A survey of Hostadia

We, at edifisium.com, have selected 'Hostadia' to be our current domain name and hosting provider. Hence we expect that this short assessment of 'Hostadia' is probably going to be quite helpful for other folks from all over the Globe who are searching for domain name and web hosting solutions. We state people from all around the Globe, since the mere truth is that 'Hostadia' presently delivers domain and hosting services in multiple server farm locations: in the United States of America (Chicago, IL), in Great Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, encompassing nearly the entire planet. At least from the point of view of the Internet. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Hostadia' in a nutshell:

Shared Website Hosting Solutions

The initial detail we, at edifisium.com, have noted is the cheap prices of the shared web hosting solutions supplied by 'Hostadia'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared web hosting. The good thing here is that the web site hosting accounts provided by 'Hostadia' are driven by an in-house devised, modern cloud web hosting solution (each hosting service, such as mail, databases, website hosting CP, web space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being dealt with by a different stack of web servers in a cluster). This is something EVERY cPanel web hosting supplier on the Globe will have considerable troubles with, because cPanel is a single server based hosting platform (each web hosting service, such as email, databases, web space hosting Control Panel, web space, DNS, statistics, and so on, runs on one and the same hosting server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel-based web site hosting distributors cannot add new functionality and handle it the way they want it) and there is no open source file system (they have to concoct their own file platform), which is at the bottom of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared website hosting plans, which are driven by an actual clustered web page hosting platform. With a shared web hosting plan, each customer pays solely for his/her plan, thus preserving the webspace hosting price amazingly low (because many users are hosted on one and the same web server). In a few words, a shared hosting plan, which runs on a clustered hosting system, enables you to pay only for the reserves that you really need, averting a scenario where you pay for a powerful webspace hosting package that you cannot actually utilize, or for a basic web hosting plan that cannot accommodate your site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one plan to another with just two clicks grants you the flexibility to kick off with a low-end package and upgrade as your website expands. Hence, you spare funds that you can expend on advertising the site while it is still novel. Each and every webspace hosting account delivered by 'Hostadia' arrives with an online site building tool and more than 40 widely used script software applications like WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you hundreds of dollars for web site design solutions. 'Hostadia' furnishes shared website hosting solutions in a number of different countries around the World. There is one datacenter facility in Chicago covering the United States and Canada; two European data centers - in the UK and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia-Pacific. Thus, virtually the entire World is encompassed to present you and your site's visitors with a stable and reliable site hosting service at a convenient location. On the whole, the shared hosting services offered 'Hostadia' are quite well equipped and come at a very attractive price (starting from $6.25 for the Starter plan).

Semi-dedicated Web Servers

To users with little to no practice, a VPS hosting server may seem troublesome to administer. That's perhaps why 'Hostadia' also stores semi-dedicated hosting servers in its principal United States server farm in Chicago. Managing these plans is comparable to managing a typical shared web page hosting package through a web page hosting CP GUI. They have all the specs of a shared web hosting account such as a free-of-charge website building tool and a web application installer, but the amount of system resources typical of a semi-dedicated plan is many times greater than that of a shared site hosting account. For instance, the central processing unit power that can be used is about FIVE times as much as compared with the shared accounts. When compared to a shared webspace hosting package, the quota of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is big: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted top-level domain name quota is a pattern as well. The semi-dedicated server web hosting accounts do not include complete root-level access (we, at edifisium.com, deem this a small disadvantage), but the benefit is that they are administered through the same web page hosting CP interface as the shared accounts. This implies that a user-friendly graphical environment is offered to all customers who are not self-confident enough to manage a private virtual server, but at the same time are in need of more power and supplies than a virtual private hosting server can provide them with. This is like that because the semi-dedicated servers share the reserves of the very same powerful first-rate hosting servers as the ones which host the private virtual hosting server packages, still, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is quite low (somewhere between 20 to 30 per physical server), whereas the virtual private hosting servers can reach a much higher number (eighty to 120 per server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers supplied by 'Hostadia' can be defined as being amazingly inexpensive (as far as cost is concerned), starting from $20.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 package.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

According to edifisium.com, large web pages such as social networks, community and corporate web portals or popular online shops with thousands of customers need a much more powerful webspace hosting platform. It appears that the guys from 'Hostadia' have drawn the same conclusion too. To answer its users' needs, 'Hostadia' supplies a bouquet of dedicated web hosting servers that can cope with millions of daily hits. That estimate is based on the hardware specifications the dedicated web hosting servers have: many-core processors, up to 4 gigabytes of RAM, 2000 gigabytes of disk space and Gigabit network cards will doubtlessly guarantee the fast and stable performance of any kind of website. According to 'Hostadia', the original hardware configurations can be upgraded for more resource-requiring web sites. We, from edifisium.com, consider that all dedicated server packages delivered by 'Hostadia' are also suitable for beginning a hosting reseller business as each and every dedicated server comes with free-of-charge invoicing software platform and a free domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated servers offered by 'Hostadia' are all unmanaged. We, at edifisium.com, deem this a slight problem, which can be rectified by paying a monthly tax which amounts to $32.00 USD. So, if you require support, the Managed Services upgrade provides an assortment of supplementary services such as a regular backup, software installation, dedicated web server monitoring and troubleshooting operations. Several website hosting CP (CP) GUIs are offered with each of the web servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (edifisium.com's) prognosis is that the exceptional drag and drop File Manager added in the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel will probably make the use of any FTP client useless. Our (edifisium.com's) inference is that the dedicated servers delivered by 'Hostadia' don't appear to be very inexpensive (still the Hepsia hosting CP and the unmetered hosted domain quotas will no doubt make you smile), beginning from $80.00 for the Xeon E3 v5 plan.
