Shared Hosting Solutions Description

A shared hosting service appertains to stockpiling and/or sharing specific web content on a web hosting server managed by a shared hosting company. There are different sorts of hosting services used for various purposes, so let's have a look at these. Thus, you can pick what you need, depending on whether you'd like to build a site, mail addresses, or to share files with comrades and colleagues.

- File hosting: a service offered by particular providers, which permits you to share enormous files. These could be disk images, films, audio files, archives, etc. This service is also known as file storage, and its single function is to share files, since it does not support web page uploading. As soon as the files are uploaded, you will either obtain a randomly generated download link for each of them, or you will be able to explore a table of all the files in a directory, but you will not be able to open .html or .php web site files in your browser. Free-of-cost file storage plans are often supported by showing adverts next to the download links, while a timer compels you to wait for a certain amount of time to see them. A single file can be downloaded with limited speed. If you possess a paid file hosting package, there are no limits as to how many files you can upload/download right away, and also there is no limit in regard to the download speed or the file size.

At the moment, with the help of the cPanel web hosting wholesalers, "file hosting" is being renamed to the more trendy "cloud shared hosting". This is a totally erroneous interpretation of the literal connotation of "cloud hosting". A real cloud shared hosting system would allocate the load between autonomous groups of servers in a cluster, which are devoted to attending various shared hosting services (email, storage space, statistics, DNS, databases, web hosting CP, and so on.) So, the file hosting solution is simply a type of a disk storage hosting service, not a cloud shared hosting one. It's not even close.

- Image hosting: close to file hosting; some firms provide a hosting service for pictures exclusively. This hosting variant is suitable if you desire to share a huge amount of pictures with chums or partners since the service is typically free. You will receive a random link for each picture or album and you can then share this link. As with the file storage solution, .html and .php files are not compatible, so the service cannot be used for web sites.

- E-mail hosting: a solution devoted to taking care of your electronic mail accounts. Some vendors provide shared hosting services for web pages, but do not supply an e-mail service. If you would like to open an e-mail address with your domain name but do not wish to own a website, then the email shared hosting service is what you need. You can set up email accounts and administer them, but there will be no hosting solution for the domain. The e-mail hosting service involves incoming POP/IMAP and outgoing SMTP servers.

- Video hosting: this solution enables you to upload and share videos. You can either share a link to a given video clip, or you can embed the video clip in your website that is hosted somewhere else. The benefit of utilizing this approach in lieu of uploading the video file in a web hosting account is that the video clip produces a specific amount of CPU load, so with a bunch of video clips and several hundred web site visitors, you may have a hard time with your shared hosting quotas. Embedding the video will allow you to have as many video clips as you want to without bothering about system reserves.

- Shared hosting: this is the service that you require if you would like to have a web site. To some degree, it comprises all of the abovementioned hosting variants since, along with your sites, you can also host images and files, you can create databases and e-mailbox accounts, upload video files, and so on. At vortex-hosting you can have a glance at shared shared hosting and dedicated server plans that enable you to get all of the aforementioned solutions in one location. There may be restrictions depending on the sort of shared hosting service that you've selected - a free web hosting package, a paid shared web hosting account, a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. Based on that, your shared hosting account may be better or worse in comparison with the usual email/file/video/image hosting accounts that are intended for particular web content only.
