A survey of HD Web Hosting

We, at rampallion.com, have selected 'HD Web Hosting' to be our current domain and hosting provider. Hence we believe that this succinct assessment of 'HD Web Hosting' is perchance going to be quite helpful for other folks from all over the World in need of domain name and web hosting services. We say people from all over the World, because the simple truth is that 'HD Web Hosting' currently distributes domain and hosting services in several datacenter sites: in the USA (Chicago, IL), in England (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, embracing practically the whole Globe. At least from the point of view of the Internet. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'HD Web Hosting' in a few words:

Shared Web Hosting Plans

The first detail we, at rampallion.com, have discerned is the budget prices of the shared website hosting packages provided by 'HD Web Hosting'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared hosting. The good thing here is that the hosting plans supplied by 'HD Web Hosting' are powered by a custom developed, advanced cloud web hosting solution (each web hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, site hosting CP, data storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, runs on a different host of hosting servers in a cluster). This is something ANY cPanel web hosting company in the World will have enormous predicaments with, since cPanel is a one single server based web page hosting environment (each hosting service, like email, databases, web hosting Control Panel, storage space, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being run on one single web hosting server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel web site hosting firms are not able to add new functionality and handle it the way they need it) and there is no open source file platform (they must concoct their own file platform), which is the precondition of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared website hosting packages, which are driven by an authentic clustered web space hosting solution. With a shared web site hosting plan, each client pays solely for his/her account, thus keeping the site hosting price really low (because numerous clients utilize the same web hosting server). In brief, a shared hosting package, which runs on a clustered site hosting platform, permits you to pay just for the reserves that you indeed require, refraining from a scenario where you pay for a feature-rich web space hosting account that you cannot really utilize, or for a low-end web hosting plan that cannot shelter your web page. The option to upgrade your account from one package to another with only two clicks of the mouse gives you the flexibility to commence with a tiny package and upgrade as your site expands. Thus, you economize funds that you can invest in advertising the website while it is still novel. Each and every web site hosting plan supplied by 'HD Web Hosting' contains an online site building tool and more than forty popular script software applications such as WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you hundreds of dollars for web site design solutions. 'HD Web Hosting' furnishes shared web page hosting services in several different geographical regions around the Globe. There is one data center facility in Chicago encompassing the United States of America and Canada; two European server farm facilities - in the UK and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia-Pacific. Thus, nearly the entire World is covered to provide you and your site's visitors with a stable and dependable web page hosting service at a nearby place. All in all, the shared hosting plans furnished 'HD Web Hosting' are quite well appointed and come at a very affordable price (beginning from $5.00 for the Personal package).

Semi-dedicated Servers

To clients with little or no practice, a virtual private web hosting server may appear problematic to manage. That's perhaps why 'HD Web Hosting' also keeps semi-dedicated servers in its main US datacenter in Chicago. Handling these accounts is comparable to managing a typical shared webspace hosting account via a web site hosting CP tool. They have all the functionalities of a shared plan such as a free-of-charge website builder and a script installer, but the system resource quota provided by a semi-dedicated server web hosting account is many times larger than that of a shared webspace hosting account. For instance, the CPU power that can be utilized is nearly FIVE times as much as compared to the shared web page hosting plans. When compared to a shared webspace hosting account, the quota of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is great: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted TLD allowance is a rule as well. The semi-dedicated web server plans do not come with complete root access (we, at rampallion.com, deem this a little weakness), but the good point is that they are administered through the very same web hosting CP user interface as the shared packages. This implies that a recognizable GUI is offered to all users who do not feel confident enough to handle a virtual server, yet need more power and resources than a VPS server can offer. This is so because of the fact that the semi-dedicated web servers share the resources of the very same powerful first-class servers as the ones which accommodate the VPS hosting server packages, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is quite low (somewhere between twenty to 30 per physical machine), whereas the virtual hosting servers can reach a much higher number (eighty to one hundred and twenty per server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers furnished by 'HD Web Hosting' can be categorized as being quite cheap (as far as cost is concerned), beginning from $20.00 for the Budget Semi Dedicated package.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

According to rampallion.com, big sites such as social networks, community and corporate web portals or popular web storefronts with thousands of customers request a much more powerful web site hosting platform. It appears that the fellows from 'HD Web Hosting' have drawn the same conclusion as well. To live up to its customers' needs, 'HD Web Hosting' offers a number of dedicated servers that can manage millions of daily visits. That assessment stands on the hardware specs the web hosting servers include: multi-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, 2000 GB of storage space and Gigabit network interface cards will undoubtedly ensure the quick and steady performance of any sort of web site. According to 'HD Web Hosting', the original hardware specs can be upgraded for more resource-requiring web sites. We, from rampallion.com, believe that all dedicated server configurations delivered by 'HD Web Hosting' are also appropriate for establishing a hosting reseller business as each dedicated web server comes with free invoicing software platform and a fee-free domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated hosting servers offered by 'HD Web Hosting' are all unmanaged. We, at rampallion.com, consider this a slight problem, which can be amended by paying a monthly tax which amounts to $32.00 USD. So, if you demand help, the Managed Services upgrade includes a number of extra services such as a routine backup, software installation, hosting server surveillance and troubleshooting operations. An array of web site hosting CP (CP) user interfaces are offered with each of the web servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (rampallion.com's) prediction is that the great drag and drop File Manager added in the Hepsia web space hosting CP will probably make the use of any FTP software program useless. Our (rampallion.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers delivered by 'HD Web Hosting' don't appear to be very low priced (still the Hepsia web space hosting CP and the unlimited hosted domain name quotas will doubtlessly make you smile), starting from $80.00 for the Xeon E3 v5 plan.
