Groups of hosting services
A hosting service involves depositing and/or sharing particular content on a web server hosted by a hosting company. There are various sorts of hosting services utilized for different goals, so let's take a gaze at these. Thus, you can conclude what you want, based on whether you wish to own a website, e-mail box accounts, or to share files with chums and associates.
- File hosting: a solution offered by some firms, which allows you to share immense 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 only goal is to share files, since it does not offer website uploading. As soon as the files are uploaded, you will either obtain an accidentally created download link for each of them, or you will be able to examine a record of all the files in a directory, but you will be unable to view .html or .php web files in your browser. Free file hosting services often include adverts by the download links, while a timer forces you to wait for a specific period of time to view them. A given file can be downloaded with restricted speed. If you own a paid file storage plan, there are no limitations as to how many files you can upload/download immediately, and also there is no limitation with regard to the download speed or the file size.
These days, with the help of the cPanel hosting companies, "file hosting" is being renamed to the more modish "cloud hosting". This is an entirely fallacious explanation of the real definition of "cloud hosting". A real cloud website hosting platform would apportion the tasks at hand between autonomous groups of web servers in a cluster, which are devoted to attending various web page hosting services (electronic mail, disk space, statistics, DNS, databases, web hosting CP, etc.) So, the file hosting service is just a sort of a data storage hosting solution, not a cloud hosting one. It's not even near.
- Image hosting: akin to file hosting; specific distributors offer a hosting solution for images only. This hosting variant is appropriate if you want to share an enormous quantity of images with mates or acquaintances since the service is usually free of charge. You will receive a random link for every image or album and you can subsequently share this link. As with the file hosting solution, .html and .php files are not compatible, so the service cannot be utilized for web pages.
- E-mail hosting: a solution committed to tackling your e-mail box accounts. Some corporations offer hosting solutions for web sites, but do not supply an email hosting solution. If you desire to run an e-mail address with your domain name but do not desire to keep a web site, then the email hosting service is what you need. You can open e-mail address accounts and administer them, but there will be no web service for the domains. The email hosting service includes incoming POP/IMAP and outgoing SMTP mail servers.
- Video hosting: this service permits you to upload and share videos. You can either share a link to a particular video clip, or you can embed the video in your website that is hosted elsewhere. The advantage of utilizing this method instead of uploading the video file in a hosting account is that the video creates a certain amount of CPU load, so with a bunch of video files and a few hundred web page viewers, you may have trouble with your site hosting supplies. Embedding the video will allow you to manage as many video files as you want without bothering about system quotas.
- Web site hosting: this is the solution that you need if you want to run a website. To some degree, it contains all of the aforesaid hosting sorts since, along with your web sites, you can also host pics and files, you can run databases and e-mailbox accounts, upload videos, etc. At JAZZSPEED HOSTING (JAZZ SOLUTIONS PTE LTD), for instance, you can take a glance at web hosting and dedicated server hosting accounts that allow you to get all of the abovementioned solutions in one single location. There may be limits based on the form of hosting service that you've chosen - a free hosting account, a paid shared hosting package, a VPS or a dedicated server. Based on that, your hosting package may be better or worse in comparison with the standard e-mail/file/video/image hosting packages that are conceived for specific web content solely.
