A survey of AIDA Host

We, at toloon.com, have chosen 'AIDA Host' to be our present domain name and hosting supplier. Therefore we expect that this brief assessment of 'AIDA Host' is perhaps going to be very helpful for other individuals from all around the Globe who need domain name and web hosting solutions. We state people from all around the Globe, because the simple fact is that 'AIDA Host' presently supplies domain and hosting services in several datacenter facility sites: in the United States of America (Chicago, IL), in the United Kingdom (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, embracing virtually the whole planet. At least from the point of view of the Internet. So, here is what you could expect from 'AIDA Host' in a nutshell:

Shared Web Hosting Services

The first detail we, at toloon.com, have discerned is the affordable prices of the shared web site hosting accounts offered by 'AIDA Host'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared hosting. The good thing here is that the web site hosting plans delivered by 'AIDA Host' are powered by an in-house built, state-of-the-art cloud web hosting platform (each web hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, web site hosting CP, disk storage, DNS, stats, and so on, is being tackled by an individual set of web servers in a cluster). This is something EVERY cPanel web hosting supplier in the World will have enormous difficulties with, since cPanel is a single server based website hosting platform (each hosting service, such as email, databases, hosting CP, storage space, DNS, statistics, etc., runs on one and the same web hosting server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel-based web page hosting corporations are not able to add new functionality and manipulate it the way they need it) and there is no open source file platform (they need to make their own file platform), which is the foundation of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared web space hosting packages, which are driven by a real cloud web page hosting system. With a shared web site hosting plan, each client pays just for his/her account, thus maintaining the hosting price really low (since a lot of clients utilize one and the same hosting server). To cut a long story short, a shared hosting account, which runs on a clustered web page hosting system, allows you to pay only for the resources that you indeed need, precluding a scenario where you pay for a high-end hosting package that you cannot truly utilize, or for a low-end web space hosting account that cannot handle your website. The possibility to upgrade your account from one plan to another with only 2 clicks gives you the flexibility to start with a low-end package and upgrade as your online presence expands. Hence, you spare cash that you can invest in publicizing the web page while it is still novel. Every web space hosting account delivered by 'AIDA Host' contains an online website builder and over forty popular script-driven software applications among them WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you hundreds of dollars for site design services. 'AIDA Host' provides shared webspace hosting services in several different regions around the World. There is one data center facility in Chicago encompassing the USA and Canada; two European datacenters - in Great Britain and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia-Pacific region. Hence, nearly the entire World is encompassed to provide you and your website's visitors with a steady and reliable webspace hosting solution at a desired location. On the whole, the shared hosting services furnished 'AIDA Host' are very well stocked and are available at an excellent price (starting from $4.11 for the Bronze plan).

Semi-dedicated Web Servers

To users with little to no practice, a virtual hosting server may seem troublesome to handle. That's probably why 'AIDA Host' also stores semi-dedicated web servers in its main US data center facility in Chicago. Handling these accounts is similar to managing a normal shared hosting package via a webspace hosting CP interface. They have all the features of a shared web hosting package such as a free-of-cost site builder and a web application installer, but the system resource quota typical of a semi-dedicated web server plan is many times larger than that of a shared web space hosting package. For instance, the central processing unit power that can be utilized is about FIVE times as much as compared to the shared web space hosting accounts. When juxtaposed to a shared site hosting package, the number of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is great: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted TLD allowance is a norm too. The semi-dedicated server hosting plans do not ship with complete root-level access (we, at toloon.com, count this as a little problem), but the plus is that they are administered via the same website hosting CP GUI as the shared web site hosting accounts. This hints that a user-friendly graphical interface is available to all clients who do not feel confident enough to administer a private virtual server, yet demand more power and reserves than a virtual private web hosting server can confer to them. This is like that because of the fact that the semi-dedicated web hosting servers share the system resources of the same powerful hyper-advanced web servers as the ones which accommodate the private virtual server packages, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated web hosting servers is quite low (somewhere between 20 to 30 per server), while the virtual servers can reach a much higher number (eighty to a hundred and twenty per physical server). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers provided by 'AIDA Host' can be branded as being very inexpensive (as far as cost is concerned), commencing from $20.00 for the Level 1 package.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

According to toloon.com, huge web pages such as social networks, community and corporate portals or famous online shops with thousands of customers demand a much more powerful site hosting environment. It seems that the fellows from 'AIDA Host' have arrived at the same conclusion as well. To meet its clients' expectations, 'AIDA Host' offers a bouquet of dedicated web hosting servers that can tackle millions of daily visits. That estimate rests on the hardware configurations the dedicated servers sport: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to 4 gigabytes of RAM, 2000 GB of web space and Gigabit network interface cards will no doubt ensure the quick and stable performance of any type of site. In 'AIDA Host's opinion, the primary hardware specs can be upgraded for more system resource-requiring websites. We, from toloon.com, deem that all dedicated server accounts delivered by 'AIDA Host' are also appropriate for starting a hosting reseller business as each and every dedicated hosting server provides free-of-cost invoice transaction software and a free-of-cost domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated web hosting servers provided by 'AIDA Host' are all unmanaged. We, at toloon.com, deem this a little negative point, which can be amended by paying a monthly fee which amounts to $32.00 USD. So, if you require help, the Managed Services upgrade provides a bouquet of extra services such as a regular backup, software installation, dedicated web hosting server surveillance and troubleshooting operations. Several web site hosting CP (CP) interfaces are offered with each of the servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (toloon.com's) forecast is that the remarkable point and click File Manager offered by the Hepsia site hosting Control Panel will perhaps make the utilization of any FTP client futile. Our (toloon.com's) inference is that the dedicated servers provided by 'AIDA Host' don't seem to be very affordably priced (still the Hepsia web page hosting CP and the unlimited hosted domain quotas will beyond doubt make you smile), beginning from $60.00 for the Xeon E3 v3 package.
