Description of Shared Hosting Solutions

A shared hosting service entails stashing and/or sharing given web content on a web server run by a shared hosting provider. There are various forms of hosting services used for different aims, so let's take a peek at these. In that way, you can elect what you want, based on whether you desire to have a site, email mailbox accounts, or to share files with friends and partners.

- File hosting: a solution offered by particular file storage providers, which permits you to share large files. These could be disk images, motion pictures, audio files, archived documents, etc. This solution is also known as file storage, and its only purpose is to share files, since it does not support web site uploading. Once the files are uploaded, you will either obtain an accidentally created download link for each of them, or you will be able to see an inventory of all the files in a directory, but you will not be able to see .html or .php web site files in your browser. Free-of-cost file storage packages are frequently supported by exhibiting advertisements beside the download links, while a timer compels you to wait for a specific span of time to perceive them. A single file can be downloaded with restricted speed. If you run a paid file hosting account, there are no limits as to how many files you can upload/download at once, and also there is no limit in regard to the download speed or the file size.

Nowadays, with the help of the cPanel web hosting wholesalers, "file hosting" is being renamed to the more modern "cloud shared hosting". This is an entirely false interpretation of the literal connotation of "cloud hosting". An actual cloud shared hosting environment would assign the tasks at hand between autonomous hosts of web servers in a cluster, which are committed to serving different shared hosting services (email, storage space, stats, DNS, databases, web hosting Control Panel, etc.) So, the file hosting service is only a sort of a disk storage hosting service, not a cloud shared hosting one. It's not even near.

- Image hosting: comparable with file hosting; specific distributors provide a hosting service for images exclusively. This hosting kind is suitable if you would like to share a big amount of images with buddies or colleagues since the service is generally free of cost. You will get a random link for each and every 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 sites.

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

- Video hosting: this solution permits you to upload and share videos. You can either share a link to a given video clip, or you can embed the video file in your website that is hosted elsewhere. The benefit of utilizing this method in lieu of uploading the video clip in a hosting account is that the video clip brings about a certain amount of CPU load, so with a bunch of video files and a few hundred website visitors, you may have a hard time with your shared hosting resources. Embedding the video file will permit you to operate as many video files as you would like without hassling about system quotas.

- Shared hosting: this is the service that you need if you wish to run a site. To some extent, it encompasses all of the abovementioned hosting kinds since, along with your web pages, you can also host pictures and files, you can have databases and e-mailbox accounts, upload videos, and so on. At TADOS Hosting you can view shared shared hosting and dedicated hosting packages that allow you to have all of the abovementioned solutions in a single place. There may be restrictions based on the type of shared hosting service that you've chosen - a free web hosting plan, a paid shared web hosting account, a VPS hosting or a dedicated server. Based on that, your shared hosting package may be better or worse compared to the customary email/file/video/image hosting accounts that are devised for particular web content only.
