An evaluation of Loyalty Hosting

We, at ipdwa.com, have chosen 'Loyalty Hosting' to be our current domain and web hosting distributor. Hence we deem that this concise assessment of 'Loyalty Hosting' is maybe going to be quite helpful for other folks from all around the World in need of domain name and web hosting services. We say individuals from all around the Globe, because the simple truth is that 'Loyalty Hosting' presently furnishes domain and hosting services in multiple data center facility locations: in America (Chicago, IL), in the UK (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). That way, embracing virtually the whole World. At least from the point of view of the Internet. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Loyalty Hosting' in a nutshell:

Shared Web Hosting Packages

The initial thing we, at ipdwa.com, have noted is the cut-rate prices of the shared site hosting services offered by 'Loyalty Hosting'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared web hosting. The good thing here is that the website hosting accounts offered by 'Loyalty Hosting' are powered by an in-house built, avant-garde cloud web hosting platform (each web hosting service, like email, databases, web page hosting CP, storage space, DNS, stats, etc., is being tackled by an independent pack of web servers in a cluster). This is something EVERY cPanel web hosting supplier on the Globe will have enormous problems with, because cPanel is a single server based web hosting environment (each web hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, hosting CP, disk storage, DNS, stats, etc., is being tackled by one single server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel web space hosting suppliers are not able to include extra functionality and manipulate it the way they want it) and there is no open source file platform (they must set up their own file system), which is the basis of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared site hosting accounts, which are driven by an authentic clustered hosting solution. With a shared web space hosting package, each customer pays just for his/her package, thus maintaining the site hosting price really low (because numerous users use one and the same hosting server). In brief, a shared hosting account, which runs on a clustered hosting platform, permits you to pay solely for the reserves that you indeed demand, evading a scenario where you pay for a high-end website hosting plan that you cannot actually utilize, or for a tiny webspace hosting account that cannot handle your site. The ability to upgrade your account from one package to another with just two mouse clicks gives you the flexibility to commence with a basic package and upgrade as your web site expands. That way, you spare funds that you can invest in promoting the website while it is still brand new. Every web space hosting package furnished by 'Loyalty Hosting' boasts an online site builder and over forty widely used script-driven software applications like WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you hundreds of dollars for site design services. 'Loyalty Hosting' distributes shared webspace hosting solutions in several different regions around the World. There is one datacenter facility in Chicago encompassing the United States of America and Canada; two European data center facilities - in Great Britain and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia-Pacific. That way, practically the whole Globe is covered to present you and your site's visitors with a steady and dependable hosting service at a convenient location. On the whole, the shared hosting accounts offered 'Loyalty Hosting' are very well equipped and come at a very cheap price (starting from $3.95 for the Basic plan).

Semi-dedicated Servers

To customers with little or no practice, a virtual server may seem complicated to handle. That's perhaps why 'Loyalty Hosting' also stores semi-dedicated hosting servers in its main American datacenter in Chicago. Handling these accounts is similar to handling a regular shared website hosting plan through a website hosting Control Panel interface. They have all the features of a shared webspace hosting plan such as a free-of-cost web site building tool and a PHP script installation tool, but the amount of system resources provided by a semi-dedicated web hosting package is many times greater than that of a shared webspace hosting plan. For example, the CPU power that can be utilized is almost FIVE times as much as compared with the shared webspace hosting plans. When contrasted with a shared hosting plan, the quota of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting accounts is immense: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted domain allowance is a norm too. The semi-dedicated server web hosting accounts do not arrive with root-level access (we, at ipdwa.com, think of this as a tiny inconvenience), but the good point is that they are administered via the very same web page hosting Control Panel interface as the shared website hosting plans. This indicates that a well-known GUI is available to all clients who do not feel confident enough to manage a virtual web hosting server, yet demand more power and resources than a VPS hosting server can provide them with. This is so due to the fact that the semi-dedicated servers share the resources of the very same powerful high-class hosting servers as the ones which host the VPS web hosting accounts, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is very low (somewhere between 20 to 30 per server), whereas the virtual hosting servers can reach a much bigger number (80 to a hundred and twenty per physical machine). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers delivered by 'Loyalty Hosting' can be labeled as being quite affordable (as far as cost is concerned), beginning from $19.99 for the Semi-Dedicated Basic plan.

Dedicated Servers

In ipdwa.com's opinion, big web pages such as social networks, community and business web portals or popular online shops with thousands of clients demand a much more powerful web site hosting environment. It appears that the blokes from 'Loyalty Hosting' have drawn the same conclusion too. To answer its customers' requirements, 'Loyalty Hosting' provides a bouquet of dedicated web hosting servers that can cope with millions of daily hits. That estimate rests on the hardware configurations the dedicated hosting servers sport: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to four GB of RAM, 2000 gigabytes of data storage and Gigabit NICs will definitely guarantee the fast and steady performance of any type of website. According to 'Loyalty Hosting', the original hardware configurations can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding web sites. We, from ipdwa.com, believe that all dedicated server plans provided by 'Loyalty Hosting' are also suitable for kickstarting a hosting reseller business as each and every server offers free-of-cost invoice transaction software platform and a cost-free domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated web servers delivered by 'Loyalty Hosting' are all unmanaged. We, at ipdwa.com, regard this as a minor weakness, which can be righted by paying a monthly tax of $31.99 USD. So, if you need support, the Managed Services upgrade offers a few extra services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated web hosting server surveillance and troubleshooting procedures. A bouquet of web site hosting Control Panel (CP) interfaces are available with each of the web hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (ipdwa.com's) prognosis is that the splendid drag-and-drop File Manager available in the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel will possibly render the use of any FTP client futile. Our (ipdwa.com's) inference is that the dedicated servers provided by 'Loyalty Hosting' don't seem to be very affordably priced (still the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and the unmetered hosted domain allowance will beyond doubt make you smile), commencing from $89.99 for the Xeon E3 v5 plan.
