Description of Shared Hosting Services

A shared hosting service entails saving and/or sharing specific web content on a web server administered by a shared hosting vendor. There are different groups of hosting services used for various goals, so let's survey them. Thus, you can elect what you need, on the basis of whether you'd like to have a website, mailbox accounts, or to share files with buddies and acquaintances.

- File hosting: a service distributed by particular vendors, which permits you to share bulky files. These could be disk images, films, audio files, archived files, and so on. This service is also known as file storage, and its only objective is to share files, since it does not support site uploading. Once the files are uploaded, you will either receive a randomly generated download link for each of them, or you will be able to see a register of all the files in a directory, but you will be unable to view .html or .php web site files in your browser. Free-of-cost file storage packages often include ads next to the download links, while a timer makes you await a particular stretch of time to see them. A single file can be downloaded with restricted speed. If you get 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 with regard to the download speed or the file size.

Now, with the assistance of the cPanel hosting vendors, "file hosting" is being renamed to the more fashionable "cloud shared hosting". This is a totally fallacious explanation of the literal definition of "cloud hosting". An actual cloud shared hosting platform would allocate the workload between autonomous packs of web servers in a cluster, which are dedicated to attending different shared hosting services (email, data storage, statistics, DNS, databases, hosting CP, etc.) So, the file hosting service is simply a kind of a disk storage hosting service, not a cloud shared hosting one. It's not even near.

- Image hosting: resembling file hosting; given vendors offer a hosting solution for images only. This hosting type is suitable if you desire to share a huge amount of pictures with pals or acquaintances since the solution is commonly free. You will obtain a randomly generated link for every picture or album and you can subsequently share this link. As with the file storage service, .html and .php files are not supported, so the solution cannot be used for sites.

- Email hosting: a service devoted to tackling your e-mail accounts. Some providers provide shared hosting services for websites, but do not supply an email service. If you desire to keep a mail address with your domain but do not wish to have a website, then the email shared hosting service is what you require. You can create e-mail address accounts and manage them, but there will be no hosting solution for the domain name. The e-mail hosting service includes incoming POP/IMAP and outgoing SMTP email servers.

- Video hosting: this solution permits you to upload and share video files. You can either share a link to a certain video, or you can embed the video in your site that is hosted elsewhere. The benefit of using this approach instead of uploading the video file in a hosting account is that the video file brings about a given amount of central processing unit load, so with several video clips and a few hundred viewers, you may have a hard time with your shared hosting reserves. Embedding the video will allow you to keep as many video clips as you would like without hassling about system resources.

- Shared hosting: this is the solution that you need if you would like to keep a website. To a certain degree, it comprises all of the aforementioned hosting groups since, along with your sites, you can also host pictures and files, you can set up databases and mail aliases, upload video files, etc. At MarkTel Corporation you can examine shared shared hosting and dedicated hosting solutions that allow you to have all of the aforementioned solutions in one location. There may be limitations depending on the form of shared hosting service that you've chosen - a free hosting plan, a paid shared web hosting account, a VPS hosting or a dedicated server. Based on that, your shared hosting account may be better or worse juxtaposed to the ordinary email/file/video/image hosting packages that are made for specific web content only.
