An evaluation of GreenHosting

We, at spooktober.ru, have chosen 'GreenHosting' to be our present domain name and hosting distributor. Hence we believe that this succinct assessment of 'GreenHosting' is perchance going to be quite useful for other folks from all over the Globe who need domain name and web hosting solutions. We say people from all over the World, because the mere truth is that 'GreenHosting' presently furnishes domain and hosting services in numerous data center locations: in North America (Chicago, IL), in the United Kingdom (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). That way, encompassing approximately the entire World. At least as far as the Internet is concerned. So, here is what you could expect from 'GreenHosting' in brief:

Shared Website Hosting Services

The first detail we, at spooktober.ru, have detected is the reasonable prices of the shared web hosting accounts offered by 'GreenHosting'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared hosting. The good thing here is that the site hosting accounts furnished by 'GreenHosting' are driven by a custom developed, leading edge cloud web hosting solution (each hosting service, like mail, databases, website hosting Control Panel, disk space, DNS, stats, etc., is being dealt with by a different stack of servers in a cluster). This is something ANY cPanel web hosting company in the World will have colossal difficulties with, because cPanel is a one-server based web page hosting platform (each hosting service, like mail, databases, website hosting CP, disk space, DNS, statistics, etc., runs on a single server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel-based web page hosting firms are not able to include additional functionality and manipulate it the way they want it) and there is no open source file system (they must set up their own file system), which is the premise of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared web site hosting plans, which are driven by an authentic clustered web space hosting solution. With a shared web hosting plan, each client pays solely for his/her plan, thus keeping the website hosting price very low (since plenty of customers are hosted on one and the same web hosting server). In short, a shared hosting account, which is being served by a cloud hosting platform, permits you to pay just for the reserves that you indeed require, evading a situation where you pay for a feature-rich web hosting account that you cannot truly utilize, or for a low-end hosting package that cannot host your website. The option to upgrade your account from one plan to another with only 2 clicks grants you the flexibility to commence with a low-end plan and upgrade as your online presence expands. That way, you save money that you can expend on advertising the website while it is still novel. Each web space hosting plan offered by 'GreenHosting' offers an online web site builder and over 40 popular script platforms like WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you hundreds of dollars for web page design solutions. 'GreenHosting' supplies shared website hosting services in a number of different regions across the World. There is one server farm in Chicago covering the US and Canada; two European data center facilities - in the UK and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia Pacific. In this way, practically the whole World is covered to provide you and your website's visitors with a stable and dependable web hosting solution at a desired location. On the whole, the shared hosting plans furnished 'GreenHosting' are really well equipped and are available at a low-cost price (starting from $5.17 for the mini package).

Dedicated Servers

In spooktober.ru's opinion, big sites such as social networks, community and corporate portals or famous online shops with thousands of customers call for a much more powerful web space hosting environment. It seems that the guys from 'GreenHosting' have reached the same conclusion as well. To live up to its users' expectations, 'GreenHosting' provides a collection of dedicated servers that can tackle millions of daily visits. That estimate stands on the hardware configurations the hosting servers arrive with: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to 4 gigabytes of RAM, 2000 GB of disk space and Gigabit network cards will definitely guarantee the fast and steady work of any type of website. In 'GreenHosting's opinion, the primary hardware specs can be upgraded for more resource-demanding web sites. We, from spooktober.ru, deem that all dedicated server plans supplied by 'GreenHosting' are also appropriate for beginning a hosting reseller business as each web hosting server offers free-of-charge invoicing software platform and a complimentary domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated hosting servers provided by 'GreenHosting' are all unmanaged. We, at spooktober.ru, think of this as a tiny inconvenience, which can be corrected by paying a monthly tax of $32.00 USD. So, if you require support, the Managed Services upgrade includes a bunch of supplementary services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated server surveillance and troubleshooting procedures. A bunch of web space hosting CP (CP) tools are available with each of the web hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (spooktober.ru's) prediction is that the remarkable point-and-click File Manager available in the Hepsia CP will perhaps make the utilization of any File Transfer Protocol software program useless. Our (spooktober.ru's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers furnished by 'GreenHosting' don't seem to be very inexpensive (yet the Hepsia CP and the unlimited hosted domain name allowance will doubtlessly make you smile), beginning from $145.00 for the Xeon Scalable 8c plan.
