An evaluation of 100WebSpace

We, at converter123.com, have chosen '100WebSpace' to be our current domain and hosting provider. Therefore we anticipate that this concise review of '100WebSpace' is perhaps going to be very useful for other people from all over the World in need of domain name and web hosting solutions. We state folks from all over the World, because the simple fact is that '100WebSpace' currently provides domain and hosting services in numerous data center sites: in the USA (Chicago, IL), in the UK (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 expect from '100WebSpace' in short:

Shared Web Space Hosting Packages

The first thing we, at converter123.com, have seen is the cut-rate prices of the shared site hosting services offered by '100WebSpace'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared hosting. The good news here is that the site hosting accounts delivered by '100WebSpace' are driven by an in-house created, cutting edge cloud web hosting platform (each hosting service, such as email, databases, webspace hosting Control Panel, data storage, DNS, stats, and so on, is being run on a different set of servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance EVERY cPanel web hosting vendor on the Globe will have colossal complications with, because cPanel is a single server based webspace hosting platform (each hosting service, such as email, databases, Control Panel, disk storage, DNS, stats, and so on, is being dealt with by a single server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel-based site hosting firms are not able to include new functionality and handle it the way they need it) and there is no open source file system (they have to design their own file platform), which is the premise of any cloud web hosting service. Let's get back to the shared hosting accounts, which are driven by a genuine clustered web hosting solution. With a shared plan, each customer pays just for his/her account, thus preserving the hosting price really low (since multiple clients are located on the same hosting server). In short, a shared hosting plan, which is being served by a cloud webspace hosting system, allows you to pay just for the resources that you actually need, escaping a scenario where you pay for a high-end web site hosting package that you cannot really utilize, or for a tiny hosting account that cannot accommodate your website. The ability to upgrade your account from one plan to another with just two clicks of the mouse grants you the flexibility to kick off with a low-end plan and upgrade as your web site expands. So, you spare cash that you can invest in advertising the web site while it is still new. Every hosting account offered by '100WebSpace' includes an online web site builder and over forty popular script platforms including WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you hundreds of dollars for web page design solutions. '100WebSpace' supplies shared site hosting plans in a number of different countries around the World. There is one datacenter facility in Chicago encompassing the USA and Canada; 2 European datacenter facilities - in Britain and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia-Pacific region. Hence, almost the whole Globe is encompassed to provide you and your web page's visitors with a steady and fast web site hosting service at a preferred place. On the whole, the shared hosting accounts offered '100WebSpace' are really well stocked and are available at a very inexpensive price (starting from $0.00 for the FREE Hosting package).

Semi-dedicated Hosting Servers

To users with little to no experience, a private virtual hosting server may seem tough to handle. That's perhaps why '100WebSpace' also houses semi-dedicated hosting servers in its main American datacenter in Chicago. Administering these accounts is comparable to administering a typical shared web hosting package through a website hosting CP user interface. They have all the specs of a shared account such as a free website building tool and a script installation tool, but the amount of system resources typical of a semi-dedicated web server hosting plan is many times bigger than that of a shared web page hosting package. For instance, the central processing unit power that can be used is almost 5 times as much as compared with the shared site hosting plans. When juxtaposed to a shared web site hosting package, the quota of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is immense: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted domain name allowance is a norm too. The semi-dedicated web server plans do not come with full root-level access (we, at converter123.com, deem this a tiny drawback), but the advantage is that they are managed via the very same webspace hosting CP GUI as the shared web space hosting plans. This implies that a familiar GUI is offered to all users who are not confident enough to administer a virtual web server, yet need more power and features than a private virtual server can bestow on them. This is like that because of the fact that the semi-dedicated hosting servers share the reserves of the same powerful first-rate web hosting servers as the ones which accommodate the Virtual Private Server web hosting plans, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated servers is quite low (somewhere between twenty to thirty per server), while the virtual private web hosting servers can reach a much greater number (eighty to a hundred and twenty per server). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers supplied by '100WebSpace' can be branded as being quite cheap (as far as cost is concerned), commencing from $55.00 for the Standard package.

Dedicated Web Servers

In converter123.com's opinion, enormous websites such as social networks, community and corporate web portals or famous online stores with thousands of customers call for a much more powerful site hosting environment. It seems that the folks from '100WebSpace' have arrived at the same conclusion too. To meet its users' requirements, '100WebSpace' offers a bouquet of dedicated web servers that can manage millions of daily hits. That estimate stands on the hardware specs the dedicated web hosting servers arrive with: many-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, two thousand gigabytes of web space and Gigabit network cards will definitely guarantee the quick and stable performance of any sort of site. According to '100WebSpace', the original hardware configurations can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding web sites. We, from converter123.com, deem that all dedicated server specs furnished by '100WebSpace' are also suitable for launching a hosting reseller business as each and every dedicated web server offers free billing software platform and a free-of-cost domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated servers delivered by '100WebSpace' are all unmanaged. We, at converter123.com, count this as a tiny minus, which can be righted by paying a monthly tax which amounts to $32.00 USD. So, if you are in need of help, the Managed Services upgrade offers an assortment of extra services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated web hosting server surveillance and troubleshooting operations. An assortment of Control Panel (CP) user interfaces are offered with each of the dedicated web servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (converter123.com's) prognosis is that the magnificent point-and-click File Manager offered by the Hepsia web page hosting Control Panel will probably render the use of any FTP client pointless. Our (converter123.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers provided by '100WebSpace' don't appear to be very affordably priced (still the Hepsia web page hosting Control Panel and the unmetered hosted domain name allowance will beyond doubt make you smile), beginning from $145.00 for the Optimus plan.
