An evaluation of WNS Hosting

We, at motorist.se, have chosen 'WNS Hosting' to be our present domain name and hosting provider. Therefore we consider that this brief evaluation of 'WNS Hosting' is probably going to be quite useful for other people from all over the World who seek domain name and web hosting solutions. We say people from all over the Globe, since the simple truth is that 'WNS Hosting' presently distributes domain and hosting services in multiple data center locations: in the United States of America (Chicago, IL), in the United Kingdom (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). That way, encompassing approximately the whole planet. At least from the point of view of the Internet. So, here is what you could expect from 'WNS Hosting' in a nutshell:

Shared Site Hosting Services

The first detail we, at motorist.se, have noticed is the low prices of the shared web site hosting solutions delivered by 'WNS Hosting'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared hosting. The good news here is that the site hosting accounts delivered by 'WNS Hosting' are driven by a custom created, state-of-the-art cloud web hosting platform (each hosting service, such as mail, databases, web hosting Control Panel, disk space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being served by an independent group of servers in a cluster). This is something EVERY cPanel web hosting provider in the World will have huge troubles with, since cPanel is a one-server based hosting platform (each hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, web hosting CP, disk space, DNS, stats, etc., is being run on a single web server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel-based webspace hosting distributors cannot add new functionality and handle it the way they want it) and there is no open source file system (they have to design their own file system), which is at the bottom of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared web hosting packages, which are powered by a real cloud site hosting solution. With a shared webspace hosting account, each customer pays just for his/her account, thus preserving the webspace hosting price amazingly low (since multiple users are hosted on the same hosting server). In short, a shared hosting package, which is being served by a cloud web hosting platform, allows you to pay solely for the resources that you indeed need, evading a situation where you pay for a high-end hosting plan that you cannot truly utilize, or for a basic hosting package that cannot host your web page. The option to upgrade your account from one package to another with just 2 clicks of the mouse grants you the flexibility to begin with a basic package and upgrade as your web presence grows. Thus, you spare funds that you can spend on promoting the web page while it is still novel. Every web space hosting account supplied by 'WNS Hosting' includes an online web site building tool and more than 40 popular script platforms including WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you 100s of dollars for web page design solutions. 'WNS Hosting' offers shared web site hosting services in a number of different countries around the World. There is one datacenter in Chicago encompassing the United States and Canada; two European datacenter facilities - in Britain and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia Pacific region. Hence, practically the entire World is covered to supply you and your web page's visitors with a steady and dependable website hosting service at a preferred place. As a whole, the shared hosting packages furnished 'WNS Hosting' are very well equipped and are available at a very inexpensive price (beginning from $3.17 for the Tiny plan).

Semi-dedicated Web Hosting Servers

To users with little or no practice, a virtual private web hosting server may appear difficult to handle. That's perhaps why 'WNS Hosting' also offers semi-dedicated web servers in its principal US server farm facility in Chicago. Managing these packages is comparable to handling a standard shared hosting account via a CP user interface. They have all the features of a shared hosting account such as a fee-free website builder and a PHP script installation tool, but the system resource quota typical of a semi-dedicated hosting server package is many times greater than that of a shared site hosting account. For example, the CPU power that can be used is nearly FIVE times as much as compared to the shared accounts. When compared with a shared hosting account, the number of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is big: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted TLD allowance is a standard as well. The semi-dedicated web server plans do not include full server root privileges (we, at motorist.se, count this as a tiny disadvantage), but the plus is that they are managed through the same web site hosting Control Panel user interface as the shared packages. This signifies that a familiar graphical interface is available to all clients who do not feel confident enough to handle a VPS web server, but at the same time require more power and supplies than a virtual private web server can provide them with. This is so because of the fact that the semi-dedicated servers share the system resources of the same powerful avant-garde web hosting servers as the ones which host the private virtual server packages, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated servers is very small (somewhere between twenty to thirty per physical machine), while the private virtual servers can reach a much greater number (eighty to 120 per physical server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers furnished by 'WNS Hosting' can be classified as being quite affordable (as far as cost is concerned), starting from $20.00 for the Fast package.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

In motorist.se's opinion, large websites such as social networks, community and corporate portals or popular web shops with thousands of clients demand a much more powerful website hosting environment. It seems that the chaps from 'WNS Hosting' have reached the same conclusion too. To satisfy its users' demands, 'WNS Hosting' delivers a collection of dedicated web servers that can cope with millions of daily hits. That estimation rests on the hardware specs the servers boast: multi-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, 2000 gigabytes of data storage and Gigabit NICs will beyond doubt ensure the quick and steady work of any sort of site. According to 'WNS Hosting', the original hardware specs can be upgraded for more resource-demanding websites. We, from motorist.se, believe that all dedicated server specs provided by 'WNS Hosting' are also suitable for beginning a hosting reseller business as every web server offers free-of-charge invoicing transaction software and a bonus domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated servers delivered by 'WNS Hosting' are all unmanaged. We, at motorist.se, regard this as a little problem, which can be righted by paying a monthly tax of $32.00 USD. So, if you demand support, the Managed Services upgrade provides a handful of extra services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated web hosting server monitoring and troubleshooting operations. An assortment of webspace hosting CP (CP) GUIs are available with each of the web servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (motorist.se's) prediction is that the superb drag-and-drop File Manager available in the Hepsia Control Panel will perhaps render the use of any FTP software futile. Our (motorist.se's) inference is that the dedicated servers supplied by 'WNS Hosting' don't appear to be very inexpensive (still the Hepsia web site hosting CP and the unmetered hosted domain name allowance will doubtlessly make you smile), commencing from $60.00 for the Xeon E3 v3 plan.
