A survey of Web Planet

We, at etix10.com, have selected 'Web Planet' to be our present domain name and hosting distributor. This is why we believe that this short assessment of 'Web Planet' is maybe going to be quite helpful for other folks from all over the World in search for domain name and web hosting solutions. We say folks from all over the Globe, because the mere fact is that 'Web Planet' currently offers domain and hosting services in several data center locations: in the USA (Chicago, IL), in the UK (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). That way, encompassing virtually the whole Globe. At least as far as the Internet is concerned. So, here is what you could expect from 'Web Planet' in a few words:

Shared Web Site Hosting Plans

The first thing we, at etix10.com, have spotted is the inexpensive prices of the shared web space hosting accounts offered by 'Web Planet'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared hosting. The good news here is that the web page hosting accounts delivered by 'Web Planet' are driven by a custom devised, cutting edge cloud web hosting platform (each web hosting service, like mail, databases, web site hosting CP, web space, DNS, stats, and so on, is being run on an individual host of web servers in a cluster). This is something ANY cPanel web hosting company on the Earth will have colossal predicaments with, because cPanel is a one single server based web site hosting environment (each hosting service, like electronic mail, databases, website hosting Control Panel, web space, DNS, statistics, and so on, runs on one and the same web hosting server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel web space hosting providers cannot include extra functionality and handle it the way they need it) and there is no open source file platform (they need to set up their own file platform), which is at the heart of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared site hosting packages, which are powered by a real clustered web hosting platform. With a shared site hosting account, each customer pays only for his/her account, thus preserving the web site hosting price really low (since lots of users are located on one and the same web hosting server). In a nutshell, a shared hosting package, which runs on a cloud web site hosting solution, allows you to pay just for the resources that you indeed demand, evading a scenario where you pay for a powerful web space hosting account that you cannot actually use, or for a small web site hosting account that cannot shelter your web site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one plan to another with just 2 mouse clicks gives you the flexibility to start with a tiny package and upgrade as your Internet presence expands. That way, you spare capital that you can expend on advertising the website while it is still novel. Each hosting plan delivered by 'Web Planet' contains an online site builder and over forty widely used script software applications like WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you 100s of dollars for website design services. 'Web Planet' delivers shared site hosting services in a number of different geographical regions around the World. There is one data center facility in Chicago covering the United States and Canada; 2 European server farm facilities - in Great Britain and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia-Pacific. Hence, virtually the entire Earth is encompassed to supply you and your web site's visitors with a stable and fast website hosting solution at a preferred location. On the whole, the shared hosting solutions offered 'Web Planet' are quite well stocked and come at a budget price (starting from $10.00 for the FRIEND package).

Dedicated Servers

In etix10.com's opinion, huge websites such as social networks, community and corporate portals or famous web shops with thousands of clients request a much more powerful hosting environment. It appears that the guys from 'Web Planet' have reached the same conclusion too. To fulfil its customers' requirements, 'Web Planet' supplies a selection of dedicated servers that can handle millions of daily visits. That estimation stands on the hardware specifications the dedicated servers arrive with: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to 4 GB of RAM, 2000 gigabytes of disk space and Gigabit NICs will no doubt guarantee the quick and stable performance of any sort of web site. According to 'Web Planet', the primary hardware configurations can be upgraded for more resource-requiring websites. We, from etix10.com, think that all dedicated server packages delivered by 'Web Planet' are also suitable for establishing a hosting reseller business as every dedicated web hosting server ships with free-of-charge billing software and a bonus domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated web servers delivered by 'Web Planet' are all unmanaged. We, at etix10.com, think of this as a tiny defect, which can be corrected by paying a monthly tax which amounts to $32.00 USD. So, if you require backing, the Managed Services upgrade provides a number of supplementary services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated web server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. An assortment of Control Panel (CP) GUIs are available with each of the web hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (etix10.com's) prediction is that the superb drag and drop File Manager offered by the Hepsia Control Panel will probably make the use of any File Transfer Protocol software pointless. Our (etix10.com's) inference is that the dedicated servers offered by 'Web Planet' don't appear to be very inexpensive (yet the Hepsia web space hosting CP and the unlimited hosted domain quotas will definitely make you smile), commencing from $60.00 for the Xeon E3 v3 plan.
