Forms of hosting services

A hosting solution involves stockpiling and/or sharing specific web content on a hosting server handled by a hosting vendor. There are various categories of hosting services used for various ends, so let's take a glance at these. In this way, you can decide what you need, depending on whether you wish to set up a weblog, email mailbox accounts, or to share files with friends and acquaintances.

- File hosting: a service offered by certain vendors, which allows you to share large files. These could be disk images, movies, audio files, archived files, and so on. This solution is also known as file storage, and its sole objective is to share files, since it does not support site uploading. The moment the files are uploaded, you will either receive an accidentally created download link for each of them, or you will be able to see a list of all the files in a directory, but you will be unable to view .html or .php web site files in your browser. Free file hosting services are often supported by displaying advertisements next to the download links, while a timer makes you await a given interval 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 restrictions as to how many files you can upload/download immediately, and also there is no limit when it comes to the download speed or the file size.

At present, with the assistance of the cPanel hosting merchants, "file hosting" is being renamed to the more modish "cloud hosting". This is a completely incorrect explanation of the literal connotation of "cloud hosting". A real cloud website hosting system would share the load between independent groups of web hosting servers in a cluster, which are committed to attending various web hosting services (electronic mail, storage space, statistics, DNS, databases, web site hosting Control Panel, etc.) So, the file hosting service is simply a type of a disk storage hosting solution, not a cloud hosting one. It's not even near.

- Image hosting: akin to file hosting; given firms offer a hosting solution for pictures only. This hosting type is suitable if you would like to share a huge amount of images with comrades or colleagues since the solution is commonly free. You will get a random link for each picture or album and you can subsequently share this link. As with the file hosting solution, .html and .php files are not supported, so the service cannot be utilized for sites.

- Email hosting: a solution committed to managing your e-mail accounts. Some distributors provide hosting services for web pages, but do not supply an e-mail hosting service. If you would like to possess a mail address with your domain name but do not desire to have a web site, then the e-mail hosting service is what you want. You can open email address accounts and administer them, but there will be no web service for the domains. The e-mail hosting service includes incoming POP/IMAP and outgoing SMTP e-mail servers.

- Video hosting: this solution permits you to upload and share video files. You can either share a link to a particular video file, or you can embed the video in your website that is hosted elsewhere. The benefit of utilizing this method instead of uploading the video in a hosting account is that the video clip generates a given amount of CPU load, so with a couple of video clips and several hundred web page visitors, you may have difficulty with your web space hosting quotas. Embedding the video will allow you to own as many videos as you want to without bothering about system resources.

- Website hosting: this is the solution that you require if you wish to keep a website. To a certain degree, it involves all of the abovementioned hosting varieties since, along with your sites, you can also host pics and files, you can set up databases and e-mail address accounts, upload video clips, etc. At Lonex, for instance, you can examine web hosting and dedicated server hosting accounts that allow you to have all of the aforementioned services in one location. There may be limits based on the type of hosting solution that you've selected - a free hosting package, a paid shared hosting account, a VPS or a dedicated server. Depending on that, your web site hosting account may be better or worse juxtaposed to the usual email/file/video/image hosting packages that are tailored for particular content only.
