A review of aBitHosting

We, at jfrpl.com, have chosen 'aBitHosting' to be our present domain and hosting distributor. Therefore we imagine that this short review of 'aBitHosting' is perhaps going to be quite useful for other people from all around the World who seek domain name and web hosting solutions. We say folks from all over the Globe, because the simple fact is that 'aBitHosting' presently furnishes domain and hosting services in numerous datacenter facility locations: in the United States (Chicago, IL), in the UK (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, covering nearly the entire Earth. At least from the point of view of the World Wide Web. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'aBitHosting' in a few words:

Shared Web Hosting Packages

The initial detail we, at jfrpl.com, have discerned is the modest prices of the shared hosting plans furnished by 'aBitHosting'. 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 hosting plans supplied by 'aBitHosting' are powered by an in-house invented, modern cloud web hosting platform (each web hosting service, such as mail, databases, web hosting CP, disk space, DNS, stats, etc., is being run on a different pack of servers in a cluster). This is something EVERY cPanel web hosting firm in the World will have big troubles with, because cPanel is a one-server based site hosting environment (each web hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, site hosting Control Panel, disk storage, DNS, stats, etc., is being run on one and the same hosting server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel web page hosting distributors are unable to include new functionality and manipulate it the way they need it) and there is no open source file system (they need to concoct their own file platform), which is the basis of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared hosting packages, which are powered by a genuine clustered web hosting system. With a shared webspace hosting account, each client pays solely for his/her plan, thus preserving the web site hosting price really low (since plenty of clients are located on one and the same server). To cut a long story short, a shared hosting plan, which is being served by a clustered web space hosting system, enables you to pay just for the reserves that you indeed need, averting a situation where you pay for a feature-rich webspace hosting package that you cannot truly utilize, or for a basic site hosting plan that cannot host your website. The option to upgrade your account from one package to another with only two mouse clicks grants you the flexibility to begin with a basic package and upgrade as your website expands. So, you save capital that you can spend on promoting the website while it is still new. Each webspace hosting plan delivered by 'aBitHosting' sports an online web site building tool and more than 40 popular script-driven software platforms among them WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you hundreds of dollars for website design solutions. 'aBitHosting' supplies shared webspace hosting plans in several different countries across the Globe. There is one datacenter facility in Chicago encompassing the United States of America and Canada; 2 European datacenter facilities - in the UK and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia Pacific. That way, approximately the entire World is encompassed to provide you and your website's visitors with a steady and fast site hosting service at a preferred location. All in all, the shared hosting packages delivered 'aBitHosting' are quite well stocked and come at a very inexpensive price (starting from $6.08 for the Starter plan).

Semi-dedicated Servers

To clients with little to no experience, a VPS web hosting server may seem difficult to manage. That's perhaps why 'aBitHosting' also keeps semi-dedicated hosting servers in its principal US datacenter facility in Chicago. Administering these plans is similar to handling a typical shared webspace hosting plan via a web site hosting Control Panel interface. They have all the specs of a shared plan such as a free-of-charge site builder and a PHP script installer, but the system resource quota offered by a semi-dedicated web server hosting package is many times larger than that of a shared site hosting account. For instance, the central processing unit power that can be used is about 5 times as much as compared to the shared website hosting accounts. When contrasted with a shared web page hosting package, the quota of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is huge: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted domain allowance is a trend too. The semi-dedicated hosting server accounts do not come with root access (we, at jfrpl.com, regard this as a little negative point), but the good point is that they are administered through the same hosting CP user interface as the shared web page hosting packages. This means that a recognizable graphical environment is available to all customers who do not have enough self-condifence to manage a virtual private web server, yet need more power and reserves than a virtual private web hosting server can give them. This is so due to the fact that the semi-dedicated servers share the resources of the very same powerful high-class web hosting servers as the ones which accommodate the Virtual Private Server web hosting packages, still, the number of the semi-dedicated web hosting servers is very low (somewhere between 20 to 30 per physical server), while the VPS web hosting servers can reach a much bigger number (80 to a hundred and twenty per physical machine). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers supplied by 'aBitHosting' can be categorized as being amazingly affordable (as far as price is concerned), starting from $20.00 for the Galaxy plan.

Dedicated Servers

In jfrpl.com's opinion, large web sites such as social networks, community and corporate web portals or popular online storefronts with 1000s of customers request a much more powerful site hosting solution. It seems that the guys from 'aBitHosting' have come to the same conclusion too. To live up to its clients' needs, 'aBitHosting' delivers a selection of dedicated web hosting servers that can handle millions of daily visits. That assessment is based on the hardware configurations the dedicated servers boast: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to 4 gigabytes of RAM, 2000 GB of disk space and Gigabit network interface cards will definitely ensure the quick and steady performance of any type of site. According to 'aBitHosting', the primary hardware specifications can be upgraded for more system resource-requiring web sites. We, from jfrpl.com, think that all dedicated server plans furnished by 'aBitHosting' are also suitable for initiating a hosting reseller business as each and every server provides free-of-charge invoice transaction software and a free-of-charge domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated hosting servers furnished by 'aBitHosting' are all unmanaged. We, at jfrpl.com, count this as a tiny problem, which can be righted by paying a monthly fee which amounts to $32.00 USD. So, if you are in need of help, the Managed Services upgrade provides several supplementary services such as a regular backup, software installation, web hosting server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. A bouquet of webspace hosting CP (CP) user interfaces are offered with each of the hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (jfrpl.com's) prediction is that the superb point and click File Manager added in the Hepsia web hosting CP will possibly render the use of any File Transfer Protocol client useless. Our (jfrpl.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers offered by 'aBitHosting' don't appear to be very cheap (still the Hepsia web page hosting Control Panel and the unlimited hosted domain name quotas will doubtlessly make you smile), commencing from $115.00 for the Xeon Scalable 6c plan.
