- File hosting: a service furnished by given firms, which permits you to share enormous files. These could be disk images, motion pictures, audio files, archived files, etc. This solution is also known as file storage, and its sole designation is to share files, since it does not offer website uploading. Once the files are uploaded, you will either get an accidentally generated download link for each of them, or you will be able to read an index of all the files in a directory, but you will be unable to open .html or .php web files in your browser. Free-of-charge file hosting solutions are frequently supported by exhibiting adverts beside the download links, while a timer makes you wait for a certain stretch of time to observe them. A single file can be downloaded with limited speed. If you buy a paid file storage account, there are no restrictions as to how many files you can upload/download straight away, and also there is no limit in regard to the download speed or the file size.

These days, with the help of the cPanel web hosting providers, "file hosting" is being renamed to the more faddish "cloud hosting". This is a thoroughly awry interpretation of the literal meaning of "cloud hosting". A real cloud hosting system would distribute the tasks at hand between independent groups of web servers in a cluster, which are devoted to attending various hosting services (mail, data storage, statistics, DNS, databases, web hosting Control Panel, and so on.) So, the file hosting solution is merely a kind of a disk storage hosting solution, not a cloud hosting one. It's not even near.

- Image hosting: comparable with file hosting; certain companies offer a hosting service for images solely. This hosting variant is suitable if you desire to share a big quantity of pics with mates or colleagues since the service is typically free of cost. You will get a randomly generated link for each picture or album and you can subsequently share this link. As with the file storage solution, .html and .php files are not supported, so the service cannot be utilized for websites.

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

- Video hosting: this solution allows 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 site that is hosted somewhere else. The advantage of utilizing this method instead of uploading the video file in a web hosting account is that the video creates a certain amount of CPU load, so with a couple of videos and a few hundred site viewers, you may have a problem with your hosting resources. Embedding the video will allow you to operate as many video files as you wish without hassling about system reserves.

- Hosting: this is the service that you need if you wish to possess a site. To some extent, it includes all of the aforementioned hosting sorts since, along with your websites, you can also host pics and files, you can create databases and e-mails, upload video files, etc. At NTYT PERU S.A.C you can have a glance at shared hosting and dedicated server packages that allow you to have all of the abovementioned services in one location. There may be limits based on the form of hosting service that you've settled on - a free web hosting account, a paid shared hosting account, a VPS or a dedicated server. Based on that, your hosting package may be better or worse in comparison with the usual email/file/video/image hosting packages that are conceived for particular web content only.
