A survey of Smartway Hosting

We, at caerei.com, have selected 'Smartway Hosting' to be our current domain and web hosting vendor. Hence we think that this concise evaluation of 'Smartway Hosting' is perchance going to be very useful for other folks from all around the World who seek domain name and web hosting services. We say people from all around the World, because the simple fact is that 'Smartway Hosting' currently distributes domain and hosting services in numerous datacenter facility sites: in the USA (Chicago, IL), in Great Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). That way, covering almost the whole Earth. At least as far as the Internet is concerned. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Smartway Hosting' in a few words:

Shared Webspace Hosting Services

The initial detail we, at caerei.com, have perceived is the cut-rate prices of the shared web hosting plans provided by 'Smartway Hosting'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared web hosting. The good news here is that the web site hosting plans furnished by 'Smartway Hosting' are powered by a custom created, advanced cloud web hosting platform (each web hosting service, such as mail, databases, Control Panel, web space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being served by a separate stack of web servers in a cluster). This is something EVERY cPanel web hosting provider on the Globe will have enormous complications with, since cPanel is a one-server based web space hosting environment (each hosting service, such as email, databases, web space hosting Control Panel, disk space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being run on a single web hosting server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel-based web space hosting distributors cannot include new functionality and manipulate it the way they need it) and there is no open source file platform (they must design their own file platform), which is the precondition of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared hosting packages, which are powered by a real clustered web page hosting solution. With a shared webspace hosting plan, each client pays solely for his/her account, thus maintaining the website hosting price very low (since lots of users share one and the same web hosting server). In short, a shared hosting account, which is hosted on a clustered site hosting platform, enables you to pay just for the reserves that you indeed require, evading a scenario where you pay for a high-end website hosting plan that you cannot actually utilize, or for a tiny web hosting package that cannot accommodate your site. The ability to upgrade your account from one package to another with only 2 clicks of the mouse gives you the flexibility to start with a basic package and upgrade as your website grows. That way, you save funds that you can invest in advertising the website while it is still new. Every webspace hosting package offered by 'Smartway Hosting' offers an online site builder and more than forty popular script-driven software applications including WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you 100s of dollars for site design services. 'Smartway Hosting' distributes shared web site hosting solutions in several different countries around the World. There is one datacenter facility in Chicago encompassing the USA and Canada; two European server farm facilities - in England and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia-Pacific. In this way, almost the whole Earth is covered to present you and your visitors with a steady and fast website hosting solution at a preferred location. Altogether, the shared hosting plans provided 'Smartway Hosting' are really well stocked and are available at a low-cost price (beginning from $3.50 for the Starter package).

Semi-dedicated Hosting Servers

To clients with little or no experience, a VPS server may seem difficult to manage. That's probably why 'Smartway Hosting' also hosts semi-dedicated web servers in its principal United States datacenter facility in Chicago. Handling these packages is similar to administering a conventional shared package through a web hosting Control Panel GUI. They have all the functionalities of a shared web site hosting plan such as a free site builder and a web app installation tool, but the system resource quota typical of a semi-dedicated server account is many times bigger than that of a shared webspace hosting plan. For example, the CPU power that can be utilized is nearly 5 times as much as compared with the shared hosting plans. When matched against a shared web site hosting account, 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 trend too. The semi-dedicated web hosting server plans do not include root privileges (we, at caerei.com, think that this is a slight drawback), but the plus is that they are managed via the very same web page hosting Control Panel interface as the shared webspace hosting plans. This signifies that a recognizable graphical interface is offered to all users who are not confident enough to administer a virtual private web hosting server, yet require more power and reserves than a VPS server can confer to them. This is so because the semi-dedicated servers share the resources of the very same powerful first-class web servers as the ones which accommodate the private virtual server web hosting accounts, still, the number of the semi-dedicated servers is very small (somewhere between 20 to 30 per physical machine), whereas the virtual private web hosting servers can reach a much greater number (eighty to 120 per server). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers offered by 'Smartway Hosting' can be categorized as being quite affordable (as far as price is concerned), beginning from $20.00 for the Manager package.

Dedicated Web Servers

According to caerei.com, big websites such as social networks, community and corporate web portals or popular online shops with 1000s of clients demand a much more powerful web site hosting solution. It appears that the guys from 'Smartway Hosting' have come to the same conclusion as well. To satisfy its customers' requirements, 'Smartway Hosting' delivers an array of dedicated hosting servers that can cope with millions of daily hits. That evaluation rests on the hardware configurations the dedicated hosting servers have: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to 4 GB of RAM, two thousand gigabytes of disk space and Gigabit NICs will doubtlessly guarantee the quick and stable work of any kind of website. In 'Smartway Hosting's opinion, the primary hardware specifications can be upgraded for more system resource-requiring websites. We, from caerei.com, deem that all dedicated server plans delivered by 'Smartway Hosting' are also appropriate for starting a hosting reseller business as each and every server offers free-of-charge invoicing transaction software and a charge-free domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated hosting servers provided by 'Smartway Hosting' are all unmanaged. We, at caerei.com, think that this is a little problem, which can be righted by paying a monthly tax which amounts to $32.00 USD. So, if you need help, the Managed Services upgrade provides an array of supplementary services such as a regular backup, software installation, hosting server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. A bouquet of web hosting CP (CP) user interfaces are available with each of the dedicated web hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (caerei.com's) prognosis is that the great point-and-click File Manager available in the Hepsia web space hosting Control Panel will possibly make the use of any FTP software program useless. Our (caerei.com's) inference is that the dedicated servers offered by 'Smartway Hosting' don't appear to be very affordably priced (still the Hepsia Control Panel and the unmetered hosted domain quotas will definitely make you smile), beginning from $115.00 for the Xeon Scalable 6c plan.
