An evaluation of SecureShells

We, at zafarsami.com, have chosen 'SecureShells' to be our present domain and web hosting supplier. Hence we suppose that this short review of 'SecureShells' is maybe going to be very useful for other folks from all over the World in search for domain name and web hosting solutions. We state individuals from all around the Globe, because the simple truth is that 'SecureShells' presently supplies domain and hosting services in multiple data center locations: in America (Chicago, IL), in the UK (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, encompassing practically the entire World. At least as far as the Internet is concerned. So, here is what you could expect from 'SecureShells' in brief:

Shared Web Hosting Accounts

The initial thing we, at zafarsami.com, have noted is the cut-rate prices of the shared webspace hosting accounts delivered by 'SecureShells'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared web hosting. The good news here is that the website hosting packages delivered by 'SecureShells' are powered by an in-house invented, leading edge cloud web hosting solution (each hosting service, such as mail, databases, web site hosting CP, disk space, DNS, stats, and so on, is being handled by an autonomous set of hosting servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting provider on the Globe will have enormous complications with, since cPanel is a one single server based website hosting platform (each hosting service, like email, databases, website hosting Control Panel, data storage, DNS, statistics, etc., is being tackled by one and the same web hosting server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel-based webspace hosting distributors are unable to add additional functionality and handle it the way they need it) and there is no open source file platform (they have to devise their own file platform), which is the precondition of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared web site hosting packages, which are powered by an authentic cloud hosting system. With a shared webspace hosting package, each client pays just for his/her plan, thus keeping the website hosting price really low (because lots of users utilize one and the same web server). To cut a long story short, a shared hosting account, which runs on a clustered webspace hosting system, permits you to pay only for the reserves that you indeed demand, evading a situation where you pay for a powerful web page hosting plan that you cannot actually use, or for a tiny web space hosting plan that cannot host your web site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one plan to another with only two mouse clicks gives you the flexibility to start with a low-end package and upgrade as your site grows. That way, you save cash that you can spend on promoting the web site while it is still novel. Each web page hosting package offered by 'SecureShells' comprises an online web site building tool and over forty popular script-driven platforms including WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you hundreds of dollars for web site design services. 'SecureShells' distributes shared site hosting packages in several different countries around the World. There is one datacenter facility in Chicago covering the United States of America and Canada; 2 European data centers - in the United Kingdom and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia-Pacific. Thus, nearly the entire Earth is covered to provide you and your web site's visitors with a stable and fast web site hosting solution at a desired place. All in all, the shared hosting plans provided 'SecureShells' are really well equipped and come at a very low price (beginning from $3.00 for the Economy plan).

Semi-dedicated Web Hosting Servers

To people with little or no experience, a private virtual web hosting server may appear difficult to manage. That's probably why 'SecureShells' also houses semi-dedicated web hosting servers in its principal North American datacenter in Chicago. Handling these accounts is similar to managing a conventional shared webspace hosting package via a Control Panel user interface. They have all the specs of a shared web site hosting package such as a free website building tool and a web application installer, but the amount of system resources typical of a semi-dedicated hosting plan is many times bigger than that of a shared web site hosting account. For example, the central processing unit power that can be utilized is almost FIVE times as much as compared to the shared plans. When compared with a shared web page hosting plan, the number of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting accounts is immense: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted domain name quota is a rule too. The semi-dedicated accounts do not include full root access (we, at zafarsami.com, regard this as a little disadvantage), but the plus is that they are administered through the very same CP interface as the shared hosting plans. This goes to say that a known graphical user interface is offered to all users who do not have enough confidence to handle a virtual private hosting server, yet are in need of more power and system resources than a private virtual server can confer to them. This is so because the semi-dedicated web hosting servers share the reserves of the same powerful ultramodern web servers as the ones which host the virtual hosting server accounts, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated servers is very small (somewhere between 20 to thirty per physical machine), while the virtual web hosting servers can reach a much greater number (80 to one hundred and twenty per server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers furnished by 'SecureShells' can be defined as being amazingly affordable (as far as cost is concerned), commencing from $20.00 for the Mercury plan.

Dedicated Servers

According to zafarsami.com, huge web sites such as social networks, community and business web portals or popular web shops with 1000s of customers demand a much more powerful hosting environment. It appears that the chaps from 'SecureShells' have arrived at the same conclusion too. To satisfy its customers' needs, 'SecureShells' supplies an assortment of dedicated web hosting servers that can handle millions of daily visits. That estimate stands on the hardware configurations the dedicated hosting servers sport: multi-core processors, up to 4 GB of RAM, two thousand GB of disk storage and Gigabit network interface cards will doubtlessly ensure the quick and steady performance of any sort of website. In 'SecureShells's opinion, the original hardware specs can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding websites. We, from zafarsami.com, believe that all dedicated server solutions delivered by 'SecureShells' are also appropriate for launching a hosting reseller business as each and every dedicated hosting server includes free-of-cost billing software and a free domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated servers furnished by 'SecureShells' are all unmanaged. We, at zafarsami.com, deem this a little inconvenience, which can be rectified by paying a monthly tax which amounts to $32.00 USD. So, if you are in need of support, the Managed Services upgrade includes various supplementary services such as a regular backup, software installation, dedicated hosting server monitoring and troubleshooting operations. A handful of web page hosting Control Panel (CP) user interfaces are available with each of the dedicated web hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (zafarsami.com's) prognosis is that the magnificent point-and-click File Manager added in the Hepsia Control Panel will perhaps make the use of any File Transfer Protocol software useless. Our (zafarsami.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers delivered by 'SecureShells' don't seem to be very inexpensive (yet the Hepsia site hosting CP and the unmetered hosted domain name allowance will beyond doubt make you smile), beginning from $115.00 for the Xeon Scalable 6c package.
