A hosting service suggests storing and/or sharing given web content on a web hosting server managed by a website hosting company. There are various kinds of hosting services utilized for different goals, so let's have a gaze at these. In this way, you can elect what you want, on the basis of whether you wish to own a web portal, mailbox accounts, or to share files with comrades and partners.

- File hosting: a service made available by given firms, which allows you to share large files. These could be disk images, films, audio files, archived documents, etc. This service is also known as file storage, and its single purpose is to share files, since it does not support site uploading. The moment the files are uploaded, you will either receive an accidentally created download link for each of them, or you will be able to explore a register of all the files in a directory, but you will be unable to view .html or .php web files in your web browser. Free file storage packages frequently include adverts next to the download links, while a timer makes you wait for a given stretch of time to view them. A given file can be downloaded with limited speed. If you get a paid file storage account, there are no limitations as to how many files you can upload/download instantly, and also there is no limitation in regard to the download speed or the file size.

Nowadays, with the assistance of the cPanel hosting merchants, "file hosting" is being renamed to the more trendy "cloud hosting". This is a thoroughly amiss interpretation of the actual meaning of "cloud hosting". A real cloud website hosting system would distribute the tasks at hand between separate packs of web hosting servers in a cluster, which are devoted to serving various web hosting services (email, data storage, statistics, DNS, databases, hosting CP, etc.) So, the file hosting service is only a variety of a data storage hosting solution, not a cloud hosting one. It's not even close.

- Image hosting: comparable with file hosting; given corporations offer a hosting solution for pictures only. This hosting kind is appropriate if you would like to share a huge quantity of images with chums or associates since the service is usually free. You will get a random link for each and every picture or album and you can subsequently share this link. As with the file storage service, .html and .php files are not compatible, so the solution cannot be used for web sites.

- E-mail hosting: a solution devoted to tackling your mail accounts. Some vendors offer web page hosting services for sites, but do not supply an email solution. If you would like to keep a mail address with your domain name but do not desire to own a website, then the e-mail hosting solution is what you require. You can open email box accounts and manage them, but there will be no web service for the domains. The e-mail hosting solution includes incoming POP/IMAP and outgoing SMTP mail servers.

- Video hosting: this solution enables you to upload and share video clips. You can either share a link to some video, or you can embed the video clip in your web site that is hosted somewhere else. The benefit of availing of this method instead of uploading the video in a hosting account is that the video generates a specific amount of CPU load, so with a couple of video files and a few hundred web page visitors, you may have a hard time with your web hosting reserves. Embedding the video will permit you to administer as many video files as you desire without hassling about system resources.

- Website hosting: this is the service that you require if you would like to keep a site. To a certain extent, it incorporates all of the abovementioned hosting kinds since, along with your web pages, you can also host images and files, you can have databases and mail address accounts, upload video clips, etc. At AVISANT HOSTING, for instance, you can see web hosting and dedicated server hosting services that permit you to get all of the aforesaid solutions in a single location. There may be limits depending on the type of hosting service that you've selected - a free hosting account, a paid shared hosting package, a VPS or a dedicated server. Based on that, your webspace hosting package may be better or worse compared with the conventional email/file/video/image hosting plans that are planned for specific web content only.
