Groups of hosting services

A hosting solution is associated with stockpiling and/or sharing certain content on a web hosting server hosted by a hosting provider. There are various sorts of hosting services utilized for different ends, so let's have a gaze at these. In that way, you can determine what you need, on the basis of whether you desire to have a web site, mails, or to share files with buddies and associates.

- File hosting: a service furnished by various file storage providers, which lets you share huge 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 objective is to share files, since it does not support web page uploading. As soon as 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 roster of all the files in a directory, but you will be unable to view .html or .php web page files in your browser. Free file storage plans are frequently supported by exhibiting ads beside the download links, while a timer compels you to await a specific span of time to perceive them. A single file can be downloaded with restricted speed. If you have a paid file storage package, there are no limitations as to how many files you can upload/download right away, and also there is no restriction as far as the download speed and the file size are concerned.

Now, with the help of the cPanel hosting vendors, "file hosting" is being renamed to the more fashionable "cloud hosting". This is a completely fallacious explanation of the real meaning of "cloud hosting". An actual cloud website hosting system would divide the load between separate groups of web hosting servers in a cluster, which are dedicated to serving different website hosting services (mail, disk space, stats, DNS, databases, web space hosting CP, and so on.) So, the file hosting solution is simply a sort of a disk storage hosting service, not a cloud hosting one. It's not even close.

- Image hosting: close to file hosting; given firms offer a hosting service for pictures exclusively. This hosting type is suitable if you wish to share a large amount of images with comrades or acquaintances since the service is typically free of charge. You will get a random link for each and every image or album and you can then share this link. As with the file storage service, .html and .php files are not supported, so the solution cannot be used for websites.

- E-mail hosting: a service dedicated to taking care of your mail addresses. Some firms provide site hosting services for web sites, but do not offer an e-mail hosting solution. If you wish to create a mail address with your domain name but do not want to own a website, then the email hosting solution is what you need. You can open mail accounts and administer them, but there will be no web service for the domains. The e-mail hosting service involves incoming POP/IMAP and outgoing SMTP email servers.

- Video hosting: this solution allows you to upload and share videos. You can either share a link to a particular video, or you can embed the video clip in your website that is hosted somewhere else. The advantage of using this approach in lieu of uploading the video file in a hosting account is that the video produces a certain amount of central processing unit load, so with several video files and a few hundred site viewers, you may have a hard time with your web space hosting reserves. Embedding the video file will allow you to manage as many videos as you want without worrying about system resources.

- Website hosting: this is the solution that you need if you would like to possess a site. To a certain extent, it includes all of the abovementioned hosting groups since, along with your websites, you can also host images and files, you can keep databases and e-mail aliases, upload video clips, etc. At Thexyz Inc, for instance, you can take a glance at web hosting and dedicated server hosting plans that permit you to have all of the aforesaid solutions in a single place. There may be limitations depending on the kind of hosting service that you've chosen - a free hosting package, a paid shared hosting plan, a VPS or a dedicated server. Depending on that, your web page hosting package may be better or worse juxtaposed to the typical email/file/video/image hosting packages that are purposed for specific web content exclusively.
