What Indeed are Web Hosting Solutions?

A web hosting service concerns saving and/or sharing specific web content on a server managed by a web hosting company. There are various classes of hosting services used for various purposes, so let's explore them. In that way, you can choose what you want, depending on whether you desire to run a website, e-mail accounts, or to share files with mates and colleagues.

- File hosting: a solution provided by certain file storage providers, which permits you to share bulky files. These could be disk images, films, audio files, archived documents, and so on. This solution is also known as file storage, and its single aim is to share files, since it does not support site uploading. Once the files are uploaded, you will either receive an accidentally generated download link for each of them, or you will be able to examine an index of all the files in a directory, but you will be unable to see .html or .php web site files in your web browser. Free-of-cost file storage packages are frequently supported by exhibiting ads beside the download links, while a timer obliges you to wait for a given interval of time to perceive them. A single file can be downloaded with restricted speed. If you run a paid file storage plan, there are no limitations as to how many files you can upload/download straight away, and also there is no restriction when it comes to the download speed or the file size.

These days, with the assistance of the cPanel web hosting distributors, "file hosting" is being renamed to the more faddish "cloud web hosting". This is a thoroughly distorted interpretation of the real meaning of "cloud hosting". A real cloud web hosting platform would apportion the workload between different stacks of web hosting servers in a cluster, which are devoted to attending miscellaneous web hosting services (email, disk space, stats, DNS, databases, hosting Control Panel, and so on.) So, the file hosting solution is just a brand of a disk space hosting solution, not a cloud web hosting one. It's not even near.

- Image hosting: resembling file hosting; certain firms offer a hosting solution for images solely. This hosting type is suitable if you wish to share an enormous number of pics with buddies or acquaintances since the service is generally free of cost. You will receive a random link for each and every pic or album and you can subsequently share this link. As with the file storage solution, .html and .php files are not supported, so the solution cannot be used for websites.

- E-mail hosting: a service dedicated to tackling your email address accounts. Some corporations offer web hosting services for websites, but do not offer an e-mail hosting solution. If you desire to manage a mail address with your domain but do not want to have a site, then the e-mail web hosting solution is what you require. You can open mail accounts and manage them, but there will be no hosting service for the domain. The e-mail hosting service includes incoming POP/IMAP and outgoing SMTP mail servers.

- Video hosting: this service permits you to upload and share video files. You can either share a link to some video clip, or you can embed the video clip in your web page that is hosted elsewhere. The advantage of using this method in lieu of uploading the video in a hosting account is that the video clip brings about a particular amount of central processing unit load, so with a handful of videos and several hundred visitors, you may have difficulty with your web hosting supplies. Embedding the video will enable you to have as many videos as you want to without bothering about system resources.

- Web hosting: this is the service that you require if you want to have a site. To some extent, it incorporates all of the aforementioned hosting brands since, along with your sites, you can also host pictures and files, you can set up databases and mail address accounts, upload videos, and so on. At Bitsolt Hosting you can take a glimpse at shared web hosting and dedicated hosting accounts that enable you to get all of the aforesaid services in one single place. There may be limitations depending on the form of web hosting service that you've settled on - a free hosting account, a paid shared web hosting plan, a VPS hosting or a dedicated server. Based on that, your web hosting package may be better or worse compared to the usual e-mail/file/video/image hosting packages that are planned for specific web content only.
