A review of Hosting Domain

We, at itech-s.com, have selected 'Hosting Domain' to be our present domain and web hosting provider. Therefore we suppose that this short assessment of 'Hosting Domain' is perhaps going to be very helpful for other folks from all over the Globe who need domain name and web hosting services. We say individuals from all around the World, because the simple fact is that 'Hosting Domain' presently offers domain and hosting services in several server farm facility sites: in America (Chicago, IL), in the UK (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). That way, encompassing virtually the entire Earth. At least from the point of view of the World Wide Web. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Hosting Domain' in brief:

Shared Website Hosting Plans

The initial detail we, at itech-s.com, have discerned is the affordable prices of the shared website hosting solutions furnished by 'Hosting Domain'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared web hosting. The good thing here is that the hosting accounts furnished by 'Hosting Domain' are powered by a custom developed, modern cloud web hosting solution (each hosting service, like email, databases, web hosting Control Panel, data storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being run on an individual group of web hosting servers in a cluster). This is something EVERY cPanel web hosting company in the World will have big predicaments with, because cPanel is a one single server based webspace hosting platform (each hosting service, such as email, databases, web hosting Control Panel, data storage, DNS, statistics, etc., runs on a single server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel-based hosting distributors are unable to include additional functionality and handle it the way they want it) and there is no open source file platform (they must concoct their own file platform), which is the premise of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared site hosting packages, which are powered by a real cloud web hosting system. With a shared website hosting package, each client pays solely for his/her account, thus preserving the website hosting price really low (because lots of users share the same web hosting server). In brief, a shared hosting account, which runs on a clustered webspace hosting solution, enables you to pay only for the resources that you really need, averting a scenario where you pay for a feature-rich web hosting account that you cannot really utilize, or for a tiny web space hosting plan that cannot accommodate your web page. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with just two clicks gives you the flexibility to kick off with a low-end package and upgrade as your site grows. In this way, you economize money that you can spend on publicizing the site while it is still novel. Every hosting plan furnished by 'Hosting Domain' contains an online site building tool and over forty widely used script software applications among them WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you 100s of dollars for web page design solutions. 'Hosting Domain' delivers shared webspace hosting packages in several different countries across the Globe. There is one datacenter in Chicago covering the United States of America and Canada; 2 European data center facilities - in Britain and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia-Pacific region. That way, practically the entire Globe is covered to provide you and your web page's visitors with a steady and reliable webspace hosting service at a convenient place. As a whole, the shared hosting plans delivered 'Hosting Domain' are quite well equipped and come at a cut-rate price (starting from $6.08 for the Simple plan).

Semi-dedicated Hosting Servers

To users with little or no experience, a private virtual web hosting server may appear difficult to manage. That's probably why 'Hosting Domain' also stores semi-dedicated servers in its principal North American server farm in Chicago. Administering these accounts is similar to managing a regular shared site hosting package via a web space hosting Control Panel user interface. They have all the features of a shared webspace hosting plan such as a fee-free site builder and a web app installation tool, but the amount of system resources typical of a semi-dedicated hosting server package is many times larger than that of a shared web site hosting account. For instance, the central processing unit power that can be used is about FIVE times as much as compared with the shared hosting plans. When juxtaposed to a shared web site hosting package, the number of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting accounts is huge: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted TLD allowance is a trend as well. The semi-dedicated accounts do not offer server root access (we, at itech-s.com, deem this a little weak point), but the benefit is that they are managed via the same website hosting CP user interface as the shared site hosting accounts. This signifies that a user-friendly GUI is available to all customers who are not confident enough to handle a Virtual Private Server, but at the same time demand more power and supplies than a VPS hosting server can supply them with. This is so because of the fact that the semi-dedicated servers share the resources of the same powerful cutting edge servers as the ones which accommodate the Virtual Private Server hosting packages, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated servers is very small (somewhere between twenty to thirty per physical server), while the VPS servers can reach a much higher number (80 to 120 per physical machine). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers delivered by 'Hosting Domain' can be defined as being very inexpensive (as far as price is concerned), commencing from $20.00 for the Semi-dedicated L plan.

Dedicated Web Servers

In itech-s.com's opinion, big websites such as social networks, community and business web portals or famous web storefronts with 1000s of clients require a much more powerful web site hosting solution. It appears that the blokes from 'Hosting Domain' have arrived at the same conclusion as well. To meet its users' needs, 'Hosting Domain' delivers an array of dedicated servers that can cope with millions of daily visits. That assessment rests on the hardware configurations the dedicated hosting servers boast: many-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, two thousand GB of web space and Gigabit NICs will beyond doubt guarantee the fast and stable performance of any sort of site. In 'Hosting Domain's opinion, the original hardware configurations can be upgraded for more resource-requiring websites. We, from itech-s.com, believe that all dedicated server solutions supplied by 'Hosting Domain' are also appropriate for setting up a hosting reseller business as each dedicated hosting server offers free-of-cost billing transaction software platform and a fee-free domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated web servers provided by 'Hosting Domain' are all unmanaged. We, at itech-s.com, regard this as a minor weak point, which can be righted by paying a monthly fee of $36.00 USD. So, if you demand backing, the Managed Services upgrade provides various extra services such as a regular backup, software installation, server surveillance and troubleshooting procedures. A bouquet of website hosting Control Panel (CP) user interfaces are available with each of the servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (itech-s.com's) forecast is that the outstanding drag and drop File Manager available in the Hepsia site hosting Control Panel will probably render the recourse to any FTP client useless. Our (itech-s.com's) inference is that the dedicated servers offered by 'Hosting Domain' don't appear to be very low priced (still the Hepsia CP and the unmetered hosted domain allowance will undoubtedly make you smile), starting from $40.00 for the Puma package.
