An evaluation of WebHost-ing.com

We, at stuffat.com, have picked 'WebHost-ing.com' to be our present domain name and hosting provider. Hence we anticipate that this short evaluation of 'WebHost-ing.com' is perhaps going to be quite useful for other individuals from all around the Globe who seek domain name and web hosting services. We state people from all around the World, because the simple truth is that 'WebHost-ing.com' presently distributes domain and hosting services in several datacenter sites: in America (Chicago, IL), in England (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, embracing practically the whole planet. At least as far as the Internet is concerned. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'WebHost-ing.com' in a nutshell:

Shared Web Page Hosting Packages

The initial thing we, at stuffat.com, have seen is the modest prices of the shared web site hosting accounts delivered by 'WebHost-ing.com'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared hosting. The good news here is that the web hosting plans supplied by 'WebHost-ing.com' are driven by an in-house built, state-of-the-art cloud web hosting platform (each web hosting service, like mail, databases, Control Panel, storage space, DNS, stats, etc., is being dealt with by an autonomous pack of web hosting servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting vendor on the Globe will have immense difficulties with, since cPanel is a one-server based web space hosting platform (each hosting service, such as email, databases, web hosting Control Panel, disk storage, DNS, stats, and so on, is being served by a single web hosting server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel web site hosting suppliers are unable to include new functionality and manipulate it the way they need 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 get back to the shared web space hosting accounts, which are driven by a genuine cloud hosting platform. With a shared web page hosting account, each client pays only for his/her account, thus retaining the webspace hosting price really low (because many customers are hosted on one and the same web server). In brief, a shared hosting plan, which is hosted on a cloud hosting platform, enables you to pay solely for the resources that you indeed require, refraining from a situation where you pay for a high-end web hosting account that you cannot really use, or for a low-end hosting package that cannot host your web page. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with only two clicks of the mouse grants you the flexibility to begin with a small plan and upgrade as your web page expands. In this way, you spare funds that you can invest in promoting the web page while it is still brand new. Each and every site hosting plan offered by 'WebHost-ing.com' offers an online website building tool and over 40 widely used script platforms among them WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you 100s of dollars for web page design services. 'WebHost-ing.com' offers shared webspace hosting services in a number of different countries around the World. There is one server farm facility in Chicago covering the United States and Canada; 2 European data centers - in Britain and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia Pacific. That way, nearly the entire World is encompassed to provide you and your web page's visitors with a steady and reliable web space hosting solution at a convenient location. As a whole, the shared hosting packages provided 'WebHost-ing.com' are really well furnished and come at a very attractive price (beginning from $3.95 for the Starter package).

Semi-dedicated Web Hosting Servers

To people with little or no experience, a VPS server may appear troublesome to handle. That's perhaps why 'WebHost-ing.com' also houses semi-dedicated hosting servers in its principal United States server farm in Chicago. Handling these packages is comparable to administering a standard shared web site hosting plan through a web site hosting Control Panel user interface. They have all the functionalities of a shared web site hosting account such as a free-of-cost website building tool and a web app installer, but the amount of system resources provided by a semi-dedicated hosting server account is many times bigger than that of a shared webspace hosting plan. For instance, the CPU power that can be used is nearly FIVE times as much as compared with the shared web page hosting accounts. When compared with a shared hosting plan, the quota of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is great: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted Top-Level Domain allowance is a standard too. The semi-dedicated hosting server plans do not offer complete root-level access (we, at stuffat.com, regard this as a minor weakness), but the benefit is that they are administered through the very same webspace hosting CP GUI as the shared hosting accounts. This implies that a recognizable graphical environment is accessible by all clients who are not self-confident enough to administer a virtual web server, yet need more power and resources than a virtual hosting server can furnish them with. This is like that because the semi-dedicated servers share the system resources of the very same powerful top-class servers as the ones which accommodate the Virtual Private Server packages, however, the number of the semi-dedicated web hosting servers is very low (somewhere between 20 to 30 per physical machine), while the virtual private web servers can reach a much higher number (80 to 120 per physical machine). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers provided by 'WebHost-ing.com' can be branded as being quite inexpensive (as far as cost is concerned), commencing from $20.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 plan.

Dedicated Servers

According to stuffat.com, big web pages such as social networks, community and business portals or popular online shops with 1000s of customers request a much more powerful web site hosting environment. It seems that the blokes from 'WebHost-ing.com' have come to the same conclusion too. To meet its users' expectations, 'WebHost-ing.com' offers an assortment of dedicated web hosting servers that can tackle millions of daily hits. That evaluation is based on the hardware specs the web servers are offering: many-core processors, up to four GB of RAM, 2000 gigabytes of disk space and Gigabit network interface cards will definitely guarantee the fast and steady work of any sort of website. In 'WebHost-ing.com's opinion, the original hardware specs can be upgraded for more resource-demanding sites. We, from stuffat.com, think that all dedicated server specs provided by 'WebHost-ing.com' are also suitable for commencing a hosting reseller business as every dedicated web hosting server ships with free-of-cost invoice transaction software and a charge-free domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated servers furnished by 'WebHost-ing.com' are all unmanaged. We, at stuffat.com, regard this as a small weak point, which can be amended by paying a monthly fee of $32.00 USD. So, if you are in need of support, the Managed Services upgrade provides an array of extra services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated server surveillance and troubleshooting operations. A number of web hosting Control Panel (CP) GUIs are available with each of the dedicated servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (stuffat.com's) forecast is that the outstanding drag and drop File Manager included in the Hepsia web space hosting CP will possibly make the recourse to any File Transfer Protocol software program pointless. Our (stuffat.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers provided by 'WebHost-ing.com' don't appear to be very modestly priced (still the Hepsia web space hosting Control Panel and the unlimited hosted domain allowance will beyond doubt make you smile), beginning from $40.00 for the Atom 2c plan.
