What is the difference?
While surfing the net to find free space for home videos or favorite songs, users often confuse two things: web hosting and file hosting. So what is the difference? First of all, web hosting allows you to put your site on the web. And file hosting gives you free space, where you can store whatever you want, from files to songs. So now you can save time looking for file hosting instead of web hosting.
Keywords
First, you need to define why you need file hosting. Basically, there are 4 common types of files: video, images, music, and data. If you are looking for some special file hosting server, you should use the keywords “file upload” and add the file type. For example, “file video upload”. Another good way is to write SE “file hosting”. The best SEs IMHO are Google and Yahoo! So start your search and I will tell you how to deal with file hosting services.
How to use it?
Usually, file hosting services offer you to choose a file from your hard drive. As I already said, you can choose mp3, video or any data you want. But keep in mind that the file must meet the upload restrictions. The upload limit can vary from 10 to 250 Mb.
And this is not the only restriction. There may be upload and download speed limits, free space limits, etc. But all these restrictions can be removed if you sign up for a “premium account”. It depends on you.
After uploading a file, you get a link that you can save to the locker or share. Using this link you can download files whenever you want.
There is no doubt that file hosting service is the most reliable and easiest way to share and host your files.
