An evaluation of Exclusive Hosting

We, at crystalmedia.biz, have selected 'Exclusive Hosting' to be our present domain name and hosting vendor. Hence we presume that this short assessment of 'Exclusive Hosting' is perhaps going to be very useful for other individuals from all over the World in search for domain name and web hosting services. We state individuals from all over the Globe, since the mere truth is that 'Exclusive Hosting' currently provides domain and hosting services in numerous datacenter facility locations: in the US (Chicago, IL), in the United Kingdom (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, embracing almost the whole Globe. At least as far as the World Wide Web is concerned. So, here is what you could expect from 'Exclusive Hosting' in a few words:

Shared Web Hosting Accounts

The first detail we, at crystalmedia.biz, have observed is the low-cost prices of the shared site hosting accounts furnished by 'Exclusive Hosting'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared web hosting. The good news here is that the web site hosting packages furnished by 'Exclusive Hosting' are powered by a custom created, futuristic cloud web hosting platform (each web hosting service, like mail, databases, site hosting CP, storage space, DNS, stats, and so on, is being run on a different group of web hosting servers in a cluster). This is something EVERY cPanel web hosting provider in the World will have considerable troubles with, because cPanel is a one single server based website hosting environment (each web hosting service, such as mail, databases, web site hosting Control Panel, web space, DNS, stats, etc., is being handled by one and the same web hosting server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel-based web site hosting providers are not able to add additional functionality and manipulate it the way they want it) and there is no open source file system (they have to invent their own file system), which is the prerequisite of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared web hosting accounts, which are powered by a real cloud hosting platform. With a shared web page hosting package, each customer pays just for his/her plan, thus keeping the web site hosting price amazingly low (since many users share one and the same web server). In brief, a shared hosting account, which is hosted on a clustered web page hosting platform, enables you to pay solely for the reserves that you actually require, precluding a situation where you pay for a feature-rich webspace hosting package that you cannot really utilize, or for a small site hosting package that cannot handle your website. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with only two clicks grants you the flexibility to begin with a tiny package and upgrade as your website grows. In this way, you economize capital that you can invest in publicizing the web page while it is still novel. Each and every website hosting account furnished by 'Exclusive Hosting' comes with an online site builder and over 40 widely used script software platforms like WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you 100s of dollars for web page design services. 'Exclusive Hosting' offers shared site hosting services in a number of different regions around the World. There is one datacenter in Chicago covering the United States of America and Canada; two European server farm facilities - in England and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia-Pacific. Hence, nearly the entire planet is covered to present you and your web page's visitors with a stable and reliable web site hosting solution at a nearby location. As a whole, the shared hosting solutions supplied 'Exclusive Hosting' are very well appointed and come at a low-cost price (starting from $2.95 for the Exclusive plan).

Semi-dedicated Web Servers

To users with little to no practice, a VPS web server may seem troublesome to manage. That's perhaps why 'Exclusive Hosting' also stores semi-dedicated web servers in its main North American data center in Chicago. Handling these accounts is similar to handling a normal shared webspace hosting account through a webspace hosting CP tool. They have all the functionalities of a shared web space hosting plan such as a free website building tool and a web app installation tool, but the amount of system resources typical of a semi-dedicated web server plan is many times greater than that of a shared web hosting plan. For example, the central processing unit power that can be utilized is approximately FIVE times as much as compared to the shared web page hosting packages. When compared with a shared plan, the number of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is vast: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted top-level domain name allowance is a norm too. The semi-dedicated server accounts do not include root-level access (we, at crystalmedia.biz, think that this is a tiny problem), but the good point is that they are managed via the same web space hosting CP GUI as the shared webspace hosting accounts. This signifies that a familiar graphical interface is accessible by all clients who do not feel self-confident enough to manage a private virtual web hosting server, but at the same time require more power and reserves than a private virtual hosting server can give them. 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 host the virtual web hosting 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 Private Servers can reach a much higher number (eighty to 120 per physical server). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers supplied by 'Exclusive Hosting' can be labeled as being amazingly affordable (as far as cost is concerned), beginning from $22.00 for the Rocket plan.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

According to crystalmedia.biz, big sites such as social networks, community and corporate web portals or famous online stores with 1000s of clients call for a much more powerful hosting environment. It seems that the guys from 'Exclusive Hosting' have arrived at the same conclusion as well. To satisfy its clients' requirements, 'Exclusive Hosting' supplies a number of dedicated servers that can tackle millions of daily hits. That estimate is based on the hardware specifications the dedicated web hosting servers sport: many-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, two thousand GB of disk space and Gigabit NICs will undoubtedly ensure the quick and stable performance of any kind of site. In 'Exclusive Hosting's opinion, the original hardware specifications can be upgraded for more system resource-requiring web sites. We, from crystalmedia.biz, deem that all dedicated server configurations provided by 'Exclusive Hosting' are also suitable for beginning a hosting reseller business as each dedicated server includes free invoicing transaction software and a charge-free domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated servers furnished by 'Exclusive Hosting' are all unmanaged. We, at crystalmedia.biz, count this as a small drawback, which can be rectified by paying a monthly tax which amounts to $32.00 USD. So, if you need help, the Managed Services upgrade provides a bunch of extra services such as a regular backup, software installation, dedicated hosting server surveillance and troubleshooting operations. An array of webspace hosting Control Panel (CP) GUIs are offered with each of the dedicated web hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (crystalmedia.biz's) prognosis is that the excellent point-and-click File Manager added in the Hepsia website hosting CP will perhaps render the use of any File Transfer Protocol software useless. Our (crystalmedia.biz's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers supplied by 'Exclusive Hosting' don't appear to be very affordably priced (still the Hepsia CP and the unlimited hosted domain quotas will no doubt make you smile), starting from $40.00 for the A1 HDD plan.
