Groups of hosting services

A hosting solution suggests hoarding and/or sharing given content on a web hosting server administered by a web hosting supplier. There are different categories of hosting services utilized for various purposes, so let's survey these. In that way, you can determine what you want, depending on whether you wish to have a site, e-mail aliases, or to share files with buddies and associates.

- File hosting: a service furnished by certain vendors, which allows you to share bulky files. These could be disk images, motion pictures, audio files, archives, etc. This solution is also known as file storage, and its single aim is to share files, since it does not offer web page uploading. As soon as the files are uploaded, you will either receive a randomly created download link for each of them, or you will be able to view a list of all the files in a directory, but you will not be able to view .html or .php web page files in your browser. Free-of-charge file storage accounts are often supported by showing adverts next to the download links, while a timer compels you to wait for a given span of time to perceive them. A given file can be downloaded with limited speed. If you purchase a paid file hosting account, there are no restrictions as to how many files you can upload/download straight away, and also there is no limit when it comes to the download speed or the file size.

These days, with the assistance of the cPanel hosting wholesalers, "file hosting" is being renamed to the more voguish "cloud hosting". This is a thoroughly awry explanation of the actual meaning of "cloud hosting". An actual cloud website hosting platform would split the tasks at hand between individual packs of web hosting servers in a cluster, which are dedicated to attending different webspace hosting services (electronic mail, storage space, stats, DNS, databases, site hosting CP, etc.) So, the file hosting solution is just a variety of a storage space hosting service, not a cloud hosting one. It's not even near.

- Image hosting: close to file hosting; specific suppliers offer a hosting solution for pictures exclusively. This hosting kind is suitable if you want to share a large quantity of pics with pals or colleagues since the solution is mostly free. You will get a random link for each and every picture or album and you can then share this link. As with the file storage solution, .html and .php files are not supported, so the service cannot be utilized for web pages.

- E-mail hosting: a service dedicated to handling your e-mail box accounts. Some providers offer web page hosting services for web pages, but do not provide an email service. If you want to possess a mail address with your domain name but do not desire to run a web site, then the email hosting service is what you want. You can open email box accounts and administer them, but there will be no hosting solution for the domains. The e-mail hosting service involves incoming POP/IMAP and outgoing SMTP e-mail servers.

- Video hosting: this service permits you to upload and share video files. You can either share a link to some video, or you can embed the video file in your site that is hosted somewhere else. The advantage of utilizing this method in lieu of uploading the video in a hosting account is that the video produces a certain amount of CPU load, so with several videos and several hundred site visitors, you may have a hard time with your website hosting resources. Embedding the video file will enable you to use as many videos as you want to without worrying about system supplies.

- Web hosting: this is the service that you require if you desire to keep a site. To some extent, it consists of all of the aforementioned hosting categories since, along with your web pages, you can also host pictures and files, you can run databases and mail addresses, upload video clips, etc. At REVOTECH hosting, for instance, you can explore web hosting and dedicated hosting services that allow you to get all of the aforesaid solutions in one single place. There may be limitations based on the sort of hosting solution that you've opted for - a free hosting package, a paid shared hosting package, a VPS or a dedicated server. Depending on that, your site hosting account may be better or worse in comparison with the usual email/file/video/image hosting packages that are tailored for particular content solely.
