A survey of NTC Hosting

We, at silvertone.se, have selected 'NTC Hosting' to be our present domain name and web hosting distributor. Therefore we expect that this brief review of 'NTC Hosting' is probably going to be very helpful for other people from all over the Globe in search for domain name and web hosting solutions. We say individuals from all over the Globe, because the simple fact is that 'NTC Hosting' presently distributes domain and hosting services in multiple server farm facility locations: in the US (Chicago, IL), in Great Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, embracing almost the whole planet. At least from the point of view of the World Wide Web. So, here is what you could expect from 'NTC Hosting' in a nutshell:

Shared Web Space Hosting Solutions

The first thing we, at silvertone.se, have detected is the reasonable prices of the shared website hosting solutions supplied by 'NTC Hosting'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared hosting. The good news here is that the web space hosting packages furnished by 'NTC Hosting' are powered by a custom built, innovative cloud web hosting solution (each web hosting service, such as email, databases, web hosting CP, disk storage, DNS, stats, and so on, is being handled by an individual stack of web hosting servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance EVERY cPanel web hosting company on the Earth will have great difficulties with, since cPanel is a one-server based web hosting environment (each hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, web hosting Control Panel, data storage, DNS, stats, etc., is being dealt with by one single web hosting server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel-based web space hosting providers are not able to include extra functionality and manipulate it the way they want it) and there is no open source file system (they have to create their own file platform), which is at the bottom of any cloud web hosting service. Let's get back to the shared web space hosting accounts, which are driven by an authentic clustered site hosting solution. With a shared website hosting account, each client pays just for his/her plan, thus preserving the web hosting price really low (because numerous customers are hosted on one and the same web server). In a nutshell, a shared hosting account, which runs on a clustered web hosting solution, enables you to pay only for the resources that you really demand, escaping a situation where you pay for an advanced web site hosting plan that you cannot really utilize, or for a low-end website hosting account that cannot handle your web site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one plan to another with only 2 clicks of the mouse gives you the flexibility to kick off with a small plan and upgrade as your website expands. That way, you save money that you can invest in promoting the web site while it is still novel. Every web space hosting account provided by 'NTC Hosting' sports an online site building tool and over 40 widely used script-driven platforms such as WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you 100s of dollars for web design solutions. 'NTC Hosting' furnishes shared web site hosting accounts in a number of different regions across the World. There is one data center facility in Chicago encompassing the United States of America and Canada; 2 European data centers - in Britain and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia-Pacific. Hence, virtually the entire World is covered to present you and your web site's visitors with a stable and fast web site hosting service at a convenient location. Altogether, the shared hosting packages supplied 'NTC Hosting' are really well stocked and are available at a very inexpensive price (starting from $5.25 for the Budget package).

Semi-dedicated Web Servers

To people with little or no practice, a private virtual web server may appear tough to handle. That's perhaps why 'NTC Hosting' also stores semi-dedicated hosting servers in its main US server farm facility in Chicago. Handling these accounts is similar to administering a conventional shared web page hosting account through a web space hosting Control Panel tool. They have all the specs of a shared website hosting package such as a fee-free web site building tool and a web application installation tool, but the amount of system resources offered by a semi-dedicated hosting server account is many times bigger than that of a shared website hosting account. For example, the CPU power that can be utilized is nearly 5 times as much as compared to the shared packages. When juxtaposed to a shared plan, the number of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting accounts is great: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted Top-Level Domain allowance is a norm as well. The semi-dedicated web hosting accounts do not include complete server root access (we, at silvertone.se, count this as a tiny drawback), but the good point is that they are managed through the very same webspace hosting CP tool as the shared site hosting accounts. This suggests that a well-known graphical interface is available to all customers who do not feel self-confident enough to administer a VPS, yet demand more power and reserves than a VPS hosting server can confer to them. This is so because of the fact that the semi-dedicated web servers share the system resources of the same powerful first-rate hosting servers as the ones which host the VPS hosting plans, still, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is quite small (somewhere between 20 to 30 per server), while the virtual private web hosting servers can reach a much bigger number (eighty to a hundred and twenty per server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers delivered by 'NTC Hosting' can be classified as being quite inexpensive (as far as price is concerned), beginning from $35.95 for the Pioneer package.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

According to silvertone.se, huge web pages such as social networks, community and corporate web portals or popular online storefronts with 1000s of customers require a much more powerful website hosting platform. It appears that the guys from 'NTC Hosting' have come to the same conclusion too. To answer its clients' anticipations, 'NTC Hosting' provides a collection of dedicated web hosting servers that can cope with millions of daily hits. That assessment is based on the hardware specifications the web servers come with: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to 4 GB of RAM, 2000 GB of web space and Gigabit network cards will no doubt guarantee the fast and stable work of any type of website. In 'NTC Hosting's opinion, the original hardware specs can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding websites. We, from silvertone.se, think that all dedicated server packages offered by 'NTC Hosting' are also suitable for initiating a hosting reseller business as every dedicated web server arrives with free-of-charge invoicing transaction software platform and a charge-free domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated web hosting servers offered by 'NTC Hosting' are all unmanaged. We, at silvertone.se, consider this 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 aid, the Managed Services upgrade includes an array of supplementary services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated server surveillance and troubleshooting procedures. A selection of site hosting Control Panel (CP) tools are available with each of the dedicated web servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (silvertone.se's) prediction is that the superb drag-and-drop File Manager included in the Hepsia site hosting CP will probably render the utilization of any FTP software program futile. Our (silvertone.se's) inference is that the dedicated servers supplied by 'NTC Hosting' don't seem to be very inexpensive (still the Hepsia site hosting CP and the unlimited hosted domain name quotas will no doubt make you smile), beginning from $60.00 for the Diamond 1 plan.
