A review of NTC Hosting

We, at gainvest.properties, have selected 'NTC Hosting' to be our current domain name and web hosting distributor. This is why we deem that this short assessment of 'NTC Hosting' is probably going to be very helpful for other people from all around the Globe who are looking for domain name and web hosting solutions. We say people from all around the World, since the simple truth is that 'NTC Hosting' presently offers domain and hosting services in several data center facility sites: in the United States (Chicago, IL), in the UK (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). That way, covering practically the whole World. At least from the point of view of the World Wide Web. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'NTC Hosting' in short:

Shared Web Site Hosting Services

The initial detail we, at gainvest.properties, have perceived is the modest prices of the shared hosting services provided 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 hosting accounts delivered by 'NTC Hosting' are powered by a custom developed, ultramodern cloud web hosting platform (each hosting service, like email, databases, site hosting CP, disk storage, DNS, stats, and so on, is being served by an independent group of web hosting servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance EVERY cPanel web hosting corporation on the Globe will have colossal troubles with, because cPanel is a single server based web site hosting platform (each hosting service, like mail, databases, hosting Control Panel, disk space, DNS, stats, and so on, is being dealt with by a single server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel-based webspace hosting corporations are not able to add new functionality and manipulate it the way they need it) and there is no open source file system (they must set up their own file system), which is the basis of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared web hosting accounts, which are driven by an authentic clustered hosting solution. With a shared web hosting account, each customer pays solely for his/her package, thus keeping the webspace hosting price very low (because a lot of customers share the same web server). In a nutshell, a shared hosting account, which runs on a clustered web site hosting solution, permits you to pay solely for the resources that you actually demand, escaping a situation where you pay for a high-end site hosting plan that you cannot actually use, or for a tiny hosting plan that cannot accommodate your website. The possibility to upgrade your account from one plan to another with only 2 clicks of the mouse gives you the flexibility to commence with a basic plan and upgrade as your web page grows. Hence, you spare funds that you can spend on advertising the web site while it is still novel. Every hosting package provided by 'NTC Hosting' sports an online web site building tool and over 40 popular script-driven platforms including WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you hundreds of dollars for web page design services. 'NTC Hosting' distributes shared web site hosting accounts in a number of different regions around the World. There is one datacenter in Chicago covering the US and Canada; two European data centers - in Great Britain and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia Pacific. In this way, practically the entire Earth is covered to supply you and your web page's visitors with a stable and dependable web page hosting service at a nearby location. As a whole, the shared hosting solutions furnished 'NTC Hosting' are very well stocked and come at a very good price (starting from $5.25 for the Budget plan).

Semi-dedicated Hosting Servers

To people with little to no experience, a virtual web server may appear troublesome to administer. That's probably why 'NTC Hosting' also stores semi-dedicated web servers in its main North American server farm in Chicago. Handling these plans is similar to administering a standard shared site hosting account through a web site hosting CP GUI. They have all the functionalities of a shared site hosting account such as a free-of-cost website builder and a web app installer, but the system resource quota offered by a semi-dedicated plan is many times larger than that of a shared website hosting plan. For example, the CPU power that can be utilized is approximately FIVE times as much as compared with the shared web site hosting plans. When compared to a shared site hosting package, the number of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is great: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted domain name allowance is a norm as well. The semi-dedicated web hosting server accounts do not arrive with root privileges (we, at gainvest.properties, regard this as a small minus), but the benefit is that they are administered through the same webspace hosting Control Panel interface as the shared hosting plans. This implies that a well-known graphical user interface is accessible by all clients who do not have enough confidence to handle a virtual private hosting server, yet are in need of more power and reserves than a VPS hosting server can provide them with. This is like that due to the fact that the semi-dedicated hosting servers share the resources of the same powerful leading edge servers as the ones which accommodate the VPS web hosting packages, still, the number of the semi-dedicated hosting servers is quite low (somewhere between twenty to 30 per physical machine), whereas the VPSs can reach a much higher number (eighty to 120 per physical server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers provided by 'NTC Hosting' can be dubbed as being very inexpensive (as far as price is concerned), commencing from $35.95 for the Pioneer package.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

According to gainvest.properties, big web sites such as social networks, community and corporate portals or famous web shops with 1000s of customers call for a much more powerful website hosting environment. It seems that the guys from 'NTC Hosting' have drawn the same conclusion as well. To fulfil its customers' expectations, 'NTC Hosting' offers a collection of dedicated web servers that can manage millions of daily hits. That estimation is based on the hardware specs the servers boast: multi-core processors, up to four GB of RAM, 2000 GB of disk space and Gigabit network interface cards will undoubtedly ensure the quick and steady work of any sort of website. In 'NTC Hosting's opinion, the primary hardware configurations can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding sites. We, from gainvest.properties, consider that all dedicated server plans provided by 'NTC Hosting' are also suitable for initiating a hosting reseller business as every hosting server provides free-of-charge billing software platform and a fee-free domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated hosting servers delivered by 'NTC Hosting' are all unmanaged. We, at gainvest.properties, regard this as a minor weakness, which can be amended by paying a monthly fee of $32.00 USD. So, if you need aid, the Managed Services upgrade offers a handful of extra services such as a regular backup, software installation, dedicated web server surveillance and troubleshooting procedures. A handful of web space hosting CP (CP) user interfaces are available with each of the dedicated web servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (gainvest.properties's) prognosis is that the amazing point-and-click File Manager added in the Hepsia web site hosting Control Panel will perhaps render the recourse to any File Transfer Protocol software program futile. Our (gainvest.properties's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers provided by 'NTC Hosting' don't seem to be very low priced (still the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and the unmetered hosted domain name quotas will undoubtedly make you smile), beginning from $40.00 for the Gold 1 package.
