A survey of I'mHosting

We, at altoshotel.asia, have chosen 'I'mHosting' to be our current domain name and web hosting vendor. This is why we think that this concise evaluation of 'I'mHosting' is maybe going to be very helpful for other people from all around the World who seek domain name and web hosting solutions. We state individuals from all over the World, since the mere fact is that 'I'mHosting' currently offers domain and hosting services in multiple server farm facility locations: in the United States of America (Chicago, IL), in Great Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, covering nearly the whole planet. At least as far as the Internet is concerned. So, here is what you could expect from 'I'mHosting' in short:

Shared Web Hosting Solutions

The first thing we, at altoshotel.asia, have noted is the reasonable prices of the shared web hosting solutions provided by 'I'mHosting'. 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 web space hosting packages provided by 'I'mHosting' are driven by an in-house invented, advanced cloud web hosting solution (each web hosting service, such as email, databases, webspace hosting Control Panel, disk storage, DNS, stats, etc., is being served by a different stack of servers in a cluster). This is something ANY cPanel web hosting distributor on the Earth will have great difficulties with, since cPanel is a single server based hosting environment (each hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, website hosting CP, disk storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being served by a single web hosting server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel-based web hosting suppliers are unable to include additional functionality and handle 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 basis of any cloud web hosting service. Let's get back to the shared web space hosting packages, which are powered by a genuine cloud web hosting platform. With a shared web site hosting account, each customer pays solely for his/her plan, thus retaining the price really low (because lots of customers are located on one and the same hosting server). To cut a long story short, a shared hosting package, which is being served by a clustered web hosting system, enables you to pay solely for the reserves that you really demand, avoiding a scenario where you pay for an advanced website hosting plan that you cannot actually use, or for a basic website hosting account that cannot accommodate your web page. The possibility to upgrade your account from one plan to another with only 2 clicks of the mouse gives you the flexibility to begin with a small plan and upgrade as your web site grows. Hence, you economize money that you can expend on promoting the website while it is still novel. Every web site hosting package supplied by 'I'mHosting' arrives with an online web site builder and more than 40 widely used script-driven platforms including WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you 100s of dollars for website design solutions. 'I'mHosting' delivers shared web space hosting plans in several different countries across the World. There is one data center facility in Chicago covering the US and Canada; 2 European datacenter facilities - in the United Kingdom and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia Pacific. That way, nearly the entire planet is encompassed to supply you and your web site's visitors with a steady and dependable web page hosting solution at a convenient place. All in all, the shared hosting plans supplied 'I'mHosting' are quite well stocked and come at a very attractive price (starting from $5.67 for the Starter package).

Semi-dedicated Web Hosting Servers

To people with little or no practice, a Virtual Private Server may appear hard to manage. That's perhaps why 'I'mHosting' also houses semi-dedicated servers in its main US data center facility in Chicago. Managing these packages is comparable to administering a regular shared web hosting account through a web hosting Control Panel interface. They have all the features of a shared web site hosting account such as a free website builder and a web application installer, but the amount of system resources offered by a semi-dedicated server package is many times greater than that of a shared web space hosting account. For example, the central processing unit power that can be used is about 5 times as much as compared to the shared website hosting packages. When compared to a shared web page hosting package, the number of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting accounts is vast: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted top-level domain name quota is a pattern as well. The semi-dedicated plans do not arrive with complete server root access (we, at altoshotel.asia, think that this is a slight defect), but the advantage is that they are administered through the very same Control Panel user interface as the shared hosting plans. This hints that a well-known graphical environment is accessible by all users who do not feel self-confident enough to handle a virtual web hosting server, but at the same time are in need of more power and features than a private virtual server can confer to them. This is so because the semi-dedicated servers share the system resources of the very same powerful first-class hosting servers as the ones which accommodate the VPS server packages, however, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is very low (somewhere between twenty to thirty per server), while the virtual private web servers can reach a much greater number (eighty to one hundred and twenty per physical machine). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers supplied by 'I'mHosting' can be classified as being amazingly affordable (as far as price is concerned), beginning from $20.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 package.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

According to altoshotel.asia, huge sites such as social networks, community and business portals or popular online storefronts with thousands of clients require a much more powerful web space hosting platform. It seems that the folks from 'I'mHosting' have reached the same conclusion too. To live up to its customers' anticipations, 'I'mHosting' supplies a bouquet of dedicated servers that can cope with millions of daily hits. That estimation stands on the hardware configurations the web hosting servers come with: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to 4 GB of RAM, two thousand GB of data storage and Gigabit NICs will no doubt guarantee the quick and stable work of any sort of site. In 'I'mHosting's opinion, the primary hardware specifications can be upgraded for more resource-demanding sites. We, from altoshotel.asia, consider that all dedicated server plans furnished by 'I'mHosting' are also suitable for kickstarting a hosting reseller business as every hosting server arrives with free-of-charge billing software platform and a cost-free domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated web hosting servers delivered by 'I'mHosting' are all unmanaged. We, at altoshotel.asia, count this as a little downside, which can be adjusted by paying a monthly fee of $32.00 USD. So, if you require aid, the Managed Services upgrade offers a handful of supplementary services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated web hosting server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. An assortment of web hosting Control Panel (CP) tools are offered with each of the web servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (altoshotel.asia's) prediction is that the excellent point-and-click File Manager included in the Hepsia web page hosting CP will perhaps make the utilization of any File Transfer Protocol software program pointless. Our (altoshotel.asia's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers furnished by 'I'mHosting' don't appear to be very affordably priced (still the Hepsia web page hosting CP and the unlimited hosted domain name quotas will undoubtedly make you smile), commencing from $115.00 for the Xeon Scalable 6c plan.
