosting service, not a cloud hosting one. It's not even near.

- Image hosting: comparable with file hosting; some companies provide a hosting solution for pictures solely. This hosting brand is suitable if you would like to share a big quantity of pictures with mates or colleagues since the service is generally free of cost. You will obtain a randomly generated link for every pic or album and you can then share this link. As with the file hosting service, .html and .php files are not compatible, so the solution cannot be utilized for websites.

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

- Video hosting: this solution enables you to upload and share video clips. You can either share a link to some video file, or you can embed the video file in your website that is hosted somewhere else. The benefit of utilizing this approach in lieu of uploading the video file in a web hosting account is that the video file brings about a specific amount of CPU load, so with several video clips and several hundred viewers, you may have difficulty with your web hosting supplies. Embedding the video will allow you to utilize as many video files as you desire without hassling about system reserves.

- Website hosting: this is the service that you need if you desire to own a site. To some extent, it incorporates all of the aforesaid hosting sorts since, along with your sites, you can also host pics and files, you can create databases and email mailbox accounts, upload videos, and so on. At Exclusive Hosting, for example, you can take a gaze at web hosting and dedicated web hosting plans that allow you to have all of the aforesaid services in one single location. There may be limitations based on the type of hosting solution that you've opted for - a free hosting account, a paid shared hosting package, a VPS or a dedicated server. Depending on that, your web space hosting plan may be better or worse juxtaposed to the conventional email/file/video/image hosting plans that are conceived for particular content only.
