An evaluation of HD Web Hosting

We, at quantumcomputing.company, have chosen 'HD Web Hosting' to be our present domain name and hosting distributor. Therefore we think that this short evaluation of 'HD Web Hosting' is probably going to be quite useful for other individuals from all around the Globe in search for domain name and web hosting solutions. We state individuals from all over the World, because the simple truth is that 'HD Web Hosting' presently provides domain and hosting services in multiple server farm locations: in the United States of America (Chicago, IL), in Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, embracing virtually the entire Globe. At least from the point of view of the World Wide Web. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'HD Web Hosting' in short:

Shared Web Space Hosting Accounts

The initial thing we, at quantumcomputing.company, have spotted is the cut-rate prices of the shared web page hosting packages supplied 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 webspace hosting accounts delivered by 'HD Web Hosting' are powered by an in-house devised, innovative cloud web hosting solution (each web hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, website hosting CP, storage space, DNS, statistics, etc., runs on an autonomous host of web hosting servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance EVERY cPanel web hosting company on the Globe will have huge predicaments with, because cPanel is a one single server based web site hosting environment (each web hosting service, such as email, databases, site hosting Control Panel, disk storage, DNS, stats, etc., is being tackled by one and the same server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel web page hosting vendors are unable to add extra functionality and manipulate it the way they want it) and there is no open source file platform (they need to invent their own file system), which is at the bottom of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared webspace hosting plans, which are driven by a real cloud web space hosting system. With a shared hosting package, each client pays solely for his/her account, thus keeping the web hosting price really low (since numerous customers use one and the same web server). In short, a shared hosting plan, which is hosted on a clustered webspace hosting platform, enables you to pay only for the resources that you really need, escaping a situation where you pay for a high-end web site hosting plan that you cannot really use, or for a basic web site hosting plan that cannot host your web site. The option to upgrade your account from one package to another with only 2 clicks grants you the flexibility to kick off with a low-end plan and upgrade as your web presence expands. That way, you save funds that you can invest in advertising the site while it is still brand new. Each web site hosting plan provided by 'HD Web Hosting' comprises an online website builder and more than forty widely used script software platforms like WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you hundreds of dollars for web page design services. 'HD Web Hosting' provides shared web space hosting services in several different geographical regions across the World. There is one server farm in Chicago encompassing the USA and Canada; 2 European data centers - in England and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia Pacific. In this way, almost the entire World is encompassed to provide you and your visitors with a stable and fast web site hosting solution at a preferred location. Altogether, the shared hosting packages supplied 'HD Web Hosting' are quite well equipped and come at a very reasonable price (beginning from $5.00 for the Personal plan).

Semi-dedicated Hosting Servers

To people with little or no practice, a VPS may seem complicated to administer. That's perhaps why 'HD Web Hosting' also hosts semi-dedicated hosting servers in its main US server farm in Chicago. Managing these accounts is comparable to managing a regular shared website hosting plan through a web hosting CP GUI. They have all the functionalities of a shared web space hosting plan such as a free website building tool and a web application installation tool, but the amount of system resources typical of a semi-dedicated web hosting package is many times bigger than that of a shared package. For example, the CPU power that can be used is approximately 5 times as much as compared with the shared web site hosting accounts. When compared to a shared website hosting plan, the quota of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is enormous: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted domain allowance is a rule as well. The semi-dedicated hosting server plans do not include full root-level access (we, at quantumcomputing.company, deem this a minor downside), but the advantage is that they are administered via the same web site hosting CP interface as the shared site hosting plans. This suggests that a well-known graphical interface is offered to all clients who do not have enough confidence to administer a virtual web hosting server, but at the same time are in need of more power and reserves than a private virtual hosting server can give them. This is like that due to the fact that the semi-dedicated web servers share the reserves of the same powerful top-class web hosting servers as the ones which accommodate the VPS web hosting server accounts, however, the number of the semi-dedicated servers is very low (somewhere between twenty to 30 per server), whereas the virtual hosting servers can reach a much higher number (80 to a hundred and twenty per physical server). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers furnished by 'HD Web Hosting' can be dubbed as being amazingly cheap (as far as cost is concerned), beginning from $20.00 for the Budget Semi Dedicated plan.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

In quantumcomputing.company's opinion, enormous sites such as social networks, community and business portals or popular web stores with 1000s of clients need a much more powerful web hosting environment. It seems that the blokes from 'HD Web Hosting' have arrived at the same conclusion as well. To live up to its clients' expectations, 'HD Web Hosting' provides a selection of dedicated hosting servers that can tackle millions of daily visits. That assessment stands on the hardware configurations the hosting servers have: many-core processors, up to 4 gigabytes of RAM, two thousand gigabytes of disk space and Gigabit NICs will undoubtedly ensure the quick and stable performance of any kind of web site. In 'HD Web Hosting's opinion, the primary hardware specifications can be upgraded for more resource-demanding web sites. We, from quantumcomputing.company, deem that all dedicated server packages supplied by 'HD Web Hosting' are also suitable for launching a hosting reseller business as each and every dedicated web hosting server offers free-of-charge invoicing transaction software and a free domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated web hosting servers delivered by 'HD Web Hosting' are all unmanaged. We, at quantumcomputing.company, count this as a small minus, which can be adjusted by paying a monthly fee of $32.00 USD. So, if you are in need of help, the Managed Services upgrade offers a bouquet of extra services such as a regular backup, software installation, dedicated server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. A bunch of site hosting Control Panel (CP) tools are offered with each of the dedicated hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (quantumcomputing.company's) forecast is that the exceptional point-and-click File Manager offered by the Hepsia web page hosting CP will probably render the recourse to any FTP software program useless. Our (quantumcomputing.company's) inference is that the dedicated servers furnished by 'HD Web Hosting' don't seem to be very modestly priced (yet the Hepsia Control Panel and the unlimited hosted domain quotas will no doubt make you smile), beginning from $80.00 for the Xeon E3 v5 plan.
