An assessment of MyGreatHost

We, at lindkart.es, have picked 'MyGreatHost' to be our current domain and hosting distributor. Therefore we expect that this brief assessment of 'MyGreatHost' is perhaps going to be very useful for other individuals from all over the World in need of domain name and web hosting solutions. We say folks from all over the Globe, because the mere truth is that 'MyGreatHost' currently distributes domain and hosting services in several server farm sites: in North America (Chicago, IL), in Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, covering virtually the whole Globe. At least from the point of view of the Internet. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'MyGreatHost' in brief:

Shared Web Hosting Plans

The first detail we, at lindkart.es, have noted is the inexpensive prices of the shared web space hosting accounts provided by 'MyGreatHost'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared hosting. The good news here is that the web hosting plans provided by 'MyGreatHost' are driven by an in-house devised, ultramodern cloud web hosting platform (each web hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, website hosting CP, storage space, DNS, statistics, etc., runs on a different bunch of web hosting servers in a cluster). This is something ANY cPanel web hosting corporation in the World will have big problems with, since cPanel is a single server based website hosting environment (each web hosting service, such as mail, databases, CP, web space, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being served by one and the same hosting server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel site hosting firms 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 devise their own file system), which is at the bottom of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared webspace hosting packages, which are driven by a real clustered website hosting solution. With a shared site hosting account, each client pays only for his/her plan, thus keeping the web hosting price really low (since a lot of clients are located on the same hosting server). In short, a shared hosting package, which runs on a cloud site hosting platform, allows you to pay only for the reserves that you really need, precluding a situation where you pay for a powerful web space hosting account that you cannot really utilize, or for a basic web site hosting account that cannot accommodate your site. The option to upgrade your account from one plan to another with just two clicks of the mouse gives you the flexibility to commence with a tiny plan and upgrade as your Internet presence grows. Thus, you save money that you can spend on promoting the web site while it is still new. Every web hosting plan furnished by 'MyGreatHost' sports an online website builder and more than 40 popular script software platforms including WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you hundreds of dollars for site design services. 'MyGreatHost' offers shared web space hosting plans in several different regions around the Globe. There is one server farm facility in Chicago encompassing the USA and Canada; 2 European server farms - in Great Britain and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia-Pacific region. That way, nearly the entire planet is encompassed to present you and your web page's visitors with a steady and dependable web space hosting service at a desired location. Altogether, the shared hosting services provided 'MyGreatHost' are very well equipped and come at an excellent price (starting from $4.58 for the Economy package).

Semi-dedicated Servers

To customers with little to no practice, a private virtual server may appear hard to manage. That's perhaps why 'MyGreatHost' also keeps semi-dedicated servers in its principal US data center in Chicago. Administering these packages is comparable to managing a regular shared web hosting package through a webspace hosting CP GUI. They have all the features of a shared web hosting package such as a fee-free web site builder and a web app installer, but the amount of system resources typical of a semi-dedicated server hosting account is many times bigger than that of a shared web site hosting account. For instance, the CPU power that can be utilized is almost 5 times as much as compared to the shared webspace hosting accounts. When juxtaposed to a shared hosting plan, the quota of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is enormous: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted domain name allowance is a norm too. The semi-dedicated plans do not arrive with root-level access (we, at lindkart.es, think that this is a slight downside), but the plus is that they are administered via the very same web hosting CP GUI as the shared plans. This implies that a user-friendly graphical user interface is accessible by all customers who do not have enough confidence to handle a VPS, but at the same time need more power and reserves than a VPS server can deliver. This is so because the semi-dedicated web servers share the reserves of the same powerful leading edge web servers as the ones which host the virtual server hosting packages, however, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is quite low (somewhere between 20 to 30 per physical server), while the private virtual web hosting servers can reach a much higher number (eighty to a hundred and twenty per physical server). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers delivered by 'MyGreatHost' can be branded as being quite cheap (as far as price is concerned), starting from $40.00 for the Fast package.

Dedicated Servers

According to lindkart.es, big websites such as social networks, community and corporate portals or famous web storefronts with thousands of customers demand a much more powerful web page hosting solution. It seems that the fellows from 'MyGreatHost' have reached the same conclusion too. To fulfil its clients' requirements, 'MyGreatHost' offers a bouquet of dedicated web servers that can handle millions of daily visits. That evaluation is based on the hardware configurations the dedicated web hosting servers have: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, two thousand GB of disk space and Gigabit network cards will beyond doubt guarantee the quick and stable performance of any sort of website. According to 'MyGreatHost', the original hardware specifications can be upgraded for more resource-demanding websites. We, from lindkart.es, believe that all dedicated server solutions offered by 'MyGreatHost' are also appropriate for establishing a hosting reseller business as each and every dedicated hosting server ships with free-of-cost billing software platform and a free-of-cost domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated hosting servers offered by 'MyGreatHost' are all unmanaged. We, at lindkart.es, count this as a slight disadvantage, which can be adjusted by paying a monthly tax which amounts to $32.00 USD. So, if you require support, the Managed Services upgrade provides a handful of supplementary services such as a regular backup, software installation, dedicated server surveillance and troubleshooting procedures. An array of web page hosting Control Panel (CP) interfaces are offered with each of the dedicated hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (lindkart.es's) prediction is that the impressive drag and drop File Manager added in the Hepsia web site hosting Control Panel will possibly make the use of any FTP software program pointless. Our (lindkart.es's) inference is that the dedicated servers provided by 'MyGreatHost' don't appear to be very cheap (still the Hepsia webspace hosting CP and the unlimited hosted domain quotas will definitely make you smile), commencing from $85.00 for the Xeon E3 v5 plan.
