An assessment of ByoHosting

We, at phxhms.com, have chosen 'ByoHosting' to be our present domain and hosting supplier. This is why we presume that this succinct assessment of 'ByoHosting' is perchance going to be very helpful for other folks from all over the World who are looking for domain name and web hosting solutions. We say folks from all around the Globe, since the mere fact is that 'ByoHosting' presently distributes domain and hosting services in several data center facility locations: in the US (Chicago, IL), in the UK (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, encompassing approximately the whole planet. At least from the point of view of the World Wide Web. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'ByoHosting' in short:

Shared Site Hosting Services

The first detail we, at phxhms.com, have perceived is the cheap prices of the shared web page hosting services furnished by 'ByoHosting'. Shared doesn't seem very good, 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 'ByoHosting' are driven by a custom designed, ultramodern cloud web hosting platform (each hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, web site hosting Control Panel, storage space, DNS, stats, and so on, is being run on an independent set of servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting vendor in the World will have mammoth complications with, because cPanel is a single server based hosting platform (each web hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, Control Panel, storage space, DNS, stats, etc., runs on one and the same hosting server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel web page hosting companies are unable to add extra functionality and handle it the way they want it) and there is no open source file system (they need to concoct their own file platform), which is at the heart of any cloud web hosting service. Let's get back to the shared web hosting plans, which are powered by a real cloud webspace hosting platform. With a shared web hosting plan, each client pays only for his/her plan, thus retaining the web space hosting price very low (since multiple clients share one and the same server). In short, a shared hosting plan, which runs on a cloud web space hosting platform, allows you to pay only for the reserves that you really need, averting a scenario where you pay for an advanced hosting account that you cannot actually utilize, or for a small web space hosting account that cannot handle your website. The possibility to upgrade your account from one plan to another with only two clicks of the mouse gives you the flexibility to begin with a low-end package and upgrade as your web page expands. That way, you spare money that you can invest in promoting the website while it is still novel. Each hosting account provided by 'ByoHosting' ships with an online website builder and over forty widely used script software platforms among them WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you hundreds of dollars for web page design services. 'ByoHosting' offers shared hosting services in several different regions around the World. There is one data center facility in Chicago encompassing the United States of America and Canada; 2 European server farm facilities - in Britain and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia Pacific. Hence, almost the whole Globe is encompassed to supply you and your site's visitors with a stable and fast website hosting solution at a desired place. On the whole, the shared hosting plans delivered 'ByoHosting' are quite well equipped and are available at an excellent price (starting from $3.33 for the Starter plan).

Semi-dedicated Web Hosting Servers

To users with little to no experience, a virtual web server may seem complicated to handle. That's perhaps why 'ByoHosting' also hosts semi-dedicated hosting servers in its principal United States data center in Chicago. Handling these accounts is similar to handling a typical shared web site hosting account through a web page hosting CP interface. They have all the functionalities of a shared website hosting plan such as a fee-free website building tool and a web app installation tool, but the amount of system resources provided by a semi-dedicated server hosting account is many times bigger than that of a shared web hosting account. For example, the central processing unit power that can be utilized is nearly FIVE times as much as compared with the shared website hosting plans. When matched against a shared hosting account, the number of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is big: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted Top-Level Domain allowance is a pattern too. The semi-dedicated web hosting plans do not ship with full server root privileges (we, at phxhms.com, deem this a tiny downside), but the benefit is that they are administered through the very same web site hosting Control Panel interface as the shared web space hosting accounts. This hints that a known graphical user interface is offered to all customers who do not have enough self-condifence to administer a virtual hosting server, yet demand more power and features than a virtual hosting server can furnish them with. This is so owing to the fact that the semi-dedicated servers share the resources of the very same powerful avant-garde servers as the ones which accommodate the private virtual server accounts, however, the number of the semi-dedicated web hosting servers is quite low (somewhere between 20 to thirty per server), whereas the virtual servers can reach a much greater number (80 to one hundred and twenty per server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers offered by 'ByoHosting' can be classified as being amazingly inexpensive (as far as cost is concerned), starting from $20.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 package.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

In phxhms.com's opinion, large web pages such as social networks, community and business web portals or popular web stores with 1000s of customers require a much more powerful web page hosting platform. It seems that the guys from 'ByoHosting' have arrived at the same conclusion as well. To satisfy its customers' demands, 'ByoHosting' provides a collection of dedicated hosting servers that can handle millions of daily hits. That estimation rests on the hardware specs the web servers ship with: many-core processors, up to four GB of RAM, 2000 gigabytes of disk storage and Gigabit network cards will beyond doubt ensure the fast and stable work of any kind of site. In 'ByoHosting's opinion, the original hardware configurations can be upgraded for more resource-requiring web sites. We, from phxhms.com, think that all dedicated server specs offered by 'ByoHosting' are also appropriate for initiating a hosting reseller business as every dedicated web server includes free invoicing transaction software platform and a fee-free domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated hosting servers supplied by 'ByoHosting' are all unmanaged. We, at phxhms.com, count this as a tiny downside, which can be corrected by paying a monthly fee which amounts to $32.00 USD. So, if you are in need of assistance, the Managed Services upgrade provides a bunch of supplementary services such as a regular backup, software installation, dedicated web hosting server surveillance and troubleshooting operations. A number of hosting Control Panel (CP) interfaces are available with each of the web hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (phxhms.com's) prognosis is that the magnificent point and click File Manager added in the Hepsia webspace hosting Control Panel will probably make the recourse to any FTP client futile. Our (phxhms.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers offered by 'ByoHosting' don't appear to be very inexpensive (still the Hepsia site hosting Control Panel and the unlimited hosted domain quotas will definitely make you smile), starting from $40.00 for the Atom 2c package.
