An assessment of VB Tech Hosting

We, at ipam.usl.edu.sl, have selected 'VB Tech Hosting' to be our current domain and web hosting distributor. Hence we expect that this brief evaluation of 'VB Tech Hosting' is perchance going to be very helpful for other folks from all around the Globe who need domain name and web hosting services. We say folks from all over the Globe, since the mere truth is that 'VB Tech Hosting' presently delivers domain and hosting services in numerous server farm facility sites: in the US (Chicago, IL), in the United Kingdom (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, encompassing nearly the entire World. At least as far as the Internet is concerned. So, here is what you could expect from 'VB Tech Hosting' in brief:

Shared Web Page Hosting Packages

The first detail we, at ipam.usl.edu.sl, have spotted is the inexpensive prices of the shared web page hosting accounts provided by 'VB Tech Hosting'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared hosting. The good thing here is that the site hosting plans provided by 'VB Tech Hosting' are driven by an in-house built, leading edge cloud web hosting platform (each web hosting service, like electronic mail, databases, hosting Control Panel, data storage, DNS, stats, and so on, runs on an individual host of web servers in a cluster). This is something ANY cPanel web hosting corporation in the World will have mammoth complications with, since cPanel is a one single server based web page hosting environment (each web hosting service, like mail, databases, site hosting CP, disk space, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being run on one single server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel-based web space hosting corporations are unable to add new functionality and manipulate it the way they need it) and there is no open source file platform (they have to set up their own file system), which is at the heart of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared web page hosting plans, which are powered by an authentic clustered webspace hosting solution. With a shared web hosting plan, each customer pays only for his/her package, thus maintaining the site hosting price really low (since a lot of users are located on one and the same hosting server). In short, a shared hosting account, which is hosted on a cloud web site hosting solution, enables you to pay just for the resources that you actually require, refraining from a situation where you pay for an advanced web space hosting account that you cannot actually use, or for a low-end web page hosting package that cannot accommodate your site. The ability to upgrade your account from one plan to another with only 2 mouse clicks gives you the flexibility to start with a tiny plan and upgrade as your web site grows. So, you spare money that you can expend on publicizing the web site while it is still brand new. Each web space hosting account supplied by 'VB Tech Hosting' offers an online website building tool and more than 40 popular script software platforms among them WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you 100s of dollars for website design services. 'VB Tech Hosting' delivers shared web hosting accounts in several different regions around the Globe. There is one data center facility in Chicago encompassing the USA and Canada; 2 European server farms - in England and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia Pacific region. Hence, virtually the entire Earth is encompassed to supply you and your visitors with a steady and dependable web site hosting solution at a preferred place. All in all, the shared hosting accounts delivered 'VB Tech Hosting' are quite well stocked and come at an affordable price (beginning from $4.42 for the Bronze plan).

Semi-dedicated Servers

To people with little or no experience, a virtual private web server may seem hard to manage. That's probably why 'VB Tech Hosting' also hosts semi-dedicated servers in its main American server farm facility in Chicago. Administering these accounts is comparable to administering a conventional shared web hosting account via a web site hosting Control Panel tool. They have all the functionalities of a shared webspace hosting plan such as a fee-free website builder and a PHP script installation tool, but the amount of system resources offered by a semi-dedicated web server package is many times bigger than that of a shared website hosting plan. For instance, the central processing unit power that can be utilized is nearly 5 times as much as compared with the shared site hosting plans. When juxtaposed to a shared webspace hosting account, the quota of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting accounts is big: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted domain allowance is a rule as well. The semi-dedicated packages do not offer root-level access (we, at ipam.usl.edu.sl, regard this as a little defect), but the advantage is that they are administered through the same web space hosting CP interface as the shared accounts. This means that a well-known graphical user interface is accessible by all clients who are not self-confident enough to administer a VPS hosting server, but at the same time need more power and reserves than a private virtual server can offer. This is like that owing to the fact that the semi-dedicated servers share the system resources of the very same powerful ultramodern web hosting servers as the ones which host the private virtual web server accounts, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated hosting servers is quite low (somewhere between twenty to 30 per physical server), whereas the VPSs can reach a much greater number (80 to a hundred and twenty per physical machine). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers delivered by 'VB Tech Hosting' can be categorized as being very affordable (as far as cost is concerned), beginning from $20.00 for the Medium package.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

In ipam.usl.edu.sl's opinion, big websites such as social networks, community and corporate portals or popular web shops with thousands of customers request a much more powerful site hosting platform. It appears that the chaps from 'VB Tech Hosting' have reached the same conclusion as well. To fulfil its clients' needs, 'VB Tech Hosting' supplies a selection of dedicated hosting servers that can handle millions of daily hits. That estimation stands on the hardware specs the hosting servers have: multi-core processors, up to 4 GB of RAM, two thousand GB of web space and Gigabit network cards will doubtlessly ensure the quick and steady performance of any kind of site. According to 'VB Tech Hosting', the original hardware configurations can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding websites. We, from ipam.usl.edu.sl, deem that all dedicated server packages provided by 'VB Tech Hosting' are also appropriate for launching a hosting reseller business as each and every dedicated hosting server ships with free invoice transaction software and a free-of-cost domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated servers supplied by 'VB Tech Hosting' are all unmanaged. We, at ipam.usl.edu.sl, deem this a minor minus, which can be adjusted by paying a monthly tax of $35.00 USD. So, if you need support, the Managed Services upgrade includes a few supplementary services such as a regular backup, software installation, dedicated web server surveillance and troubleshooting operations. Several web page hosting Control Panel (CP) GUIs are available with each of the web servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (ipam.usl.edu.sl's) prognosis is that the exceptional point and click File Manager offered by the Hepsia web site hosting Control Panel will possibly make the use of any FTP client useless. Our (ipam.usl.edu.sl's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers supplied by 'VB Tech Hosting' don't appear to be very cheap (still the Hepsia web site hosting Control Panel and the unmetered hosted domain name allowance will doubtlessly make you smile), beginning from $45.00 for the Earth package.
