Groups of hosting services

A hosting service pertains to hoarding and/or sharing certain web content on a web server handled by a web hosting distributor. There are different varieties of hosting services used for various ends, so let's take a look at them. Doing so, you can determine what you need, based on whether you'd like to establish a website, email aliases, or to share files with buddies and associates.

- File hosting: a service provided by certain vendors, which allows you to share huge files. These could be disk images, movies, audio files, archived documents, etc. This solution is also known as file storage, and its sole aim is to share files, since it does not offer website uploading. The moment the files are uploaded, you will either get a randomly generated download link for each of them, or you will be able to explore a register of all the files in a directory, but you will not be able to see .html or .php web site files in your web browser. Free file hosting packages are frequently supported by displaying adverts beside the download links, while a timer compels you to wait for a particular interval of time to perceive them. A given file can be downloaded with limited speed. If you own a paid file storage account, there are no limits as to how many files you can upload/download immediately, and also there is no limitation as far as the download speed and the file size are concerned.

At the moment, with the assistance of the cPanel hosting wholesalers, "file hosting" is being renamed to the more trendy "cloud hosting". This is an entirely fallacious explanation of the real denotation of "cloud hosting". An actual cloud website hosting environment would apportion the workload between independent bunches of web servers in a cluster, which are dedicated to serving miscellaneous site hosting services (electronic mail, data storage, statistics, DNS, databases, web page hosting Control Panel, etc.) So, the file hosting solution is only a variety of a data storage hosting service, not a cloud hosting one. It's not even near.

- Image hosting: comparable with file hosting; some distributors provide a hosting solution for pictures solely. This hosting variant is suitable if you wish to share an immense amount of pictures with mates or colleagues since the service is generally free of charge. You will obtain a randomly generated link for each pic 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 utilized for web sites.

- Email hosting: a solution committed to handling your email box accounts. Some companies provide webspace hosting services for web sites, but do not provide an e-mail hosting solution. If you would like to get an email address with your domain name but do not want to have a web site, then the e-mail hosting solution is what you need. You can set up electronic mail accounts and administer them, but there will be no hosting service for the domains. The e-mail hosting solution involves incoming POP/IMAP and outgoing SMTP servers.

- Video hosting: this service enables you to upload and share video files. You can either share a link to a particular video file, or you can embed the video file in your web page that is hosted somewhere else. The advantage of using this approach in lieu of uploading the video in a web hosting account is that the video clip produces a given amount of CPU load, so with a couple of video clips and several hundred site visitors, you may have difficulty with your site hosting reserves. Embedding the video file will enable you to use as many video files as you would like without bothering about system supplies.

- Web hosting: this is the solution that you need if you want to run a website. To a certain degree, it involves all of the abovementioned hosting brands since, along with your sites, you can also host images and files, you can keep databases and e-mail address accounts, upload video clips, and so on. At CNSS Solutions AB, for example, you can examine web hosting and dedicated server hosting plans that enable you to get all of the abovementioned solutions in one single place. There may be limits depending on the type of hosting solution that you've selected - a free hosting plan, a paid shared hosting account, a VPS or a dedicated server. Depending on that, your site hosting package may be better or worse juxtaposed to the customary email/file/video/image hosting packages that are tailored for particular web content only.
