An evaluation of WebHost-ing.com

We, at 88ismy.com, have chosen 'WebHost-ing.com' to be our current domain and hosting vendor. This is why we anticipate that this brief assessment of 'WebHost-ing.com' is perchance going to be quite helpful for other individuals from all over the Globe in need of domain name and web hosting solutions. We say individuals from all over the World, since the mere truth is that 'WebHost-ing.com' currently offers domain and hosting services in numerous datacenter locations: in the United States of America (Chicago, IL), in the UK (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, encompassing virtually the whole Earth. At least from the point of view of the World Wide Web. So, here is what you could expect from 'WebHost-ing.com' in a few words:

Shared Web Hosting Accounts

The first thing we, at 88ismy.com, have seen is the cheap prices of the shared website hosting plans delivered by 'WebHost-ing.com'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared web hosting. The good thing here is that the web site hosting accounts delivered by 'WebHost-ing.com' are powered by a custom built, advanced cloud web hosting platform (each hosting service, such as mail, databases, hosting Control Panel, web space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being tackled by a different pack of web hosting servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting supplier in the World will have considerable difficulties with, because cPanel is a one-server based web space hosting environment (each web hosting service, like electronic mail, databases, hosting Control Panel, disk space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being served by one single server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel-based website hosting companies cannot include new functionality and manipulate it the way they want it) and there is no open source file platform (they need to create their own file platform), which is at the bottom of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared site hosting packages, which are driven by a real cloud web page hosting platform. With a shared web space hosting plan, each customer pays only for his/her account, thus preserving the web site hosting price very low (because many users are hosted on the same server). In short, a shared hosting account, which runs on a cloud hosting platform, enables you to pay solely for the resources that you indeed demand, avoiding a scenario where you pay for a high-end site hosting package that you cannot really use, or for a tiny web hosting account that cannot host your web page. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with only two clicks of the mouse gives you the flexibility to start with a low-end package and upgrade as your web presence expands. Hence, you save funds that you can spend on advertising the web site while it is still brand new. Every webspace hosting plan provided by 'WebHost-ing.com' comes with an online website building tool and over forty popular script software platforms including WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you 100s of dollars for web site design services. 'WebHost-ing.com' supplies shared webspace hosting accounts in several different geographical regions around the Globe. There is one server farm in Chicago covering the US and Canada; 2 European server farms - in England and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia-Pacific. Thus, approximately the whole World is encompassed to present you and your web page's visitors with a stable and fast web page hosting solution at a nearby location. On the whole, the shared hosting services offered 'WebHost-ing.com' are quite well furnished and come at a very reasonable price (starting from $4.20 for the Starter package).

Semi-dedicated Hosting Servers

To clients with little to no practice, a virtual web server may seem troublesome to handle. That's probably why 'WebHost-ing.com' also offers semi-dedicated web hosting servers in its main US datacenter facility in Chicago. Administering these plans is similar to handling a typical shared hosting plan through a web site hosting Control Panel tool. They have all the features of a shared web site hosting account such as a free-of-charge website building tool and a web application installation tool, but the amount of system resources offered by a semi-dedicated server package is many times bigger than that of a shared account. For instance, the CPU power that can be used is about 5 times as much as compared with the shared website hosting packages. When juxtaposed to a shared webspace hosting plan, the quota of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is big: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted TLD quota is a norm too. The semi-dedicated hosting plans do not include full root access (we, at 88ismy.com, consider this a tiny downside), but the plus is that they are administered through the same webspace hosting Control Panel user interface as the shared webspace hosting accounts. This suggests that a known GUI is available to all users who are not confident enough to handle a virtual server, yet require more power and reserves than a private virtual web server can provide them with. This is so because the semi-dedicated web hosting servers share the reserves of the very same powerful ultramodern servers as the ones which host the Virtual Private Server hosting plans, however, the number of the semi-dedicated servers is quite low (somewhere between 20 to thirty per physical server), whereas the Virtual Private Servers can reach a much higher number (eighty to 120 per physical server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers delivered by 'WebHost-ing.com' can be dubbed as being very inexpensive (as far as cost is concerned), beginning from $20.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 package.

Dedicated Web Servers

In 88ismy.com's opinion, enormous sites such as social networks, community and business web portals or famous online shops with thousands of clients need a much more powerful website hosting platform. It appears that the folks from 'WebHost-ing.com' have come to the same conclusion as well. To fulfil its users' needs, 'WebHost-ing.com' offers a number of dedicated web hosting servers that can handle millions of daily visits. That estimation is based on the hardware specifications the dedicated web hosting servers arrive with: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to 4 GB of RAM, two thousand GB of disk storage and Gigabit network cards will doubtlessly ensure the fast and steady performance of any sort of site. In 'WebHost-ing.com's opinion, the original hardware specifications can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding sites. We, from 88ismy.com, think that all dedicated server accounts delivered by 'WebHost-ing.com' are also suitable for starting a hosting reseller business as every dedicated hosting server offers free billing software platform and a fee-free domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated hosting servers offered by 'WebHost-ing.com' are all unmanaged. We, at 88ismy.com, count this as a little downside, which can be amended by paying a monthly fee which amounts to $32.00 USD. So, if you need support, the Managed Services upgrade offers a bouquet of additional services such as a regular backup, software installation, dedicated web hosting server monitoring and troubleshooting operations. Several hosting CP (CP) GUIs are available with each of the hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (88ismy.com's) prognosis is that the superb point-and-click File Manager added in the Hepsia webspace hosting Control Panel will probably render the utilization of any File Transfer Protocol software program pointless. Our (88ismy.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers provided by 'WebHost-ing.com' don't seem to be very modestly priced (yet the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and the unmetered hosted domain quotas will beyond doubt make you smile), commencing from $60.00 for the Xeon E3 v3 package.
