A survey of Web-Cheapo

We, at retrojesus.com, have chosen 'Web-Cheapo' to be our current domain name and hosting supplier. Hence we believe that this short assessment of 'Web-Cheapo' is perchance going to be quite helpful for other people from all over the Globe who are looking for domain name and web hosting solutions. We state individuals from all over the Globe, since the mere fact is that 'Web-Cheapo' currently supplies domain and hosting services in multiple datacenter sites: in America (Chicago, IL), in Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, covering practically the entire Globe. At least as far as the World Wide Web is concerned. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Web-Cheapo' in a nutshell:

Shared Web Hosting Accounts

The first detail we, at retrojesus.com, have seen is the reasonable prices of the shared site hosting plans supplied by 'Web-Cheapo'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared hosting. The good thing here is that the web hosting accounts furnished by 'Web-Cheapo' are driven by a custom devised, modern cloud web hosting platform (each web hosting service, such as email, databases, web site hosting Control Panel, web space, DNS, stats, etc., is being dealt with by a separate bunch of web servers in a cluster). This is something EVERY cPanel web hosting supplier on the Earth will have huge complications with, because cPanel is a single server based website hosting environment (each web hosting service, such as mail, databases, web space hosting Control Panel, disk storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being served by a single web hosting server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel site hosting providers are not able to include new functionality and handle it the way they want it) and there is no open source file platform (they must develop their own file platform), which is at the heart of any cloud web hosting service. Let's get back to the shared web site hosting plans, which are driven by a real cloud webspace hosting system. With a shared web space hosting package, each client pays only for his/her plan, thus retaining the site hosting price amazingly low (because plenty of users use the same web hosting server). In a few words, a shared hosting plan, which runs on a cloud website hosting platform, enables you to pay solely for the reserves that you really need, averting a situation where you pay for a high-end website hosting plan that you cannot really utilize, or for a low-end web hosting package that cannot accommodate your website. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with only 2 clicks of the mouse grants you the flexibility to begin with a small package and upgrade as your web presence grows. Hence, you economize cash that you can invest in publicizing the web page while it is still new. Each hosting account delivered by 'Web-Cheapo' offers an online website builder and more than forty popular script-driven software applications including WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you 100s of dollars for web site design solutions. 'Web-Cheapo' offers shared web space hosting services in several different geographical regions around the World. There is one data center facility in Chicago covering the United States of America and Canada; 2 European datacenter facilities - in the United Kingdom and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia-Pacific region. In this way, approximately the whole planet is covered to provide you and your site's visitors with a stable and reliable website hosting service at a convenient place. All in all, the shared hosting accounts supplied 'Web-Cheapo' are really well appointed and are available at a good price (starting from $4.67 for the Business plan).

Semi-dedicated Web Hosting Servers

To customers with little or no practice, a virtual hosting server may seem problematic to handle. That's probably why 'Web-Cheapo' also offers semi-dedicated servers in its main United States datacenter in Chicago. Handling these accounts is comparable to handling a regular shared web site hosting plan via a website hosting CP interface. They have all the functionalities of a shared web space hosting plan such as a free-of-charge web site building tool and a script installation tool, but the amount of system resources offered by a semi-dedicated web hosting server package is many times greater than that of a shared web hosting package. For example, the CPU power that can be utilized is approximately FIVE times as much as compared to the shared web site hosting accounts. When juxtaposed to a shared site hosting package, the number of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting accounts is big: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted TLD allowance is a principle as well. The semi-dedicated server web hosting plans do not ship with complete server root access (we, at retrojesus.com, deem this a slight weakness), but the plus is that they are administered via the same hosting Control Panel interface as the shared web page hosting plans. This means that a recognizable graphical user interface is available to all customers who do not feel confident enough to manage a virtual server, but at the same time demand more power and reserves than a VPS can furnish them with. This is like that because the semi-dedicated hosting servers share the reserves of the same powerful high-class hosting servers as the ones which host the VPS hosting server plans, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is very small (somewhere between twenty to thirty per physical machine), while the virtual servers can reach a much higher number (80 to 120 per physical machine). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers furnished by 'Web-Cheapo' can be defined as being amazingly inexpensive (as far as price is concerned), commencing from $20.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 plan.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

In retrojesus.com's opinion, large web sites such as social networks, community and corporate web portals or popular online stores with 1000s of clients demand a much more powerful web site hosting solution. It seems that the guys from 'Web-Cheapo' have reached the same conclusion too. To meet its customers' anticipations, 'Web-Cheapo' provides an assortment of dedicated servers that can cope with millions of daily hits. That estimation stands on the hardware specs the dedicated servers ship with: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to 4 gigabytes of RAM, two thousand GB of data storage and Gigabit network cards will no doubt ensure the fast and stable performance of any type of web site. According to 'Web-Cheapo', the original hardware specs can be upgraded for more resource-demanding web sites. We, from retrojesus.com, think that all dedicated server configurations furnished by 'Web-Cheapo' are also appropriate for setting up a hosting reseller business as each and every dedicated hosting server arrives with free-of-charge billing software platform and a free domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated servers supplied by 'Web-Cheapo' are all unmanaged. We, at retrojesus.com, count this as a minor disadvantage, which can be corrected by paying a monthly fee of $32.00 USD. So, if you need aid, the Managed Services upgrade offers a handful of supplementary services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. A selection of website hosting CP (CP) tools are available with each of the hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (retrojesus.com's) prognosis is that the splendid point and click File Manager added in the Hepsia webspace hosting Control Panel will possibly render the utilization of any File Transfer Protocol software futile. Our (retrojesus.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers delivered by 'Web-Cheapo' don't appear to be very low priced (still the Hepsia website hosting CP and the unlimited hosted domain name quotas will undoubtedly make you smile), starting from $80.00 for the Xeon E3 v5 plan.
