How Shared Web Hosting Packages Work

A shared web hosting solution means depositing and/or sharing certain web content on a web server handled by a shared web hosting supplier. There are various kinds of hosting services used for different goals, so let's study these. In that way, you can elect what you need, based on whether you wish to have a blog, mails, or to share files with pals and associates.

- File hosting: a solution made available by certain web hosts, which enables you to share huge files. These could be disk images, films, audio files, archived documents, etc. This service is also known as file storage, and its single designation is to share files, since it does not offer web page 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 read an inventory of all the files in a directory, but you will be unable to see .html or .php website files in your browser. Free-of-charge file hosting packages often involve adverts beside the download links, while a timer makes you await a specific period of time to see them. A single file can be downloaded with limited speed. If you buy a paid file storage plan, there are no limitations as to how many files you can upload/download at once, and also there is no limit with regard to the download speed or the file size.

Now, with the assistance of the cPanel web hosting providers, "file hosting" is being renamed to the more modish "cloud shared web hosting". This is a totally mistaken explanation of the actual denotation of "cloud hosting". A real cloud shared web hosting platform would allot the load between independent stacks of web hosting servers in a cluster, which are committed to attending different shared web hosting services (electronic mail, disk space, statistics, DNS, databases, CP, and so on.) So, the file hosting service is simply a kind of a disk storage hosting solution, not a cloud shared web hosting one. It's not even close.

- Image hosting: resembling file hosting; some distributors provide a hosting solution for pictures exclusively. This hosting type is good if you want to share a large amount of images with chums or partners since the service is mostly free. You will get a randomly generated link for every image or album and you can subsequently share this link. As with the file hosting service, .html and .php files are not supported, so the service cannot be utilized for sites.

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

- Video hosting: this solution permits you to upload and share video clips. You can either share a link to a given video, or you can embed the video in your web page that is hosted somewhere else. The advantage of availing of this method instead of uploading the video in a web hosting account is that the video file creates a specific amount of central processing unit load, so with a bunch of video files and a few hundred site visitors, you may have trouble with your shared web hosting reserves. Embedding the video file will enable you to have as many video files as you wish without worrying about system quotas.

- Shared web hosting: this is the service that you need if you desire to have a website. To some degree, it includes all of the aforesaid hosting sorts since, along with your web sites, you can also host images and files, you can create databases and e-mails, upload video clips, and so on. At Hesse Hosting you can take a glimpse at shared shared web hosting and dedicated server web hosting solutions that permit you to have all of the aforementioned services in one location. There may be limits based on the kind of shared web hosting service that you've settled on - a free hosting plan, a paid shared hosting account, a VPS web hosting or a dedicated server. Based on that, your shared web hosting plan may be better or worse in comparison with the normal email/file/video/image hosting plans that are purposed for particular web content only.
