A review of NTC Hosting

We, at baranov.biz, have picked 'NTC Hosting' to be our present domain and web hosting provider. Hence we suppose that this brief evaluation of 'NTC Hosting' is perchance going to be very helpful for other people from all around the Globe who are searching for domain name and web hosting solutions. We say people from all around the Globe, since the mere truth is that 'NTC Hosting' presently furnishes domain and hosting services in several server farm sites: in North America (Chicago, IL), in Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, covering nearly the whole planet. At least as far as the World Wide Web is concerned. So, here is what you could expect from 'NTC Hosting' in short:

Shared Webspace Hosting Solutions

The initial detail we, at baranov.biz, have detected is the inexpensive prices of the shared site hosting packages offered by 'NTC Hosting'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared hosting. The good thing here is that the web site hosting packages delivered by 'NTC Hosting' are driven by a custom devised, cutting edge cloud web hosting solution (each hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, web hosting Control Panel, storage space, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being dealt with by an individual bunch of web servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting supplier on the Globe will have mammoth predicaments with, because cPanel is a one single server based website hosting environment (each web hosting service, like mail, databases, hosting Control Panel, disk storage, DNS, stats, and so on, is being handled by one single hosting server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel-based site hosting corporations are not able to include new functionality and handle it the way they need it) and there is no open source file platform (they have to create their own file platform), which is the precondition of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared web page hosting accounts, which are driven by an authentic cloud web site hosting solution. With a shared hosting account, each customer pays just for his/her plan, thus keeping the web hosting price amazingly low (since a lot of clients use the same server). To cut a long story short, a shared hosting account, which is hosted on a cloud hosting system, allows you to pay just for the reserves that you really require, evading a scenario where you pay for a feature-rich webspace hosting account that you cannot truly use, or for a small web space hosting package that cannot shelter your site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with just 2 clicks grants you the flexibility to begin with a low-end package and upgrade as your site expands. That way, you spare funds that you can invest in promoting the web site while it is still brand new. Every hosting plan provided by 'NTC Hosting' offers an online website building tool and more than 40 widely used script software platforms among them WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you hundreds of dollars for web site design solutions. 'NTC Hosting' delivers shared web page hosting services in several different countries across the Globe. There is one datacenter in Chicago covering the United States and Canada; two European data center facilities - in Britain and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia Pacific region. Hence, approximately the whole World is encompassed to supply you and your visitors with a steady and reliable hosting solution at a preferred place. On the whole, the shared hosting packages delivered 'NTC Hosting' are really well furnished and come at an affordable price (beginning from $5.25 for the Budget plan).

Semi-dedicated Hosting Servers

To people with little or no experience, a private virtual web server may seem difficult to manage. That's probably why 'NTC Hosting' also hosts semi-dedicated web servers in its principal North American server farm facility in Chicago. Managing these packages is similar to handling a normal shared web hosting account via a webspace hosting CP interface. They have all the specs of a shared hosting package such as a free site building tool and a script installation tool, but the amount of system resources offered by a semi-dedicated web hosting account is many times bigger than that of a shared website hosting plan. For example, the CPU power that can be utilized is almost FIVE times as much as compared with the shared site hosting accounts. When compared with a shared website hosting account, the number of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is enormous: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted Top-Level Domain quota is a pattern as well. The semi-dedicated server packages do not include complete root access (we, at baranov.biz, think of this as a slight problem), but the good point is that they are administered via the same web site hosting Control Panel GUI as the shared web site hosting accounts. This means that a known graphical environment is offered to all customers who are not confident enough to handle a virtual private hosting server, but at the same time need more power and reserves than a virtual private web server can provide them with. This is so owing to the fact that the semi-dedicated web hosting servers share the system resources of the same powerful first-class web hosting servers as the ones which accommodate the virtual web server accounts, however, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is quite low (somewhere between twenty to 30 per physical machine), while the virtual web servers can reach a much higher number (eighty to a hundred and twenty per physical machine). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers provided by 'NTC Hosting' can be dubbed as being quite cheap (as far as cost is concerned), commencing from $35.95 for the Pioneer package.

Dedicated Servers

According to baranov.biz, large web sites such as social networks, community and business portals or popular online stores with 1000s of customers request a much more powerful hosting platform. It appears that the blokes from 'NTC Hosting' have reached the same conclusion too. To live up to its clients' expectations, 'NTC Hosting' offers a number of dedicated web servers that can handle millions of daily visits. That evaluation stands on the hardware specifications the hosting servers sport: multi-core processors, up to four GB of RAM, two thousand gigabytes of storage space and Gigabit network cards will definitely ensure the quick and steady work of any type of web site. In 'NTC Hosting's opinion, the primary hardware specifications can be upgraded for more resource-demanding sites. We, from baranov.biz, think that all dedicated server solutions delivered by 'NTC Hosting' are also suitable for launching a hosting reseller business as each dedicated web hosting server provides free-of-charge invoicing transaction software platform and a bonus domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated web servers delivered by 'NTC Hosting' are all unmanaged. We, at baranov.biz, think that this is a little defect, which can be corrected by paying a monthly fee of $32.00 USD. So, if you require backing, the Managed Services upgrade provides a handful of additional services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. A handful of site hosting CP (CP) tools are offered with each of the servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (baranov.biz's) prediction is that the impressive point and click File Manager included in the Hepsia web space hosting Control Panel will probably make the recourse to any FTP software program useless. Our (baranov.biz's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers delivered by 'NTC Hosting' don't appear to be very modestly priced (still the Hepsia webspace hosting Control Panel and the unmetered hosted domain allowance will doubtlessly make you smile), commencing from $40.00 for the Gold 1 plan.
