A review of Extra Hoster

We, at finance.uaconline.edu.cd, have selected 'Extra Hoster' to be our current domain and web hosting distributor. Therefore we consider that this brief evaluation of 'Extra Hoster' is perhaps going to be very helpful for other people from all around the World in need of domain name and web hosting solutions. We say people from all around the World, since the mere fact is that 'Extra Hoster' presently distributes domain and hosting services in several data center facility locations: in North America (Chicago, IL), in the UK (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, covering approximately the entire World. At least from the point of view of the World Wide Web. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Extra Hoster' in a few words:

Shared Web Space Hosting Solutions

The first detail we, at finance.uaconline.edu.cd, have perceived is the low-cost prices of the shared hosting services provided by 'Extra Hoster'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared hosting. The good thing here is that the web site hosting packages provided by 'Extra Hoster' are driven by a custom designed, advanced cloud web hosting platform (each web hosting service, like mail, databases, web space hosting Control Panel, web space, DNS, stats, etc., is being served by a separate pack of web hosting servers in a cluster). This is something ANY cPanel web hosting firm on the Earth will have mammoth complications with, since cPanel is a one single server based web space hosting platform (each web hosting service, like email, databases, site hosting CP, web space, DNS, stats, etc., runs on one and the same hosting server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel webspace hosting firms cannot add additional functionality and handle it the way they want it) and there is no open source file platform (they have to set up their own file system), which is the foundation of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared web site hosting packages, which are driven by an actual clustered webspace hosting solution. With a shared web space hosting account, each customer pays just for his/her package, thus keeping the web hosting price amazingly low (since lots of users are located on one and the same web server). In brief, a shared hosting package, which runs on a clustered website hosting system, allows you to pay only for the resources that you indeed need, refraining from a scenario where you pay for a high-end site hosting plan that you cannot really utilize, or for a small webspace hosting plan that cannot host your web page. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with only 2 clicks gives you the flexibility to begin with a basic package and upgrade as your web page expands. That way, you economize cash that you can spend on promoting the web page while it is still novel. Each and every webspace hosting plan provided by 'Extra Hoster' contains an online web site builder and over forty widely used script-driven platforms including WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you hundreds of dollars for web design solutions. 'Extra Hoster' supplies shared webspace hosting plans in several different regions around the Globe. There is one datacenter facility in Chicago covering the United States and Canada; 2 European data centers - in Great Britain and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia-Pacific region. That way, practically the whole Earth is covered to provide you and your web page's visitors with a steady and dependable website hosting service at a nearby location. All in all, the shared hosting plans furnished 'Extra Hoster' are quite well stocked and come at a very reasonable price (beginning from $4.42 for the Entry plan).

Semi-dedicated Servers

To people with little or no practice, a VPS hosting server may seem hard to handle. That's probably why 'Extra Hoster' also offers semi-dedicated servers in its principal American data center facility in Chicago. Managing these accounts is comparable to handling a regular shared website hosting package through a webspace hosting CP interface. They have all the features of a shared site hosting account such as a free-of-cost web site building tool and a web application installer, but the system resource quota offered by a semi-dedicated server web hosting account is many times larger than that of a shared web site hosting plan. For instance, the central processing unit power that can be utilized is nearly FIVE times as much as compared to the shared web space hosting accounts. When matched against a shared webspace hosting account, the quota of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting accounts is huge: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted domain name quota is a standard too. The semi-dedicated web hosting packages do not arrive with root privileges (we, at finance.uaconline.edu.cd, think of this as a tiny problem), but the plus is that they are administered through the very same Control Panel GUI as the shared website hosting packages. This hints that a user-friendly graphical interface is offered to all clients who are not confident enough to manage a VPS hosting server, but at the same time need more power and reserves than a virtual private hosting server can deliver. This is so due to the fact that the semi-dedicated hosting servers share the reserves of the very same powerful first-rate web servers as the ones which accommodate the VPS web server hosting plans, still, the number of the semi-dedicated web hosting servers is quite small (somewhere between twenty to 30 per physical server), whereas the private virtual web hosting servers can reach a much higher number (80 to a hundred and twenty per physical server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers furnished by 'Extra Hoster' can be classified as being quite affordable (as far as cost is concerned), commencing from $20.00 for the Semi-dedicated L package.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

According to finance.uaconline.edu.cd, large web pages such as social networks, community and business portals or famous web stores with 1000s of clients require a much more powerful web space hosting platform. It appears that the fellows from 'Extra Hoster' have reached the same conclusion as well. To live up to its users' anticipations, 'Extra Hoster' offers a collection of dedicated hosting servers that can handle millions of daily visits. That evaluation is based on the hardware specs the servers come with: many-core processors, up to 4 gigabytes of RAM, two thousand gigabytes of storage space and Gigabit network cards will undoubtedly ensure the fast and stable performance of any sort of web site. In 'Extra Hoster's opinion, the original hardware specifications can be upgraded for more resource-demanding sites. We, from finance.uaconline.edu.cd, consider that all dedicated server solutions offered by 'Extra Hoster' are also suitable for launching a hosting reseller business as every web server ships with free invoice transaction software platform and a fee-free domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated servers furnished by 'Extra Hoster' are all unmanaged. We, at finance.uaconline.edu.cd, count this as a minor defect, which can be corrected by paying a monthly tax which amounts to $32.00 USD. So, if you need backing, the Managed Services upgrade provides several additional services such as a routine backup, software installation, web hosting server surveillance and troubleshooting procedures. An assortment of website hosting CP (CP) tools are offered with each of the dedicated servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (finance.uaconline.edu.cd's) forecast is that the impressive point and click File Manager added in the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel will possibly render the utilization of any FTP software pointless. Our (finance.uaconline.edu.cd's) inference is that the dedicated servers supplied by 'Extra Hoster' don't seem to be very low priced (yet the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and the unlimited hosted domain quotas will doubtlessly make you smile), starting from $115.00 for the Xeon Scalable 6c package.
