An evaluation of NTC Hosting

We, at misupercr.com, have selected 'NTC Hosting' to be our present domain and hosting vendor. Therefore we anticipate that this succinct evaluation of 'NTC Hosting' is probably going to be quite useful for other folks from all over the Globe who are searching for domain name and web hosting services. We state folks from all around the Globe, because the mere truth is that 'NTC Hosting' presently furnishes domain and hosting services in multiple data center facility locations: in America (Chicago, IL), in the United Kingdom (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, covering practically the whole planet. At least from the point of view of the Internet. So, here is what you could expect from 'NTC Hosting' in brief:

Shared Hosting Solutions

The first thing we, at misupercr.com, have noticed is the low-cost prices of the shared webspace hosting plans offered by 'NTC 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 site hosting accounts provided by 'NTC Hosting' are powered by a custom built, cutting edge cloud web hosting solution (each hosting service, like mail, databases, website hosting CP, web space, DNS, stats, etc., is being handled by an independent set of servers in a cluster). This is something EVERY cPanel web hosting firm in the World will have mammoth troubles with, because cPanel is a single server based web page hosting platform (each hosting service, like email, databases, hosting CP, disk space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being run on one single hosting server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel site hosting corporations cannot add extra functionality and manipulate it the way they need it) and there is no open source file system (they need to make their own file system), which is at the heart of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared hosting plans, which are driven by a genuine clustered site hosting platform. With a shared site hosting account, each customer pays just for his/her account, thus preserving the web site hosting price really low (since plenty of customers are hosted on one and the same web server). In brief, a shared hosting package, which runs on a clustered site hosting system, enables you to pay only for the resources that you really require, escaping a scenario where you pay for a high-end site hosting package that you cannot really utilize, or for a small site hosting package that cannot accommodate your site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with only two clicks of the mouse gives you the flexibility to commence with a low-end package and upgrade as your Internet presence expands. That way, you save funds that you can spend on publicizing the web page while it is still brand new. Each and every web hosting plan delivered by 'NTC Hosting' contains an online web site builder and over 40 popular script software platforms such as WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you hundreds of dollars for web design services. 'NTC Hosting' distributes shared webspace hosting solutions in several different regions across the Globe. There is one datacenter in Chicago covering the USA and Canada; 2 European data center facilities - in Great Britain and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia Pacific. Hence, almost the entire Earth is encompassed to present you and your visitors with a steady and fast site hosting service at a preferred location. All in all, the shared hosting plans furnished 'NTC Hosting' are quite well furnished and come at a very reasonable price (beginning from $4.95 for the Budget plan).

Semi-dedicated Web Servers

To clients with little or no experience, a virtual server may seem tough to manage. That's probably why 'NTC Hosting' also houses semi-dedicated web servers in its principal United States datacenter in Chicago. Administering these accounts is comparable to administering a normal shared web hosting package through a web space hosting Control Panel interface. They have all the features of a shared web site hosting account such as a free-of-charge web site building tool and a web app installer, but the amount of system resources offered by a semi-dedicated server account is many times greater than that of a shared web page hosting plan. For instance, the CPU power that can be used is approximately FIVE times as much as compared with the shared accounts. When matched against a shared web site hosting account, the quota of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is enormous: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted TLD quota is a standard as well. The semi-dedicated server hosting packages do not ship with complete root access (we, at misupercr.com, deem this a little weak point), but the good point is that they are managed via the same web page hosting Control Panel user interface as the shared web site hosting accounts. This means that a user-friendly graphical environment is offered to all clients who do not feel confident enough to administer a VPS server, but at the same time are in need of more power and features than a virtual private hosting server can offer. This is like that due to the fact that the semi-dedicated hosting servers share the reserves of the very same powerful high-end web hosting servers as the ones which host the Virtual Private Server accounts, still, the number of the semi-dedicated web hosting servers is very low (somewhere between 20 to thirty per physical machine), whereas the virtual servers can reach a much bigger number (80 to 120 per physical server). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers furnished by 'NTC Hosting' can be defined as being amazingly cheap (as far as cost is concerned), beginning from $35.95 for the Pioneer package.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

According to misupercr.com, enormous web pages such as social networks, community and corporate web portals or popular online storefronts with thousands of customers demand a much more powerful site hosting platform. It appears that the blokes from 'NTC Hosting' have drawn the same conclusion as well. To fulfil its users' needs, 'NTC Hosting' supplies an array of dedicated web hosting servers that can handle millions of daily visits. That assessment rests on the hardware configurations the dedicated servers sport: multi-core processors, up to 4 gigabytes of RAM, two thousand GB of data storage and Gigabit network cards will undoubtedly guarantee the quick and stable performance of any sort of site. In 'NTC Hosting's opinion, the original hardware specifications can be upgraded for more resource-requiring sites. We, from misupercr.com, think that all dedicated server specs supplied by 'NTC Hosting' are also suitable for kickstarting a hosting reseller business as each dedicated server comes with free-of-charge billing software and a charge-free domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated web hosting servers delivered by 'NTC Hosting' are all unmanaged. We, at misupercr.com, deem this a small negative point, which can be amended by paying a monthly tax of $32.00 USD. So, if you are in need of help, the Managed Services upgrade includes an array of supplementary services such as a regular backup, software installation, hosting server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. A handful of Control Panel (CP) interfaces are available with each of the dedicated web servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (misupercr.com's) prediction is that the superb point and click File Manager available in the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel will possibly make the utilization of any File Transfer Protocol software futile. Our (misupercr.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers provided by 'NTC Hosting' don't seem to be very affordably priced (still the Hepsia web site hosting Control Panel and the unlimited hosted domain name allowance will doubtlessly make you smile), commencing from $40.00 for the Gold 1 package.
