An evaluation of WebHost-ing.com

We, at 54photos.com, have picked 'WebHost-ing.com' to be our current domain and web hosting provider. Hence we suppose that this short evaluation of 'WebHost-ing.com' is maybe going to be quite helpful for other people from all around the Globe in need of domain name and web hosting solutions. We say people from all around the World, since the mere fact is that 'WebHost-ing.com' presently furnishes domain and hosting services in numerous datacenter sites: in North America (Chicago, IL), in Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, covering 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 brief:

Shared Web Hosting Accounts

The initial thing we, at 54photos.com, have detected is the budget prices of the shared hosting solutions offered 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 page hosting accounts supplied by 'WebHost-ing.com' are driven by a custom created, avant-garde cloud web hosting platform (each web hosting service, such as mail, databases, web page hosting Control Panel, web space, DNS, stats, and so on, is being tackled by a different pack of hosting servers in a cluster). This is something ANY cPanel web hosting distributor in the World will have huge problems with, since cPanel is a one-server based web page hosting environment (each web hosting service, like email, databases, web hosting Control Panel, web space, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being run on a single hosting server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel-based web hosting corporations cannot add extra functionality and manipulate it the way they want it) and there is no open source file platform (they have to concoct their own file system), which is the prerequisite of any cloud web hosting service. Let's get back to the shared webspace hosting plans, which are driven by a genuine clustered web hosting system. With a shared web page hosting plan, each customer pays just for his/her account, thus keeping the site hosting price really low (since many customers are located on one and the same web hosting server). In a few words, a shared hosting plan, which is hosted on a cloud hosting platform, permits you to pay just for the resources that you indeed need, avoiding a situation where you pay for an advanced web page hosting plan that you cannot truly utilize, or for a low-end hosting package that cannot host your web site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with just two clicks of the mouse gives you the flexibility to commence with a basic package and upgrade as your web site grows. Hence, you save capital that you can invest in publicizing the web page while it is still new. Each and every web site hosting package furnished by 'WebHost-ing.com' ships with an online website builder and more than forty popular script software applications such as WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you hundreds of dollars for web site design solutions. 'WebHost-ing.com' distributes shared hosting plans in several different countries around the World. There is one datacenter facility in Chicago covering the USA and Canada; 2 European datacenters - in the United Kingdom and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia-Pacific. That way, practically the entire Earth is covered to present you and your website's visitors with a stable and reliable web page hosting service at a convenient place. On the whole, the shared hosting plans provided 'WebHost-ing.com' are very well furnished and are available at a very inexpensive price (beginning from $4.20 for the Starter package).

Semi-dedicated Servers

To customers with little to no experience, a VPS server may seem difficult to handle. That's probably why 'WebHost-ing.com' also stores semi-dedicated web servers in its principal American data center in Chicago. Managing these plans is similar to managing a normal shared web page hosting plan through a web hosting CP interface. They have all the features of a shared web hosting package such as a free-of-charge site building tool and a script installation tool, but the system resource quota provided by a semi-dedicated server hosting account is many times larger than that of a shared web hosting account. For instance, the central processing unit power that can be used is almost FIVE times as much as compared with the shared web hosting plans. When juxtaposed to a shared package, the number of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is great: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted domain quota is a rule as well. The semi-dedicated web server hosting packages do not offer full root-level access (we, at 54photos.com, consider this a tiny weakness), but the advantage is that they are administered via the very same web site hosting CP interface as the shared web site hosting accounts. This suggests that a user-friendly graphical environment is accessible by all customers who do not feel confident enough to handle a virtual web hosting server, but at the same time require more power and features than a virtual private web hosting server can bestow on them. This is so because of the fact that the semi-dedicated web servers share the resources of the same powerful hyper-advanced web hosting servers as the ones which host the virtual hosting server plans, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated hosting servers is very low (somewhere between twenty to thirty per physical machine), whereas the virtual web servers can reach a much greater number (80 to one hundred and twenty per physical server). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers delivered by 'WebHost-ing.com' can be categorized as being very inexpensive (as far as cost is concerned), starting from $20.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 package.

Dedicated Web Servers

In 54photos.com's opinion, big web sites such as social networks, community and business web portals or popular online stores with 1000s of customers request a much more powerful web site hosting solution. It seems that the chaps from 'WebHost-ing.com' have drawn the same conclusion too. To meet its users' needs, 'WebHost-ing.com' provides a number of dedicated hosting servers that can manage millions of daily hits. That assessment is based on the hardware specs the web hosting servers ship with: many-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, 2000 gigabytes of storage space and Gigabit network interface cards will no doubt ensure the quick and stable performance of any sort of site. According to 'WebHost-ing.com', the primary hardware specs can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding sites. We, from 54photos.com, deem that all dedicated server solutions supplied by 'WebHost-ing.com' are also appropriate for setting up a hosting reseller business as every dedicated web hosting server provides free invoicing transaction software and a free-of-charge domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated hosting servers supplied by 'WebHost-ing.com' are all unmanaged. We, at 54photos.com, think that this is a tiny defect, which can be adjusted by paying a monthly fee of $32.00 USD. So, if you demand support, the Managed Services upgrade offers an array of supplementary services such as a routine backup, software installation, server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. A bunch of web page hosting CP (CP) tools are offered with each of the web hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (54photos.com's) prognosis is that the outstanding drag and drop File Manager added in the Hepsia website hosting CP will probably make the utilization of any FTP client pointless. Our (54photos.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers furnished by 'WebHost-ing.com' don't seem to be very cheap (still the Hepsia web space hosting CP and the unlimited hosted domain quotas will doubtlessly make you smile), beginning from $40.00 for the Atom 2c package.
