Forms of hosting services

A hosting solution involves stockpiling and/or sharing given web content on a web hosting server handled by a website hosting company. There are different kinds of hosting services utilized for different goals, so let's have a glance at them. In this way, you can determine what you want, on the basis of whether you desire to create a web site, email box accounts, or to share files with comrades and associates.

- File hosting: a solution supplied by given web hosts, which lets you share enormous files. These could be disk images, films, audio files, archived documents, and so on. This solution is also known as file storage, and its only goal is to share files, since it does not support web site uploading. Once the files are uploaded, you will either obtain an accidentally generated download link for each of them, or you will be able to survey a list of all the files in a directory, but you will be unable to see .html or .php web files in your browser. Free-of-cost file hosting plans frequently involve advertisements next to the download links, while a timer obliges you to await a particular spell of time to view them. A given file can be downloaded with limited speed. If you run a paid file storage plan, there are no restrictions as to how many files you can upload/download right away, and also there is no restriction when it comes to the download speed or the file size.

Nowadays, with the assistance of the cPanel hosting distributors, "file hosting" is being renamed to the more trendy "cloud hosting". This is a completely incorrect explanation of the real connotation of "cloud hosting". An actual cloud website hosting environment would divide the tasks at hand between individual packs of web servers in a cluster, which are dedicated to attending various website hosting services (email, disk space, statistics, DNS, databases, site hosting CP, etc.) So, the file hosting service is merely a sort of a disk storage hosting service, not a cloud hosting one. It's not even near.

- Image hosting: similar to file hosting; some corporations offer a hosting service for pictures exclusively. This hosting kind is good if you want to share a vast number of pics with comrades or acquaintances since the service is commonly free. You will obtain a random link for each and 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 service cannot be used for web pages.

- Email hosting: a service dedicated to tackling your mail aliases. Some suppliers offer web site hosting services for sites, but do not offer an e-mail hosting solution. If you want to run an email address with your domain name but do not wish to run a web site, then the email hosting service is what you need. You can set up email mailbox accounts and administer them, but there will be no hosting service for the domains. The email hosting service involves incoming POP/IMAP and outgoing SMTP servers.

- Video hosting: this service enables you to upload and share video files. You can either share a link to a given video file, or you can embed the video in your web site that is hosted elsewhere. The benefit of using this method instead of uploading the video clip in a web hosting account is that the video clip produces a specific amount of central processing unit load, so with a handful of video clips and several hundred website visitors, you may have a hard time with your hosting reserves. Embedding the video clip will enable you to own as many video files as you desire without worrying about system quotas.

- Web hosting: this is the solution that you require if you wish to have a web site. To a certain degree, it comprises all of the aforementioned hosting brands since, along with your web sites, you can also host pics and files, you can have databases and e-mail accounts, upload video files, and so on. At QuimeraSoft Hosting, for example, you can take a gaze at web hosting and dedicated web hosting accounts that allow you to have all of the aforesaid solutions in one single place. There may be restrictions depending on the kind 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 website hosting account may be better or worse juxtaposed to the usual email/file/video/image hosting plans that are meant for particular content solely.
