Shared Hosting Solutions Description

A shared hosting solution is associated with depositing and/or sharing certain web content on a web server handled by a shared hosting vendor. There are different categories of hosting services utilized for different ends, so let's take a peek at these. In that way, you can decide what you need, depending on whether you'd like to run a web portal, e-mail address accounts, or to share files with pals and colleagues.

- File hosting: a service furnished by various file storage providers, which permits you to share bulky 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 sole function is to share files, since it does not support website uploading. As soon as the files are uploaded, you will either receive a randomly created download link for each of them, or you will be able to read an index of all the files in a directory, but you will not be able to load .html or .php web page files in your browser. Free file hosting packages often involve ads by the download links, while a timer obliges you to await a specific span of time to view them. A given file can be downloaded with limited speed. If you purchase a paid file hosting package, 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.

Nowadays, with the help of the cPanel hosting merchants, "file hosting" is being renamed to the more stylish "cloud shared hosting". This is a totally untrue interpretation of the actual denotation of "cloud hosting". A real cloud shared hosting platform would divide the workload between different sets of servers in a cluster, which are committed to serving different shared hosting services (email, disk space, statistics, DNS, databases, web hosting CP, etc.) So, the file hosting service is just a sort of a storage space hosting service, not a cloud shared hosting one. It's not even near.

- Image hosting: similar to file hosting; given corporations provide a hosting service for pictures exclusively. This hosting variant is appropriate if you would like to share a big quantity of pics with mates or associates since the solution is usually free. You will get a randomly generated link for every image 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 used for web pages.

- E-mail hosting: a service devoted to taking care of your mailbox accounts. Some distributors provide shared hosting services for web sites, but do not offer an email solution. If you wish to create an e-mail address with your domain name but do not desire to have a web site, then the e-mail shared hosting solution is what you require. You can open e-mailbox accounts and manage them, but there will be no web solution for the domain name. The e-mail hosting solution involves incoming POP/IMAP and outgoing SMTP servers.

- Video hosting: this solution allows you to upload and share videos. You can either share a link to some video file, or you can embed the video in your web site that is hosted elsewhere. The advantage of utilizing this method instead of uploading the video clip in a web hosting account is that the video creates a particular amount of CPU load, so with a handful of video clips and several hundred viewers, you may have a hard time with your shared hosting reserves. Embedding the video file will enable you to use as many videos as you want to without hassling about system resources.

- Shared hosting: this is the solution that you require if you wish to run a web site. To some extent, it contains all of the aforesaid hosting categories since, along with your websites, you can also host pics and files, you can run databases and mail address accounts, upload video files, etc. At Tehilla Media you can take a peek at shared shared hosting and dedicated server solutions that enable you to get all of the aforesaid services in one single place. There may be limits based on the type of shared hosting service that you've selected - a free hosting plan, a paid shared web hosting account, a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. Depending on that, your shared hosting package may be better or worse compared to the usual e-mail/file/video/image hosting accounts that are made for specific content only.
