A review of GreenHosting

We, at psychology.tel, have chosen 'GreenHosting' to be our current domain name and hosting distributor. Therefore we think that this short review of 'GreenHosting' is perchance going to be quite helpful for other folks from all over the World who are looking for domain name and web hosting solutions. We state folks from all over the Globe, because the simple fact is that 'GreenHosting' currently supplies domain and hosting services in numerous data center locations: in the United States (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 Internet. So, here is what you could expect from 'GreenHosting' in a few words:

Shared Web Space Hosting Packages

The first detail we, at psychology.tel, have seen is the affordable prices of the shared hosting packages supplied by 'GreenHosting'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared web hosting. The good thing here is that the website hosting packages furnished by 'GreenHosting' are powered by an in-house devised, modern cloud web hosting solution (each web hosting service, like electronic mail, databases, web hosting CP, storage space, DNS, statistics, and so on, runs on an autonomous set of servers in a cluster). This is something EVERY cPanel web hosting supplier in the World will have colossal complications with, since cPanel is a one-server based web space hosting platform (each web hosting service, like mail, databases, hosting Control Panel, web space, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being tackled by one and the same web server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel webspace hosting distributors are not able to include additional functionality and handle it the way they want it) and there is no open source file system (they must design their own file system), which is the precondition of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared site hosting accounts, which are powered by an actual clustered site hosting platform. With a shared hosting package, each customer pays just for his/her account, thus preserving the web space hosting price amazingly low (because a lot of clients are located on the same web hosting server). In a nutshell, a shared hosting package, which runs on a clustered website hosting solution, enables you to pay just for the reserves that you really need, avoiding a scenario where you pay for a powerful web site hosting package that you cannot truly utilize, or for a tiny web hosting account that cannot shelter your web page. The possibility to upgrade your account from one plan to another with just two clicks of the mouse grants you the flexibility to commence with a basic package and upgrade as your Internet presence grows. Thus, you save money that you can expend on advertising the site while it is still brand new. Each web site hosting package furnished by 'GreenHosting' includes an online site building tool and over forty widely used script-driven software applications including WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you 100s of dollars for web design solutions. 'GreenHosting' offers shared hosting services in a number of different regions around the Globe. There is one server farm in Chicago encompassing the United States of America and Canada; 2 European datacenter facilities - in Great Britain and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia-Pacific region. Thus, nearly the whole World is encompassed to present you and your website's visitors with a stable and fast web space hosting service at a desired place. On the whole, the shared hosting solutions furnished 'GreenHosting' are quite well stocked and come at a very modest price (beginning from $5.17 for the mini plan).

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

In psychology.tel's opinion, enormous web sites such as social networks, community and business portals or popular online stores with 1000s of customers request a much more powerful web site hosting solution. It appears that the chaps from 'GreenHosting' have come to the same conclusion as well. To fulfil its users' demands, 'GreenHosting' supplies a collection of dedicated web servers that can cope with millions of daily hits. That estimation is based on the hardware specifications the web servers boast: many-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, 2000 GB of storage space and Gigabit network cards will beyond doubt ensure the fast and steady work of any sort of website. According to 'GreenHosting', the original hardware configurations can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding web sites. We, from psychology.tel, think that all dedicated server configurations offered by 'GreenHosting' are also appropriate for setting up a hosting reseller business as every web server offers free invoicing transaction software and a free domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated servers offered by 'GreenHosting' are all unmanaged. We, at psychology.tel, think that this is a little inconvenience, which can be rectified by paying a monthly tax of $32.00 USD. So, if you need backing, the Managed Services upgrade provides a selection of supplementary services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated hosting server surveillance and troubleshooting procedures. A number of webspace hosting CP (CP) interfaces are offered with each of the dedicated servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (psychology.tel's) prediction is that the amazing drag-and-drop File Manager included in the Hepsia web page hosting Control Panel will probably render the recourse to any File Transfer Protocol software program futile. Our (psychology.tel's) inference is that the dedicated servers delivered by 'GreenHosting' don't seem to be very affordably priced (yet the Hepsia web space hosting Control Panel and the unmetered hosted domain name quotas will no doubt make you smile), beginning from $145.00 for the Xeon Scalable 8c package.
