An assessment of WebHost-ing.com

We, at brassthings.com, have selected 'WebHost-ing.com' to be our present domain and hosting distributor. Therefore we anticipate that this brief evaluation of 'WebHost-ing.com' is maybe going to be very useful for other individuals from all around the Globe who are looking for domain name and web hosting solutions. We state individuals from all over the Globe, since the mere fact is that 'WebHost-ing.com' presently distributes domain and hosting services in several data center facility locations: in America (Chicago, IL), in Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, covering virtually the whole Globe. At least as far as the World Wide Web is concerned. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'WebHost-ing.com' in brief:

Shared Web Space Hosting Solutions

The initial detail we, at brassthings.com, have seen is the affordable prices of the shared web space hosting accounts delivered by 'WebHost-ing.com'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared web hosting. The good news here is that the web space hosting plans supplied by 'WebHost-ing.com' are driven by a custom invented, advanced cloud web hosting platform (each hosting service, such as mail, databases, Control Panel, disk space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being handled by a different group of servers in a cluster). This is something ANY cPanel web hosting supplier on the Globe will have big troubles with, because cPanel is a one-server based webspace hosting environment (each hosting service, like email, databases, web page hosting CP, web space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being run on one and the same web server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel web site hosting providers are unable to add additional functionality and manipulate it the way they want it) and there is no open source file platform (they must concoct their own file system), which is the premise of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared web site hosting packages, which are driven by an actual cloud site hosting platform. With a shared web hosting plan, each client pays just for his/her plan, thus maintaining the web hosting price amazingly low (because plenty of customers are located on the same web server). In short, a shared hosting package, which is being served by a cloud web page hosting platform, allows you to pay solely for the reserves that you indeed require, escaping a scenario where you pay for a high-end web hosting package that you cannot really use, or for a small web site hosting package that cannot handle your website. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with just two mouse clicks grants you the flexibility to start with a basic package and upgrade as your web page grows. In this way, you economize money that you can spend on promoting the site while it is still brand new. Each web space hosting package delivered by 'WebHost-ing.com' contains an online web site builder and more than 40 popular script-driven software applications like WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you 100s of dollars for site design solutions. 'WebHost-ing.com' furnishes shared web hosting packages in a number of different regions across the World. There is one server farm facility in Chicago encompassing the US and Canada; 2 European data centers - in the UK and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia Pacific. That way, almost the whole planet is encompassed to present you and your web page's visitors with a steady and dependable web page hosting solution at a convenient location. On the whole, the shared hosting packages furnished 'WebHost-ing.com' are really well equipped and are available at a budget price (starting from $3.95 for the Starter package).

Semi-dedicated Web Servers

To users with little or no experience, a private virtual web server may seem difficult to manage. That's perhaps why 'WebHost-ing.com' also stores semi-dedicated web servers in its main North American server farm in Chicago. Handling these plans is comparable to managing a typical shared web page hosting package through a site hosting Control Panel interface. They have all the specs of a shared account such as a free-of-charge site builder and a PHP script installer, but the amount of system resources offered by a semi-dedicated server package is many times larger than that of a shared hosting account. For instance, the central processing unit power that can be used is about 5 times as much as compared to the shared web space hosting packages. When matched against a shared web page hosting plan, the number of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is vast: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted Top-Level Domain allowance is a standard as well. The semi-dedicated web hosting packages do not ship with server root access (we, at brassthings.com, deem this a little weakness), but the good point is that they are managed through the very same hosting CP tool as the shared website hosting plans. This indicates that a user-friendly GUI is accessible by all customers who are not confident enough to manage a virtual private web server, but at the same time need more power and reserves than a virtual web server can deliver. This is like that owing to the fact that the semi-dedicated servers share the system resources of the very same powerful cutting edge hosting servers as the ones which accommodate the VPS web server packages, still, the number of the semi-dedicated web hosting servers is quite low (somewhere between twenty to 30 per physical machine), while the VPS servers can reach a much greater number (80 to a hundred and twenty per physical server). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers offered by 'WebHost-ing.com' can be classified as being quite cheap (as far as price is concerned), commencing from $20.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 plan.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

According to brassthings.com, large websites such as social networks, community and business web portals or popular online storefronts with 1000s of clients request a much more powerful hosting solution. It seems that the fellows from 'WebHost-ing.com' have arrived at the same conclusion as well. To meet its users' demands, 'WebHost-ing.com' supplies a collection of dedicated hosting servers that can tackle millions of daily hits. That assessment rests on the hardware specs the dedicated web hosting servers boast: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to 4 gigabytes of RAM, 2000 gigabytes of storage space and Gigabit network interface cards will no doubt ensure the fast and stable performance of any type of site. According to 'WebHost-ing.com', the primary hardware configurations can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding web sites. We, from brassthings.com, believe that all dedicated server specifications supplied by 'WebHost-ing.com' are also suitable for setting up a hosting reseller business as every hosting server provides free-of-cost billing transaction software and a free-of-cost domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated web servers supplied by 'WebHost-ing.com' are all unmanaged. We, at brassthings.com, think that this is a minor minus, which can be rectified by paying a monthly fee which amounts to $32.00 USD. So, if you require help, the Managed Services upgrade includes several extra services such as a routine backup, software installation, server surveillance and troubleshooting operations. A handful of hosting Control Panel (CP) tools are available with each of the web hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (brassthings.com's) prediction is that the amazing point-and-click File Manager offered by the Hepsia web site hosting CP will probably render the use of any File Transfer Protocol software useless. Our (brassthings.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers supplied by 'WebHost-ing.com' don't seem to be very cheap (yet the Hepsia web hosting CP and the unmetered hosted domain name quotas will undoubtedly make you smile), commencing from $40.00 for the Atom 2c plan.
