Classes of hosting services

A hosting solution involves stockpiling and/or sharing given web content on a web hosting server handled by a hosting company. There are various groups of hosting services used for different goals, so let's have a glimpse at them. In this way, you can choose what you need, based on whether you desire to have a website, email aliases, or to share files with comrades and partners.

- File hosting: a service delivered by particular hosts, which allows you to share enormous files. These could be disk images, motion pictures, audio files, archived files, and so on. This service is also known as file storage, and its single designation is to share files, since it does not support website uploading. As soon as the files are uploaded, you will either receive an accidentally generated 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 be unable to open .html or .php web files in your browser. Free-of-cost file storage plans often involve adverts next to the download links, while a timer forces you to await a particular span of time to perceive them. A single file can be downloaded with limited speed. If you run a paid file storage 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.

At present, with the assistance of the cPanel hosting distributors, "file hosting" is being renamed to the more faddish "cloud hosting". This is a thoroughly inaccurate explanation of the real meaning of "cloud hosting". An actual cloud website hosting platform would divide the tasks at hand between separate sets of hosting servers in a cluster, which are dedicated to serving different webspace hosting services (mail, disk space, statistics, DNS, databases, web page hosting CP, and so on.) So, the file hosting service is merely a sort of a disk storage hosting solution, not a cloud hosting one. It's not even near.

- Image hosting: akin to file hosting; certain firms provide a hosting solution for images exclusively. This hosting variant is good if you would like to share a great amount of pictures with mates or acquaintances since the solution is generally free. You will obtain a randomly generated link for every picture or album and you can then share this link. As with the file hosting service, .html and .php files are not supported, so the solution cannot be utilized for web pages.

- Email hosting: a service dedicated to tackling your email accounts. Some firms provide web hosting services for sites, but do not provide an email service. If you would like to keep a mail address with your domain name but do not want to run a site, then the email hosting service is what you need. You can open e-mailbox accounts and manage them, but there will be no web solution for the domains. The e-mail hosting service includes 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 elsewhere. The benefit of availing of this approach instead of uploading the video clip in a hosting account is that the video clip produces a specific amount of CPU load, so with a handful of video files and a few hundred web page visitors, you may have trouble with your site hosting resources. Embedding the video clip will enable you to own as many video clips as you desire without bothering about system reserves.

- Web page hosting: this is the service that you require if you desire to run a web site. To some degree, it contains all of the aforesaid hosting groups since, along with your web pages, you can also host pictures and files, you can run databases and emails, upload video files, and so on. At Arbohosting Inc., for example, you can have a peek at web hosting and dedicated server hosting packages that permit you to have all of the aforementioned solutions in one single location. There may be limitations based on the sort of hosting service that you've opted for - a free hosting package, a paid shared hosting package, a VPS or a dedicated server. Based on that, your website hosting plan may be better or worse compared to the standard e-mail/file/video/image hosting plans that are conceived for specific content exclusively.
