A review of WNS Hosting

We, at dahlen.uk, have selected 'WNS Hosting' to be our present domain name and web hosting distributor. Hence we consider that this brief assessment of 'WNS Hosting' is probably going to be quite useful for other folks from all around the World who need domain name and web hosting services. We state people from all around the World, since the simple fact is that 'WNS Hosting' presently offers domain and hosting services in multiple data center facility sites: in the USA (Chicago, IL), in Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, encompassing virtually the whole World. At least as far as the Internet is concerned. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'WNS Hosting' in a nutshell:

Shared Webspace Hosting Plans

The first detail we, at dahlen.uk, have detected is the affordable prices of the shared web space hosting packages furnished by 'WNS Hosting'. 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 site hosting accounts furnished by 'WNS Hosting' are powered by a custom devised, ultramodern cloud web hosting solution (each hosting service, like mail, databases, website hosting Control Panel, disk storage, DNS, stats, etc., is being tackled by an autonomous bunch of web hosting servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting vendor in the World will have great difficulties with, since cPanel is a one-server based web hosting platform (each web hosting service, like email, databases, hosting Control Panel, disk space, DNS, stats, and so on, is being served by a single web server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel webspace hosting companies are not able to add additional functionality and manipulate it the way they need it) and there is no open source file system (they must invent their own file system), which is the premise of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared web hosting packages, which are powered by an actual clustered web page hosting platform. With a shared web site hosting plan, each client pays only for his/her plan, thus retaining the hosting price amazingly low (because numerous users are hosted on one and the same web server). In a nutshell, a shared hosting account, which is being served by a clustered web space hosting platform, permits you to pay just for the resources that you actually demand, averting a situation where you pay for a powerful web site hosting package that you cannot really use, or for a tiny site hosting plan that cannot accommodate your site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one plan to another with just 2 clicks of the mouse gives you the flexibility to kick off with a basic plan and upgrade as your online presence grows. Hence, you economize funds that you can invest in publicizing the website while it is still new. Each web page hosting plan supplied by 'WNS Hosting' arrives with an online site building tool and over forty popular script platforms like WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you hundreds of dollars for website design services. 'WNS Hosting' furnishes shared web page hosting accounts in a number of different regions across the World. There is one datacenter in Chicago encompassing the USA and Canada; two European datacenter facilities - in England and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia-Pacific region. That way, almost the whole Globe is covered to supply you and your site's visitors with a stable and dependable web page hosting service at a convenient location. On the whole, the shared hosting accounts delivered 'WNS Hosting' are very well appointed and are available at a budget price (beginning from $2.92 for the Tiny plan).

Semi-dedicated Web Hosting Servers

To clients with little or no practice, a VPS server may appear troublesome to manage. That's perhaps why 'WNS Hosting' also hosts semi-dedicated web hosting servers in its main American datacenter in Chicago. Managing these plans is comparable to handling a typical shared package via a CP tool. They have all the specs of a shared web hosting account such as a fee-free website building tool and a web app installer, but the amount of system resources typical of a semi-dedicated hosting plan is many times greater than that of a shared account. For instance, the central processing unit power that can be used is nearly 5 times as much as compared with the shared web site hosting accounts. When compared with a shared web hosting package, the quota of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is huge: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted Top-Level Domain quota is a trend as well. The semi-dedicated server web hosting packages do not offer full server root access (we, at dahlen.uk, deem this a minor weakness), but the advantage is that they are managed through the very same website hosting Control Panel user interface as the shared web page hosting accounts. This goes to say that a user-friendly GUI is offered to all clients who do not feel confident enough to administer a virtual private hosting server, yet need more power and reserves than a virtual private web hosting server can confer to them. This is like that owing to the fact that the semi-dedicated web servers share the reserves of the very same powerful first-rate web hosting servers as the ones which accommodate the Virtual Private Server packages, however, the number of the semi-dedicated servers is very small (somewhere between 20 to 30 per server), whereas the VPSs can reach a much greater number (80 to a hundred and twenty per server). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers delivered by 'WNS Hosting' can be labeled as being amazingly affordable (as far as cost is concerned), commencing from $20.00 for the Fast plan.

Dedicated Servers

In dahlen.uk's opinion, big websites such as social networks, community and corporate portals or famous web stores with 1000s of customers need a much more powerful web space hosting platform. It seems that the guys from 'WNS Hosting' have arrived at the same conclusion too. To meet its users' requirements, 'WNS Hosting' supplies a collection of dedicated hosting servers that can cope with millions of daily hits. That evaluation rests on the hardware specifications the web servers are offering: many-core processors, up to four GB of RAM, two thousand GB of disk storage and Gigabit network cards will definitely guarantee the quick and stable performance of any kind of site. In 'WNS Hosting's opinion, the primary hardware specs can be upgraded for more system resource-requiring websites. We, from dahlen.uk, believe that all dedicated server configurations provided by 'WNS Hosting' are also suitable for kickstarting a hosting reseller business as every dedicated web hosting server ships with free-of-charge billing software platform and a free-of-cost domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated web servers provided by 'WNS Hosting' are all unmanaged. We, at dahlen.uk, deem this a tiny weakness, which can be amended by paying a monthly fee of $32.00 USD. So, if you require assistance, the Managed Services upgrade offers an array of additional services such as a regular backup, software installation, dedicated hosting server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. A number of website hosting Control Panel (CP) GUIs are offered with each of the hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (dahlen.uk's) prediction is that the remarkable point-and-click File Manager added in the Hepsia site hosting CP will perhaps make the use of any FTP software program futile. Our (dahlen.uk's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers offered by 'WNS Hosting' don't appear to be very cheap (yet the Hepsia web space hosting CP and the unmetered hosted domain allowance will no doubt make you smile), starting from $40.00 for the Puma package.
