A survey of AWC Web Services

We, at robertjasonproductions.com, have chosen 'AWC Web Services' to be our current domain and hosting provider. Hence we presume that this concise assessment of 'AWC Web Services' is perhaps going to be very useful for other people from all over the Globe who are looking for domain name and web hosting solutions. We say folks from all over the World, since the mere fact is that 'AWC Web Services' presently distributes domain and hosting services in several datacenter sites: in the United States of America (Chicago, IL), in the UK (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, embracing nearly the entire planet. At least as far as the World Wide Web is concerned. So, here is what you could expect from 'AWC Web Services' in a few words:

Shared Website Hosting Solutions

The initial thing we, at robertjasonproductions.com, have noted is the affordable prices of the shared website hosting solutions supplied by 'AWC Web Services'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared hosting. The good news here is that the hosting packages furnished by 'AWC Web Services' are powered by an in-house devised, leading edge cloud web hosting solution (each web hosting service, like email, databases, web space hosting Control Panel, storage space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being dealt with by a different pack of servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance EVERY cPanel web hosting provider on the Globe will have colossal troubles with, since cPanel is a one single server based web site hosting environment (each hosting service, like email, databases, hosting CP, disk storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, runs on a single web server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel webspace hosting vendors are unable to include extra functionality and handle it the way they need it) and there is no open source file system (they need to design their own file system), which is at the bottom of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared web page hosting packages, which are powered by a genuine clustered web site hosting solution. With a shared web page hosting package, each customer pays solely for his/her account, thus retaining the web hosting price really low (since numerous clients are located on one and the same web server). In brief, a shared hosting package, which runs on a clustered web page hosting solution, enables you to pay only for the resources that you really demand, averting a situation where you pay for a high-end web hosting plan that you cannot really use, or for a small web space hosting plan that cannot host your website. The ability to upgrade your account from one package to another with just two clicks grants you the flexibility to commence with a tiny plan and upgrade as your website grows. Hence, you spare cash that you can spend on promoting the web page while it is still new. Each and every website hosting package delivered by 'AWC Web Services' contains an online website building tool and over forty widely used script software applications among them WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you hundreds of dollars for web design services. 'AWC Web Services' furnishes shared web site hosting solutions in a number of different countries around the World. There is one datacenter in Chicago encompassing the United States and Canada; 2 European server farms - in the United Kingdom and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia-Pacific. Hence, virtually the entire Earth is encompassed to supply you and your web page's visitors with a steady and reliable hosting solution at a preferred place. As a whole, the shared hosting solutions provided 'AWC Web Services' are quite well appointed and are available at a good price (beginning from $4.17 for the Starter plan).

Semi-dedicated Web Hosting Servers

To people with little to no practice, a VPS hosting server may seem troublesome to handle. That's perhaps why 'AWC Web Services' also keeps semi-dedicated hosting servers in its main United States datacenter facility in Chicago. Administering these accounts is similar to handling a typical shared site hosting account through a website hosting CP GUI. They have all the specs of a shared web space hosting plan such as a free-of-cost site building tool and a web app installer, but the system resource quota typical of a semi-dedicated server plan is many times bigger than that of a shared hosting account. For instance, the CPU power that can be utilized is almost 5 times as much as compared to the shared web hosting packages. When compared to a shared hosting package, the number of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is great: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted domain quota is a rule too. The semi-dedicated hosting server packages do not include full server root privileges (we, at robertjasonproductions.com, regard this as a minor downside), but the good point is that they are administered through the same Control Panel user interface as the shared hosting plans. This signifies that a known graphical interface is available to all clients who do not feel confident enough to manage a virtual server, yet need more power and resources than a private virtual web server can provide them with. This is so because the semi-dedicated hosting servers share the system resources of the same powerful first-rate servers as the ones which host the virtual private web server hosting accounts, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated web hosting servers is very low (somewhere between 20 to thirty per physical server), whereas the virtual private web servers can reach a much greater number (eighty to one hundred and twenty per server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers offered by 'AWC Web Services' can be branded as being quite inexpensive (as far as cost is concerned), starting from $25.00 for the Mini plan.

Dedicated Servers

According to robertjasonproductions.com, enormous web sites such as social networks, community and corporate portals or famous web shops with 1000s of customers demand a much more powerful site hosting platform. It seems that the fellows from 'AWC Web Services' have drawn the same conclusion as well. To fulfil its clients' expectations, 'AWC Web Services' delivers an assortment of dedicated web hosting servers that can handle millions of daily hits. That estimate stands on the hardware specs the servers arrive with: many-core processors, up to four GB of RAM, 2000 gigabytes of data storage and Gigabit NICs will no doubt ensure the quick and stable work of any type of site. In 'AWC Web Services's opinion, the original hardware configurations can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding sites. We, from robertjasonproductions.com, think that all dedicated server plans supplied by 'AWC Web Services' are also suitable for launching a hosting reseller business as each and every dedicated server provides free-of-cost billing software platform and a charge-free domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated web servers offered by 'AWC Web Services' are all unmanaged. We, at robertjasonproductions.com, deem this a tiny inconvenience, which can be corrected by paying a monthly tax of $36.00 USD. So, if you need assistance, the Managed Services upgrade provides an array of extra services such as a regular backup, software installation, web hosting server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. Several hosting CP (CP) tools are offered with each of the dedicated web servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (robertjasonproductions.com's) forecast is that the great point and click File Manager included in the Hepsia Control Panel will possibly make the recourse to any File Transfer Protocol software futile. Our (robertjasonproductions.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers furnished by 'AWC Web Services' don't appear to be very inexpensive (still the Hepsia CP and the unlimited hosted domain quotas will no doubt make you smile), beginning from $45.00 for the Atom 2c plan.
