Sorts of hosting solutions

A hosting solution entails hoarding and/or sharing specific content on a web hosting server hosted by a website hosting distributor. There are different kinds of hosting services used for different purposes, so let's review them. Doing so, you can conclude what you want, based on whether you desire to have a web page, mail aliases, or to share files with mates and partners.

- File hosting: a solution delivered by given providers, which lets you share big files. These could be disk images, motion pictures, audio files, archived files, etc. This solution is also known as file storage, and its only objective is to share files, since it does not offer website uploading. The moment the files are uploaded, you will either obtain a randomly generated download link for each of them, or you will be able to view a record of all the files in a directory, but you will not be able to view .html or .php web page files in your web browser. Free file storage services frequently include ads by the download links, while a timer compels you to await a certain spell of time to see them. A given file can be downloaded with limited speed. If you own a paid file storage package, there are no limitations as to how many files you can upload/download at once, and also there is no limit in regard to the download speed or the file size.

At the moment, with the assistance of the cPanel hosting providers, "file hosting" is being renamed to the more modish "cloud hosting". This is an entirely untrue explanation of the literal meaning of "cloud hosting". A real cloud website hosting environment would assign the workload between autonomous hosts of servers in a cluster, which are devoted to serving various web page hosting services (electronic mail, disk storage, statistics, DNS, databases, hosting CP, and so on.) So, the file hosting service is merely a variety of a disk storage hosting solution, not a cloud hosting one. It's not even close.

- Image hosting: comparable with file hosting; given providers offer a hosting service for pictures solely. This hosting type is good if you would like to share a great number of pictures with buddies or partners since the service is commonly free of cost. 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 solution, .html and .php files are not compatible, so the solution cannot be utilized for websites.

- Email hosting: a solution dedicated to managing your email accounts. Some providers provide webspace hosting solutions for websites, but do not provide an email hosting solution. If you wish to keep a mail address with your domain name but do not want to own a web site, then the e-mail hosting solution is what you need. You can create email mailbox accounts and manage them, but there will be no web service for the domains. The email hosting service includes incoming POP/IMAP and outgoing SMTP email servers.

- Video hosting: this solution enables you to upload and share video clips. You can either share a link to a certain video file, or you can embed the video clip in your website that is hosted elsewhere. The advantage of utilizing this approach instead of uploading the video file in a web hosting account is that the video clip creates a particular amount of central processing unit load, so with a couple of video clips and a few hundred website viewers, you may have a hard time with your hosting supplies. Embedding the video clip will enable you to operate as many video files as you want without hassling about system resources.

- Website hosting: this is the solution that you require if you want to keep a site. To some degree, it includes all of the aforesaid hosting groups since, along with your web pages, you can also host pics and files, you can run databases and mail accounts, upload video files, and so on. At Lonex, for example, you can take a look at web hosting and dedicated web server hosting packages that allow you to have all of the aforementioned solutions in one single location. There may be limitations based on the kind of hosting solution that you've settled on - a free hosting plan, a paid shared hosting account, a VPS or a dedicated server. Depending on that, your site hosting account may be better or worse in comparison with the routine email/file/video/image hosting plans that are tailored for specific web content exclusively.
