A shared hosting service refers to storing and/or sharing given web content on a hosting server managed by a shared hosting provider. There are different groups of hosting services used for various goals, so let's have a glimpse at them. In that way, you can elect what you want, depending on whether you wish to launch a blog, email box accounts, or to share files with buddies and colleagues.

- File hosting: a solution offered by various web hosts, which enables you to share large files. These could be disk images, motion pictures, audio files, archives, and so on. This service is also known as file storage, and its single objective is to share files, since it does not support site uploading. Once the files are uploaded, you will either get a randomly created download link for each of them, or you will be able to survey a roster of all the files in a directory, but you will not be able to load .html or .php web page files in your browser. Free-of-charge file storage plans are frequently supported by displaying ads beside the download links, while a timer makes you wait for a certain period of time to view them. A single file can be downloaded with restricted speed. If you possess a paid file hosting account, there are no limitations as to how many files you can upload/download immediately, and also there is no restriction as far as the download speed and the file size are concerned.

At the moment, with the assistance of the cPanel web hosting retailers, "file hosting" is being renamed to the more faddish "cloud shared hosting". This is an entirely amiss interpretation of the real denotation of "cloud hosting". A real cloud shared hosting platform would assign the tasks at hand between different packs of servers in a cluster, which are devoted to attending miscellaneous shared hosting services (electronic mail, web space, stats, DNS, databases, CP, etc.) So, the file hosting service is just a type of a disk storage hosting solution, not a cloud shared hosting one. It's not even close.

- Image hosting: resembling file hosting; certain providers offer a hosting solution for pictures exclusively. This hosting type is appropriate if you desire to share a big amount of images with mates or associates since the service is mostly free of charge. You will obtain a randomly generated link for every picture or album and you can then share this link. As with the file hosting solution, .html and .php files are not supported, so the solution cannot be utilized for web sites.

- E-mail hosting: a solution committed to administering your mail address accounts. Some companies provide shared hosting services for sites, but do not offer an e-mail solution. If you desire to keep a mail address with your domain name but do not desire to keep a website, then the email shared hosting solution is what you need. You can create e-mail accounts and administer them, but there will be no web service for the domain. The email hosting solution involves incoming POP/IMAP and outgoing SMTP email servers.

- Video hosting: this solution enables you to upload and share video files. You can either share a link to a particular video clip, or you can embed the video file in your site that is hosted somewhere else. The advantage of utilizing this method in lieu of uploading the video file in a hosting account is that the video file generates a certain amount of central processing unit load, so with a few videos and a few hundred web site visitors, you may have a problem with your shared hosting supplies. Embedding the video file will enable you to own as many videos as you wish without hassling about system reserves.

- Shared hosting: this is the service that you need if you wish to have a website. To a certain extent, it embodies all of the aforementioned hosting brands since, along with your web sites, you can also host pics and files, you can have databases and e-mails, upload videos, and so on. At SupremePlan.com you can take a glance at shared shared hosting and dedicated server services that enable you to have all of the aforementioned solutions in one single place. There may be limitations depending on the sort of shared hosting service that you've chosen - a free hosting package, a paid shared web hosting package, a VPS hosting or a dedicated server. Based on that, your shared hosting package may be better or worse compared with the customary email/file/video/image hosting packages that are devised for particular content only.
