Groups of hosting services

A hosting service suggests keeping and/or sharing particular web content on a web hosting server hosted by a website hosting provider. There are various categories of hosting services used for various goals, so let's explore these. Thus, you can decide what you need, depending on whether you desire to establish a web site, mail address accounts, or to share files with friends and partners.

- File hosting: a service delivered by particular firms, which permits you to share big files. These could be disk images, movies, audio files, archived files, and so on. This solution is also known as file storage, and its single function is to share files, since it does not support web page uploading. Once the files are uploaded, you will either receive a randomly generated download link for each of them, or you will be able to read a roll of all the files in a directory, but you will not be able to load .html or .php web files in your web browser. Free-of-charge file storage solutions frequently involve adverts by the download links, while a timer obliges you to await a certain amount of time to observe them. A single file can be downloaded with restricted speed. If you have a paid file storage account, there are no restrictions as to how many files you can upload/download instantly, and also there is no limitation with regard to the download speed or the file size.

These days, with the assistance of the cPanel hosting retailers, "file hosting" is being renamed to the more faddish "cloud hosting". This is a totally improper explanation of the real denotation of "cloud hosting". An actual cloud website hosting system would allot the workload between autonomous stacks of servers in a cluster, which are committed to serving different hosting services (email, data storage, statistics, DNS, databases, web space hosting CP, and so on.) So, the file hosting service is just a sort of a disk storage hosting service, not a cloud hosting one. It's not even close.

- Image hosting: comparable with file hosting; given providers provide a hosting solution for pictures only. This hosting kind is good if you wish to share a vast amount of images with comrades or colleagues since the solution is typically free of charge. You will get a random link for every picture or album and you can then share this link. As with the file hosting solution, .html and .php files are not supported, so the solution cannot be used for web pages.

- Email hosting: a service dedicated to taking care of your email address accounts. Some companies provide website hosting solutions for web sites, but do not supply an email hosting solution. If you desire to keep an e-mail address with your domain name but do not desire to possess a web site, then the email hosting service is what you want. You can open mail accounts and manage them, but there will be no hosting solution for the domains. The email hosting service involves incoming POP/IMAP and outgoing SMTP e-mail 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 clip in your site that is hosted somewhere else. The advantage of using this method instead of uploading the video file in a hosting account is that the video creates a specific amount of CPU load, so with a handful of video clips and a few hundred web site visitors, you may have a problem with your webspace hosting supplies. Embedding the video clip will permit you to manage as many video files as you want without hassling about system reserves.

- Website hosting: this is the service that you require if you want to possess a site. To some degree, it comprises all of the abovementioned hosting kinds since, along with your web sites, you can also host pics and files, you can create databases and emails, upload video clips, etc. At vPro Hosting, for example, you can take a peek at web hosting and dedicated web hosting packages that allow you to have all of the aforesaid services in one single place. There may be restrictions depending on the type of hosting solution that you've picked - a free hosting plan, a paid shared hosting account, a VPS or a dedicated server. Based on that, your web page hosting plan may be better or worse in comparison with the customary e-mail/file/video/image hosting plans that are made for specific content only.
