An evaluation of WNS Hosting

We, at aftonkuriren.com, have selected 'WNS Hosting' to be our current domain and hosting supplier. This is why we consider that this concise review of 'WNS Hosting' is perhaps going to be quite helpful for other people from all over the Globe who seek domain name and web hosting solutions. We state people from all around the Globe, because the simple truth is that 'WNS Hosting' currently offers domain and hosting services in numerous datacenter facility locations: in America (Chicago, IL), in Great Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). That way, covering approximately the entire planet. At least as far as the Internet is concerned. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'WNS Hosting' in brief:

Shared Webspace Hosting Packages

The initial thing we, at aftonkuriren.com, have observed is the budget prices of the shared web site hosting services supplied by 'WNS Hosting'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared web hosting. The good thing here is that the web hosting packages delivered by 'WNS Hosting' are powered by a custom created, avant-garde cloud web hosting solution (each hosting service, such as email, databases, hosting Control Panel, web space, DNS, statistics, and so on, runs on an autonomous group of hosting servers in a cluster). This is something EVERY cPanel web hosting company on the Earth will have immense problems with, since cPanel is a one-server based webspace hosting platform (each hosting service, such as email, databases, website hosting Control Panel, disk storage, DNS, statistics, etc., is being tackled by one single server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel web site hosting providers are unable to add extra functionality and manipulate it the way they need it) and there is no open source file platform (they must develop their own file system), which is the premise of any cloud web hosting service. Let's get back to the shared web site hosting packages, which are driven by a genuine cloud web page hosting platform. With a shared web page hosting package, each customer pays just for his/her account, thus keeping the web site hosting price amazingly low (since a lot of users use one and the same server). In short, a shared hosting account, which runs on a clustered web page hosting solution, permits you to pay solely for the reserves that you really require, averting a situation where you pay for a powerful hosting package that you cannot truly utilize, or for a tiny site hosting package that cannot shelter your web page. The ability to upgrade your account from one plan to another with only 2 clicks grants you the flexibility to start with a tiny plan and upgrade as your online presence expands. In this way, you save money that you can spend on publicizing the web site while it is still novel. Each web site hosting account offered by 'WNS Hosting' includes an online website building tool and over forty widely used script-driven platforms like WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you hundreds of dollars for web site design services. 'WNS Hosting' offers shared web site hosting services in a number of different countries around the World. There is one datacenter facility in Chicago covering the United States of America and Canada; two European server farm facilities - in Britain and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia-Pacific. Hence, nearly the entire Earth is encompassed to provide you and your web page's visitors with a stable and fast web hosting solution at a convenient location. As a whole, the shared hosting solutions provided 'WNS Hosting' are really well appointed and are available at a low-cost price (beginning from $2.92 for the Tiny plan).

Semi-dedicated Web Servers

To people with little or no experience, a VPS server may appear complicated to administer. That's probably why 'WNS Hosting' also hosts semi-dedicated web hosting servers in its principal American data center in Chicago. Handling these accounts is comparable to handling a typical shared plan through a web space hosting CP user interface. They have all the specs of a shared web site hosting account such as a free-of-charge web site building tool and a web application installation tool, but the amount of system resources offered by a semi-dedicated server hosting package is many times larger than that of a shared site hosting plan. For instance, the CPU power that can be utilized is nearly 5 times as much as compared with the shared website hosting accounts. When matched against a shared web space hosting package, the number of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is enormous: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted TLD allowance is a standard as well. The semi-dedicated web server plans do not ship with complete root-level access (we, at aftonkuriren.com, think of this as a minor disadvantage), but the advantage is that they are managed through the very same hosting Control Panel interface as the shared web site hosting packages. This means that a familiar graphical interface is offered to all clients who do not feel self-confident enough to manage a private virtual web hosting server, but at the same time need more power and system resources than a VPS hosting server can give them. This is so due to the fact that the semi-dedicated servers share the system resources of the same powerful avant-garde hosting servers as the ones which accommodate the VPS accounts, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is quite low (somewhere between 20 to 30 per physical machine), while the private virtual servers can reach a much greater number (eighty to a hundred and twenty per server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers provided by 'WNS Hosting' can be labeled as being amazingly affordable (as far as cost is concerned), commencing from $20.00 for the Fast plan.

Dedicated Web Servers

In aftonkuriren.com's opinion, huge websites such as social networks, community and corporate portals or popular online storefronts with 1000s of clients call for a much more powerful web page hosting solution. It seems that the guys from 'WNS Hosting' have reached the same conclusion as well. To meet its clients' needs, 'WNS Hosting' supplies a bouquet of dedicated servers that can cope with millions of daily hits. That assessment is based on the hardware specifications the hosting servers come with: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to four GB of RAM, two thousand gigabytes of web space and Gigabit network interface cards will undoubtedly guarantee the fast and steady work of any type of site. In 'WNS Hosting's opinion, the original hardware specs can be upgraded for more system resource-requiring websites. We, from aftonkuriren.com, deem that all dedicated server accounts offered by 'WNS Hosting' are also suitable for launching a hosting reseller business as each and every dedicated web server provides free invoicing software platform and a free domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated hosting servers supplied by 'WNS Hosting' are all unmanaged. We, at aftonkuriren.com, think of this as a minor negative point, 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 provides a number of extra services such as a regular backup, software installation, web hosting server surveillance and troubleshooting operations. A selection of web site hosting Control Panel (CP) interfaces are offered with each of the dedicated servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (aftonkuriren.com's) forecast is that the magnificent point-and-click File Manager offered by the Hepsia web page hosting CP will possibly make the use of any FTP software program useless. Our (aftonkuriren.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers supplied by 'WNS Hosting' don't appear to be very affordably priced (yet the Hepsia web page hosting CP and the unmetered hosted domain name quotas will no doubt make you smile), starting from $40.00 for the Puma package.
