An assessment of Hamilton Hosting

We, at cosmicsuccess.com, have chosen 'Hamilton Hosting' to be our present domain and hosting distributor. Hence we imagine that this brief evaluation of 'Hamilton Hosting' is perhaps going to be very useful for other people from all around the World who need domain name and web hosting solutions. We say individuals from all over the Globe, because the simple fact is that 'Hamilton Hosting' currently furnishes domain and hosting services in numerous server farm sites: in America (Chicago, IL), in the UK (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). That way, covering approximately the whole Globe. At least as far as the Internet is concerned. So, here is what you could expect from 'Hamilton Hosting' in a few words:

Shared Webspace Hosting Services

The initial detail we, at cosmicsuccess.com, have spotted is the budget prices of the shared hosting services supplied by 'Hamilton Hosting'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared hosting. The good news here is that the site hosting plans furnished by 'Hamilton Hosting' are powered by a custom devised, leading edge cloud web hosting platform (each hosting service, such as mail, databases, webspace hosting CP, web space, DNS, stats, and so on, is being handled by an individual set of hosting servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance EVERY cPanel web hosting vendor on the Globe will have mammoth troubles with, because cPanel is a single server based web site hosting platform (each web hosting service, such as email, databases, web space hosting Control Panel, data storage, DNS, statistics, etc., is being dealt with by one single server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel hosting companies cannot include new functionality and handle it the way they want it) and there is no open source file platform (they must concoct their own file platform), which is at the bottom of any cloud web hosting service. Let's get back to the shared website hosting plans, which are driven by an actual clustered web page hosting platform. With a shared website hosting account, each client pays solely for his/her account, thus keeping the web space hosting price very low (since multiple users utilize one and the same web hosting server). In a few words, a shared hosting account, which is being served by a clustered web page hosting solution, permits you to pay only for the reserves that you indeed require, averting a scenario where you pay for a powerful hosting package that you cannot truly use, or for a basic website hosting package that cannot shelter your site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one plan to another with just 2 clicks grants you the flexibility to commence with a tiny plan and upgrade as your website expands. That way, you spare cash that you can expend on advertising the website while it is still brand new. Every web space hosting plan supplied by 'Hamilton Hosting' includes an online website builder and more than 40 widely used script platforms such as WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you hundreds of dollars for web page design services. 'Hamilton Hosting' distributes shared web space hosting services in several different regions across the World. There is one data center in Chicago covering the United States of America and Canada; 2 European data centers - in the United Kingdom and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia Pacific. That way, practically the entire planet is encompassed to present you and your web site's visitors with a stable and reliable web page hosting solution at a preferred location. All in all, the shared hosting solutions furnished 'Hamilton Hosting' are really well furnished and are available at a very reasonable price (starting from $6.95 for the Express package).

Semi-dedicated Web Hosting Servers

To users with little or no practice, a virtual private web hosting server may appear problematic to handle. That's perhaps why 'Hamilton Hosting' also houses semi-dedicated hosting servers in its main US server farm in Chicago. Handling these plans is comparable to administering a typical shared site hosting package through a web page hosting CP tool. They have all the specs of a shared hosting package such as a free-of-charge web site builder and a web application installer, but the amount of system resources typical of a semi-dedicated account is many times greater than that of a shared site hosting package. For instance, the central processing unit power that can be used is approximately 5 times as much as compared to the shared web space hosting plans. When compared to a shared website hosting account, the number of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting accounts is big: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted TLD allowance is a trend as well. The semi-dedicated web hosting server plans do not arrive with complete server root access (we, at cosmicsuccess.com, think that this is a minor problem), but the benefit is that they are administered through the same website hosting Control Panel interface as the shared plans. This means that a well-known graphical user interface is offered to all users who do not have enough self-condifence to administer a virtual private hosting server, yet need more power and system resources than a VPS hosting server can deliver. This is so because of the fact that the semi-dedicated servers share the reserves of the very same powerful hyper-advanced hosting servers as the ones which accommodate the Virtual Private Server web hosting packages, however, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is quite small (somewhere between twenty to 30 per physical server), while the virtual private hosting servers can reach a much greater number (eighty to one hundred and twenty per server). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers furnished by 'Hamilton Hosting' can be defined as being amazingly inexpensive (as far as cost is concerned), beginning from $25.00 for the Mini plan.

Dedicated Servers

In cosmicsuccess.com's opinion, big web pages such as social networks, community and business portals or popular web storefronts with thousands of customers need a much more powerful hosting solution. It seems that the blokes from 'Hamilton Hosting' have drawn the same conclusion as well. To live up to its customers' needs, 'Hamilton Hosting' provides a number of dedicated web servers that can manage millions of daily hits. That assessment is based on the hardware specifications the dedicated web hosting servers include: many-core processors, up to four GB of RAM, two thousand GB of storage space and Gigabit network cards will beyond doubt ensure the quick and stable work of any kind of website. In 'Hamilton Hosting's opinion, the original hardware configurations can be upgraded for more resource-demanding sites. We, from cosmicsuccess.com, believe that all dedicated server accounts delivered by 'Hamilton Hosting' are also appropriate for launching a hosting reseller business as every web server ships with free-of-cost invoice transaction software platform and a charge-free domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated web hosting servers provided by 'Hamilton Hosting' are all unmanaged. We, at cosmicsuccess.com, consider this a little defect, which can be righted by paying a monthly tax which amounts to $32.00 USD. So, if you are in need of support, the Managed Services upgrade provides a bouquet of extra services such as a regular backup, software installation, dedicated hosting server surveillance and troubleshooting operations. A number of hosting CP (CP) tools are offered with each of the web hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (cosmicsuccess.com's) prediction is that the amazing point-and-click File Manager added in the Hepsia web hosting CP will probably make the utilization of any FTP client useless. Our (cosmicsuccess.com's) inference is that the dedicated servers offered by 'Hamilton Hosting' don't seem to be very inexpensive (yet the Hepsia web page hosting Control Panel and the unlimited hosted domain name allowance will beyond doubt make you smile), commencing from $45.00 for the Atom 2c plan.
