An evaluation of ACQ Hosting

We, at clients.ailerondigitalworks.com, have picked 'ACQ Hosting' to be our current domain name and hosting vendor. Therefore we believe that this short assessment of 'ACQ Hosting' is probably going to be very helpful for other folks from all over the World in need of domain name and web hosting solutions. We say individuals from all around the Globe, because the simple fact is that 'ACQ Hosting' presently distributes domain and hosting services in numerous datacenter facility sites: in the US (Chicago, IL), in the United Kingdom (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, covering almost the entire Globe. At least as far as the World Wide Web is concerned. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'ACQ Hosting' in a few words:

Shared Webspace Hosting Plans

The initial detail we, at clients.ailerondigitalworks.com, have observed is the affordable prices of the shared web space hosting packages delivered by 'ACQ Hosting'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared hosting. The good news here is that the hosting plans delivered by 'ACQ Hosting' are powered by a custom built, cutting edge cloud web hosting platform (each hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, web site hosting CP, data storage, DNS, statistics, etc., runs on a different bunch of web hosting servers in a cluster). This is something EVERY cPanel web hosting firm on the Globe will have big troubles with, since cPanel is a single server based web hosting platform (each hosting service, like email, databases, web site hosting Control Panel, web space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being dealt with by one single hosting server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel site hosting suppliers are unable to add additional functionality and manipulate it the way they want it) and there is no open source file platform (they have to design their own file system), which is the basis of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared website hosting plans, which are powered by a genuine cloud hosting solution. With a shared web space hosting account, each customer pays just for his/her account, thus preserving the hosting price amazingly low (since many clients are located on one and the same web server). In a nutshell, a shared hosting package, which runs on a cloud web space hosting platform, allows you to pay solely for the reserves that you really require, avoiding a scenario where you pay for an advanced web hosting package that you cannot really utilize, or for a tiny web site hosting account that cannot host your site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with only 2 clicks of the mouse gives you the flexibility to kick off with a tiny plan and upgrade as your web page expands. In this way, you spare cash that you can expend on promoting the website while it is still brand new. Each website hosting package delivered by 'ACQ Hosting' comprises an online website building tool and more than forty widely used script platforms such as WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you 100s of dollars for site design solutions. 'ACQ Hosting' delivers shared web space hosting accounts in several different regions across the World. There is one datacenter in Chicago encompassing the USA and Canada; 2 European datacenters - in Great Britain and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia Pacific. Thus, almost the entire Globe is encompassed to present you and your site's visitors with a stable and reliable webspace hosting solution at a convenient location. All in all, the shared hosting services provided 'ACQ Hosting' are really well stocked and come at a very affordable price (beginning from £3.98 for the Economy plan).

Semi-dedicated Hosting Servers

To customers with little to no practice, a virtual private web hosting server may seem difficult to manage. That's perhaps why 'ACQ Hosting' also houses semi-dedicated hosting servers in its main North American server farm in Chicago. Handling these plans is comparable to administering a typical shared web site hosting plan via a webspace hosting Control Panel user interface. They have all the functionalities of a shared webspace hosting account such as a fee-free site builder and a web app installation tool, but the amount of system resources provided by a semi-dedicated hosting package is many times larger than that of a shared webspace hosting plan. For instance, the CPU power that can be utilized is nearly FIVE times as much as compared to the shared web page hosting plans. When contrasted with a shared web hosting account, the number of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is great: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted domain quota is a standard too. The semi-dedicated web hosting accounts do not ship with server root access (we, at clients.ailerondigitalworks.com, think that this is a minor problem), but the advantage is that they are administered via the very same website hosting CP user interface as the shared webspace hosting accounts. This implies that a known graphical interface is offered to all clients who do not have enough self-condifence to manage a virtual private hosting server, but at the same time are in need of more power and system resources than a VPS web server can bestow on them. This is so due to the fact that the semi-dedicated hosting servers share the resources of the same powerful hyper-advanced web hosting servers as the ones which host the VPS server web hosting accounts, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated servers is very small (somewhere between 20 to thirty per physical machine), whereas the private virtual servers can reach a much bigger number (80 to one hundred and twenty per physical server). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers delivered by 'ACQ Hosting' can be defined as being amazingly cheap (as far as cost is concerned), beginning from £18.57 for the Semi Pro package.

Dedicated Web Servers

According to clients.ailerondigitalworks.com, big web sites such as social networks, community and business portals or famous online storefronts with 1000s of clients demand a much more powerful web page hosting environment. It seems that the blokes from 'ACQ Hosting' have arrived at the same conclusion as well. To satisfy its customers' needs, 'ACQ Hosting' supplies a number of dedicated web servers that can handle millions of daily hits. That evaluation is based on the hardware specifications the dedicated servers sport: many-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, 2000 GB of disk space and Gigabit network interface cards will beyond doubt ensure the fast and stable work of any type of site. In 'ACQ Hosting's opinion, the original hardware configurations can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding websites. We, from clients.ailerondigitalworks.com, deem that all dedicated server specifications provided by 'ACQ Hosting' are also appropriate for kickstarting a hosting reseller business as every dedicated server offers free-of-charge invoice transaction software platform and a free domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated servers offered by 'ACQ Hosting' are all unmanaged. We, at clients.ailerondigitalworks.com, regard this as a small downside, which can be corrected by paying a monthly fee of £29.72 GBP. So, if you demand help, the Managed Services upgrade offers a bouquet of supplementary services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated web hosting server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. An assortment of site hosting Control Panel (CP) GUIs are available with each of the web hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (clients.ailerondigitalworks.com's) prediction is that the splendid point-and-click File Manager added in the Hepsia hosting CP will perhaps make the recourse to any File Transfer Protocol software program useless. Our (clients.ailerondigitalworks.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers provided by 'ACQ Hosting' don't appear to be very cheap (yet the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and the unmetered hosted domain quotas will no doubt make you smile), commencing from £106.79 for the Xeon Scalable 6c plan.
