Shared Hosting Packages Definition

A shared hosting solution is associated with stockpiling and/or sharing given content on a web server administered by a shared hosting distributor. There are various kinds of hosting services used for different goals, so let's take a gaze at them. Thus, you can conclude what you need, on the basis of whether you desire to have a blog, e-mailbox accounts, or to share files with chums and partners.

- File hosting: a solution made available by some companies, which permits you to share huge files. These could be disk images, films, 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 offer web page uploading. As soon as the files are uploaded, you will either receive an accidentally created 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 view .html or .php web files in your web browser. Free-of-charge file storage solutions frequently include ads next to the download links, while a timer obliges you to wait for a particular period of time to observe them. A given file can be downloaded with limited speed. If you run a paid file storage package, there are no restrictions as to how many files you can upload/download right away, and also there is no limitation as far as the download speed and the file size are concerned.

These days, with the assistance of the cPanel web hosting retailers, "file hosting" is being renamed to the more stylish "cloud shared hosting". This is a completely awry interpretation of the real connotation of "cloud hosting". A real cloud shared hosting system would divide the workload between autonomous groups of web servers in a cluster, which are committed to attending various shared hosting services (mail, disk space, stats, DNS, databases, CP, and so on.) So, the file hosting service is simply 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; specific distributors offer a hosting service for images solely. This hosting kind is suitable if you desire to share an enormous quantity of pics with buddies or colleagues since the service is commonly free of cost. You will obtain a randomly generated link for every picture or album and you can then share this link. As with the file hosting service, .html and .php files are not supported, so the service cannot be used for web sites.

- E-mail hosting: a solution dedicated to managing your e-mail addresses. Some companies provide shared hosting services for sites, but do not provide an e-mail hosting solution. If you would like to launch an email address with your domain name but do not wish to have a site, then the e-mail shared hosting solution is what you need. You can create mail address accounts and manage them, but there will be no hosting service for the domain. The email hosting solution includes incoming POP/IMAP and outgoing SMTP mail servers.

- Video hosting: this solution enables you to upload and share videos. You can either share a link to a particular video clip, or you can embed the video in your web site that is hosted elsewhere. The advantage of using 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 several video clips and a few hundred viewers, you may have trouble with your shared hosting resources. Embedding the video will allow you to have as many video clips as you want to without worrying about system reserves.

- Shared hosting: this is the solution that you require if you would like to possess a website. To a certain degree, it includes all of the aforementioned hosting varieties since, along with your websites, you can also host pictures and files, you can create databases and mail address accounts, upload videos, and so on. At iNet UK you can take a look at shared shared hosting and dedicated server plans that allow you to get all of the aforesaid solutions in one single place. There may be restrictions based on the type of shared hosting service that you've selected - a free hosting plan, a paid shared website hosting plan, a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. Depending on that, your shared hosting package may be better or worse compared to the standard e-mail/file/video/image hosting plans that are made for particular content only.
