A survey of Getya Hosting

We, at rideontheweb.com, have chosen 'Getya Hosting' to be our present domain and hosting vendor. Hence we presume that this succinct review of 'Getya Hosting' is perchance going to be quite helpful for other folks from all around the World who seek domain name and web hosting solutions. We say people from all over the Globe, because the mere fact is that 'Getya Hosting' currently distributes domain and hosting services in numerous data center facility locations: in the United States of America (Chicago, IL), in Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, encompassing practically the entire planet. At least from the point of view of the World Wide Web. So, here is what you could expect from 'Getya Hosting' in a few words:

Shared Hosting Services

The first detail we, at rideontheweb.com, have spotted is the modest prices of the shared web hosting accounts delivered by 'Getya Hosting'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared web hosting. The good news here is that the web site hosting plans supplied by 'Getya Hosting' are driven by a custom developed, ultramodern cloud web hosting platform (each hosting service, such as mail, databases, web page hosting CP, web space, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being tackled by an independent stack of servers in a cluster). This is something EVERY cPanel web hosting company on the Earth will have colossal predicaments with, because cPanel is a one single server based web space hosting platform (each hosting service, such as mail, databases, hosting CP, web space, DNS, statistics, etc., runs on one single hosting server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel-based web space hosting corporations are unable to include extra functionality and handle it the way they need it) and there is no open source file system (they have to make their own file system), which is the basis of any cloud web hosting service. Let's get back to the shared web site hosting packages, which are driven by a real clustered hosting solution. With a shared web hosting account, each customer pays only for his/her package, thus retaining the webspace hosting price amazingly low (because lots of users use one and the same web hosting server). In a nutshell, a shared hosting plan, which is hosted on a clustered site hosting platform, enables you to pay just for the resources that you indeed demand, avoiding a situation where you pay for a powerful website hosting package that you cannot truly use, or for a low-end web site hosting package that cannot shelter your site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with just two mouse clicks gives you the flexibility to kick off with a small package and upgrade as your web page expands. That way, you save capital that you can spend on promoting the website while it is still brand new. Every website hosting account offered by 'Getya Hosting' sports an online website builder and over forty widely used script platforms among them WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you 100s of dollars for website design solutions. 'Getya Hosting' supplies shared web site hosting accounts in a number of different regions across the Globe. There is one server farm in Chicago covering the US and Canada; two European datacenters - in the United Kingdom and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia-Pacific. Hence, virtually the entire World is encompassed to supply you and your visitors with a stable and reliable site hosting service at a nearby place. All in all, the shared hosting plans furnished 'Getya Hosting' are really well appointed and come at a very affordable price (starting from A$7.50 for the Starter package).

Semi-dedicated Servers

To customers with little or no practice, a private virtual server may seem hard to handle. That's perhaps why 'Getya Hosting' also keeps semi-dedicated web servers in its main North American server farm facility in Chicago. Administering these packages is similar to handling a conventional shared webspace hosting account through a web hosting CP tool. They have all the specs of a shared web page hosting plan such as a free web site building tool and a PHP script installer, but the amount of system resources offered by a semi-dedicated web server hosting account is many times bigger than that of a shared web space hosting plan. For instance, the CPU power that can be utilized is nearly 5 times as much as compared to the shared webspace hosting plans. When contrasted with a shared site hosting plan, the number of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is big: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted domain quota is a trend as well. The semi-dedicated server web hosting packages do not arrive with full root-level access (we, at rideontheweb.com, consider this a slight weakness), but the advantage is that they are managed via the same web hosting CP user interface as the shared site hosting accounts. This goes to say that a known graphical interface is offered to all users who do not have enough self-condifence to handle a virtual private hosting server, but at the same time need more power and features than a VPS can offer. This is like that because the semi-dedicated web servers share the resources of the same powerful ultramodern servers as the ones which accommodate the virtual private web server hosting packages, however, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is quite low (somewhere between twenty to thirty per physical machine), whereas the virtual private web servers can reach a much higher number (eighty to one hundred and twenty per physical machine). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers provided by 'Getya Hosting' can be defined as being very cheap (as far as price is concerned), beginning from A$28.67 for the Semi Dedicated 1 plan.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

In rideontheweb.com's opinion, huge sites such as social networks, community and business web portals or famous online shops with thousands of clients request a much more powerful web page hosting environment. It seems that the fellows from 'Getya Hosting' have arrived at the same conclusion too. To satisfy its clients' needs, 'Getya Hosting' supplies an array of dedicated hosting servers that can manage millions of daily hits. That estimate is based on the hardware configurations the web hosting servers come with: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, 2000 GB of web space and Gigabit network interface cards will beyond doubt ensure the quick and steady performance of any type of website. In 'Getya Hosting's opinion, the original hardware specs can be upgraded for more system resource-requiring web sites. We, from rideontheweb.com, think that all dedicated server configurations provided by 'Getya Hosting' are also appropriate for initiating a hosting reseller business as each hosting server comes with free-of-charge invoice transaction software platform and a cost-free domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated hosting servers delivered by 'Getya Hosting' are all unmanaged. We, at rideontheweb.com, count this as a slight drawback, which can be rectified by paying a monthly fee which amounts to A$57.42 AUD. So, if you demand support, the Managed Services upgrade includes a selection of extra services such as a regular backup, software installation, hosting server surveillance and troubleshooting operations. An array of web page hosting CP (CP) interfaces are available with each of the dedicated servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (rideontheweb.com's) forecast is that the splendid point-and-click File Manager included in the Hepsia web hosting CP will possibly render the use of any File Transfer Protocol client pointless. Our (rideontheweb.com's) inference is that the dedicated servers delivered by 'Getya Hosting' don't seem to be very cheap (still the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and the unlimited hosted domain quotas will definitely make you smile), starting from A$71.77 for the Atom 2c plan.
