A review of MD-Dot Webhosting

We, at rawlingsmuseumandarchives.org, have selected 'MD-Dot Webhosting' to be our current domain name and hosting vendor. Therefore we think that this brief assessment of 'MD-Dot Webhosting' is probably going to be quite useful for other individuals from all around the Globe who are searching for domain name and web hosting solutions. We say people from all around the Globe, because the mere truth is that 'MD-Dot Webhosting' presently offers domain and hosting services in several data center sites: in the US (Chicago, IL), in the United Kingdom (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, covering nearly the entire Globe. At least from the point of view of the Internet. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'MD-Dot Webhosting' in a few words:

Shared Hosting Packages

The first thing we, at rawlingsmuseumandarchives.org, have spotted is the cheap prices of the shared hosting accounts offered by 'MD-Dot Webhosting'. 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 space hosting packages offered by 'MD-Dot Webhosting' are powered by an in-house invented, innovative cloud web hosting platform (each hosting service, such as mail, databases, web page hosting Control Panel, disk space, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being run on an individual host of web servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting company on the Globe will have considerable problems with, because cPanel is a single server based web site hosting platform (each web hosting service, such as mail, databases, web space hosting Control Panel, web space, DNS, stats, etc., is being dealt with by one and the same hosting server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel-based web hosting providers cannot include extra functionality and handle it the way they need it) and there is no open source file platform (they must build their own file platform), which is at the bottom of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared webspace hosting packages, which are powered by a genuine cloud web hosting solution. With a shared webspace hosting plan, each client pays only for his/her plan, thus retaining the hosting price very low (because numerous users utilize one and the same hosting server). In a nutshell, a shared hosting account, which is hosted on a cloud hosting system, permits you to pay only for the reserves that you really demand, escaping a scenario where you pay for a high-end web page hosting package that you cannot truly utilize, or for a low-end hosting package that cannot handle your site. The option to upgrade your account from one plan to another with only 2 clicks of the mouse gives you the flexibility to commence with a small plan and upgrade as your site grows. Thus, you save capital that you can invest in promoting the website while it is still novel. Each and every web page hosting account provided by 'MD-Dot Webhosting' comprises an online website builder and more than forty widely used script platforms among them WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you 100s of dollars for site design services. 'MD-Dot Webhosting' offers shared web space hosting packages in a number of different geographical regions around the World. There is one datacenter facility in Chicago covering the US and Canada; 2 European datacenter facilities - in England and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia-Pacific region. In this way, nearly the entire planet is covered to provide you and your visitors with a steady and fast webspace hosting service at a nearby place. As a whole, the shared hosting solutions delivered 'MD-Dot Webhosting' are quite well stocked and come at a good price (beginning from $3.25 for the Starter plan).

Semi-dedicated Web Servers

To people with little to no practice, a virtual web server may seem hard to handle. That's probably why 'MD-Dot Webhosting' also houses semi-dedicated hosting servers in its principal American data center facility in Chicago. Administering these plans is similar to administering a conventional shared webspace hosting account through a web page hosting Control Panel interface. They have all the specs of a shared webspace hosting account such as a free-of-charge web site building tool and a web application installation tool, but the system resource quota offered by a semi-dedicated web hosting package is many times greater than that of a shared hosting plan. For instance, the central processing unit power that can be used is about FIVE times as much as compared with the shared webspace hosting plans. When matched against a shared web page hosting account, the number of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting accounts is big: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted domain name allowance is a pattern as well. The semi-dedicated web hosting server packages do not include root-level access (we, at rawlingsmuseumandarchives.org, deem this a small disadvantage), but the plus is that they are managed via the very same website hosting Control Panel interface as the shared website hosting accounts. This goes to say that a user-friendly graphical user interface is accessible by all customers who do not have enough confidence to handle a private virtual server, yet are in need of more power and supplies than a virtual private web server can furnish them with. This is so because of the fact that the semi-dedicated web hosting servers share the reserves of the same powerful leading edge hosting servers as the ones which host the virtual server web hosting accounts, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is quite small (somewhere between 20 to 30 per physical machine), while the VPS web hosting 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 provided by 'MD-Dot Webhosting' can be dubbed as being very cheap (as far as cost is concerned), starting from $20.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 plan.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

According to rawlingsmuseumandarchives.org, large sites such as social networks, community and business web portals or famous web stores with thousands of clients need a much more powerful web site hosting platform. It appears that the folks from 'MD-Dot Webhosting' have come to the same conclusion as well. To answer its clients' needs, 'MD-Dot Webhosting' supplies a bouquet of dedicated hosting servers that can manage millions of daily hits. That estimation rests on the hardware specifications the web servers sport: many-core processors, up to 4 gigabytes of RAM, two thousand gigabytes of web space and Gigabit NICs will no doubt ensure the quick and stable performance of any type of website. According to 'MD-Dot Webhosting', the original hardware specifications can be upgraded for more resource-requiring websites. We, from rawlingsmuseumandarchives.org, think that all dedicated server accounts delivered by 'MD-Dot Webhosting' are also suitable for setting up a hosting reseller business as each and every hosting server arrives with free-of-cost invoice transaction software and a free domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated hosting servers supplied by 'MD-Dot Webhosting' are all unmanaged. We, at rawlingsmuseumandarchives.org, consider this a minor problem, which can be amended by paying a monthly tax of $32.00 USD. So, if you need support, the Managed Services upgrade provides an assortment of supplementary services such as a routine backup, software installation, web hosting server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. A bouquet of hosting Control Panel (CP) GUIs are available with each of the web servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (rawlingsmuseumandarchives.org's) prediction is that the splendid drag and drop File Manager offered by the Hepsia website hosting CP will perhaps render the use of any FTP software program pointless. Our (rawlingsmuseumandarchives.org's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers provided by 'MD-Dot Webhosting' don't seem to be very affordably priced (yet the Hepsia web site hosting Control Panel and the unmetered hosted domain name quotas will no doubt make you smile), beginning from $115.00 for the Xeon Scalable 6c plan.
