An assessment of Hosterati

We, at creatomator.com, have picked 'Hosterati' to be our present domain name and hosting provider. Hence we imagine that this concise assessment of 'Hosterati' is maybe going to be very useful for other individuals from all over the Globe in need of domain name and web hosting solutions. We say people from all around the Globe, because the simple fact is that 'Hosterati' presently supplies domain and hosting services in multiple server farm locations: in North America (Chicago, IL), in the United Kingdom (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). That way, encompassing practically the entire Globe. At least from the point of view of the World Wide Web. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Hosterati' in a few words:

Shared Site Hosting Packages

The first detail we, at creatomator.com, have discerned is the cheap prices of the shared website hosting solutions offered by 'Hosterati'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared web hosting. The good thing here is that the web hosting accounts provided by 'Hosterati' are powered by an in-house developed, ultramodern cloud web hosting platform (each hosting service, like mail, databases, web site hosting Control Panel, disk storage, DNS, stats, and so on, is being handled by a different stack of servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance EVERY cPanel web hosting firm on the Earth will have big problems with, since cPanel is a one single server based website hosting environment (each web hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, hosting Control Panel, storage space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being handled by one and the same web server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel-based web page hosting corporations cannot include extra functionality and handle it the way they want it) and there is no open source file system (they have to set up their own file platform), which is the premise of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared web page hosting packages, which are powered by an authentic cloud web page hosting system. With a shared web hosting plan, each client pays only for his/her account, thus retaining the web space hosting price really low (because lots of clients are hosted on one and the same web server). In a nutshell, a shared hosting account, which runs on a clustered hosting platform, enables you to pay solely for the resources that you indeed demand, refraining from a scenario where you pay for a feature-rich web page hosting plan that you cannot truly utilize, or for a tiny web space hosting account that cannot handle your web site. The ability to upgrade your account from one package to another with just two clicks of the mouse grants you the flexibility to begin with a small package and upgrade as your website expands. Hence, you spare cash that you can invest in advertising the web site while it is still brand new. Each site hosting account delivered by 'Hosterati' arrives with an online website builder and over 40 popular script software applications such as WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you 100s of dollars for web design services. 'Hosterati' furnishes shared site hosting plans in a number of different regions around the Globe. There is one server farm facility in Chicago covering the US and Canada; two European datacenter facilities - in Great Britain and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia Pacific region. Thus, almost the entire World is covered to supply you and your web page's visitors with a steady and dependable web space hosting solution at a preferred place. All in all, the shared hosting solutions delivered 'Hosterati' are very well stocked and are available at an attractive price (starting from $10.42 for the Developer package).

Semi-dedicated Servers

To users with little or no experience, a virtual web server may seem troublesome to manage. That's perhaps why 'Hosterati' also stores semi-dedicated hosting servers in its principal American server farm in Chicago. Managing these accounts is similar to administering a typical shared web hosting account via a web site hosting Control Panel tool. They have all the specs of a shared plan such as a fee-free web site building tool and a web app installation tool, but the amount of system resources provided by a semi-dedicated web hosting server plan is many times bigger than that of a shared site hosting plan. For instance, the central processing unit power that can be used is nearly 5 times as much as compared to the shared website hosting packages. When contrasted with a shared web page hosting plan, the quota of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is vast: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted Top-Level Domain quota is a rule as well. The semi-dedicated hosting plans do not offer complete root access (we, at creatomator.com, regard this as a little disadvantage), but the advantage is that they are administered via the same webspace hosting CP user interface as the shared hosting accounts. This hints that a known graphical environment is offered to all customers who are not self-confident enough to handle a VPS server, but at the same time are in need of more power and system resources than a private virtual web server can furnish them with. This is like that because of the fact that the semi-dedicated web hosting servers share the resources of the very same powerful first-class servers as the ones which accommodate the VPS hosting packages, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated servers is quite low (somewhere between twenty to thirty per physical machine), while the virtual web servers can reach a much higher number (80 to a hundred and twenty per physical machine). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers furnished by 'Hosterati' can be categorized as being quite inexpensive (as far as cost is concerned), starting from $20.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 package.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

According to creatomator.com, enormous websites such as social networks, community and corporate web portals or famous web storefronts with 1000s of clients need a much more powerful hosting environment. It seems that the guys from 'Hosterati' have drawn the same conclusion too. To live up to its users' expectations, 'Hosterati' provides a collection of dedicated web servers that can tackle millions of daily visits. That evaluation rests on the hardware configurations the servers arrive with: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, two thousand gigabytes of data storage and Gigabit network interface cards will beyond doubt guarantee the fast and steady performance of any kind of web site. According to 'Hosterati', the primary hardware specifications can be upgraded for more resource-requiring sites. We, from creatomator.com, consider that all dedicated server configurations furnished by 'Hosterati' are also appropriate for kickstarting a hosting reseller business as each dedicated hosting server comes with free billing transaction software and a free domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated hosting servers offered by 'Hosterati' are all unmanaged. We, at creatomator.com, think of this as a minor minus, which can be corrected by paying a monthly fee of $32.00 USD. So, if you require assistance, the Managed Services upgrade includes an assortment of supplementary services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated web server monitoring and troubleshooting operations. A bouquet of webspace hosting Control Panel (CP) GUIs are available with each of the dedicated web hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (creatomator.com's) prognosis is that the great point-and-click File Manager added in the Hepsia webspace hosting CP will probably make the utilization of any FTP software pointless. Our (creatomator.com's) inference is that the dedicated servers offered by 'Hosterati' don't appear to be very low priced (still the Hepsia web space hosting CP and the unmetered hosted domain name quotas will undoubtedly make you smile), beginning from $80.00 for the Xeon E3 v5 package.
