An assessment of WebHost-ing.com

We, at torentcall.com, have chosen 'WebHost-ing.com' to be our current domain and hosting vendor. Therefore we believe that this short evaluation of 'WebHost-ing.com' is perchance going to be very useful for other folks from all over the Globe who are looking for domain name and web hosting services. We say folks from all around the Globe, since the mere truth is that 'WebHost-ing.com' currently offers domain and hosting services in numerous data center facility locations: in North America (Chicago, IL), in Great Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, encompassing approximately the whole Earth. At least from the point of view of the Internet. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'WebHost-ing.com' in brief:

Shared Web Hosting Services

The first thing we, at torentcall.com, have noted is the modest prices of the shared web page hosting plans delivered by 'WebHost-ing.com'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared hosting. The good news here is that the web hosting accounts offered by 'WebHost-ing.com' are powered by an in-house developed, state-of-the-art cloud web hosting solution (each web hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, web space hosting Control Panel, storage space, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being dealt with by an individual set of servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting vendor on the Earth will have immense problems with, because cPanel is a one-server based hosting environment (each hosting service, such as email, databases, CP, web space, DNS, stats, etc., is being handled by one single web server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel web page hosting corporations cannot add extra functionality and manipulate it the way they want it) and there is no open source file system (they need to build their own file platform), which is the premise of any cloud web hosting service. Let's get back to the shared web space hosting plans, which are powered by an actual cloud website hosting platform. With a shared site hosting account, each customer pays only for his/her account, thus preserving the site hosting price really low (since many clients are hosted on one and the same server). In a few words, a shared hosting account, which is being served by a cloud web hosting system, enables you to pay only for the reserves that you actually demand, averting a situation where you pay for a powerful web page hosting plan that you cannot actually use, or for a low-end web page hosting plan that cannot host your web site. The ability to upgrade your account from one package to another with just two mouse clicks gives you the flexibility to commence with a tiny plan and upgrade as your website grows. Hence, you save capital that you can spend on advertising the site while it is still new. Each and every site hosting account delivered by 'WebHost-ing.com' contains an online web site builder and more than 40 popular script-driven platforms among them WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you 100s of dollars for site design solutions. 'WebHost-ing.com' distributes shared web page hosting accounts in a number of different countries across the World. There is one datacenter in Chicago covering the United States and Canada; 2 European datacenters - in the United Kingdom and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia Pacific region. That way, practically the whole Earth is covered to supply you and your web site's visitors with a steady and fast webspace hosting service at a preferred location. As a whole, the shared hosting accounts furnished 'WebHost-ing.com' are really well equipped and come at a very good price (beginning from $3.95 for the Starter package).

Semi-dedicated Servers

To people with little or no experience, a VPS server may appear difficult to manage. That's probably why 'WebHost-ing.com' also houses semi-dedicated web servers in its principal North American datacenter facility in Chicago. Handling these plans is similar to handling a regular shared web site hosting package via a site hosting CP tool. They have all the functionalities of a shared web space hosting package such as a free-of-cost web site builder and a web application installer, but the system resource quota offered by a semi-dedicated server hosting plan is many times bigger than that of a shared web space hosting package. For instance, the CPU power that can be utilized is approximately FIVE times as much as compared to the shared web space hosting accounts. When juxtaposed to a shared web space hosting package, the number of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting accounts is huge: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted domain name quota is a standard too. The semi-dedicated web server hosting plans do not come with root-level access (we, at torentcall.com, think of this as a minor minus), but the plus is that they are managed through the same webspace hosting CP interface as the shared packages. This hints that a known graphical environment is offered to all customers who do not have enough confidence to handle a virtual web server, yet are in need of more power and resources than a VPS web hosting server can bestow on them. This is so because the semi-dedicated web servers share the reserves of the very same powerful avant-garde servers as the ones which accommodate the virtual server accounts, however, the number of the semi-dedicated web hosting servers is quite low (somewhere between 20 to thirty per server), while the private virtual web servers can reach a much greater number (eighty to one hundred and twenty per server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers offered by 'WebHost-ing.com' can be labeled as being very cheap (as far as cost is concerned), beginning from $20.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 plan.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

In torentcall.com's opinion, big websites such as social networks, community and corporate portals or popular online stores with 1000s of customers call for a much more powerful web space hosting environment. It appears that the guys from 'WebHost-ing.com' have drawn the same conclusion too. To satisfy its users' demands, 'WebHost-ing.com' provides a number of dedicated servers that can manage millions of daily hits. That evaluation rests on the hardware configurations the dedicated servers have: multi-core processors, up to four GB of RAM, two thousand GB of storage space and Gigabit network interface cards will doubtlessly ensure the quick and steady work of any sort of site. In 'WebHost-ing.com's opinion, the primary hardware specifications can be upgraded for more resource-demanding sites. We, from torentcall.com, think that all dedicated server accounts delivered by 'WebHost-ing.com' are also appropriate for kickstarting a hosting reseller business as every web hosting server offers free-of-charge invoicing transaction software and a cost-free domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated hosting servers provided by 'WebHost-ing.com' are all unmanaged. We, at torentcall.com, count this as a minor minus, which can be adjusted by paying a monthly tax of $32.00 USD. So, if you are in need of backing, the Managed Services upgrade includes an array of additional services such as a regular backup, software installation, web server surveillance and troubleshooting operations. Several webspace hosting CP (CP) tools are available with each of the servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (torentcall.com's) forecast is that the great drag and drop File Manager included in the Hepsia CP will possibly render the use of any File Transfer Protocol client futile. Our (torentcall.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers provided by 'WebHost-ing.com' don't appear to be very cheap (yet the Hepsia CP and the unmetered hosted domain quotas will beyond doubt make you smile), commencing from $40.00 for the Atom 2c package.
