A survey of CrescentGate

We, at mawakanhausa.com, have selected 'CrescentGate' to be our present domain name and web hosting distributor. Hence we imagine that this short evaluation of 'CrescentGate' is perchance going to be quite useful for other people from all around the World in search for domain name and web hosting solutions. We state individuals from all over the World, since the simple fact is that 'CrescentGate' presently offers domain and hosting services in multiple server farm sites: in the USA (Chicago, IL), in Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, covering virtually the entire Earth. At least as far as the Internet is concerned. So, here is what you could expect from 'CrescentGate' in brief:

Shared Web Page Hosting Solutions

The first thing we, at mawakanhausa.com, have seen is the affordable prices of the shared web space hosting packages provided by 'CrescentGate'. 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 hosting packages delivered by 'CrescentGate' are powered by a custom designed, ultramodern cloud web hosting platform (each hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, site hosting CP, data storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being handled by a separate group of hosting servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance EVERY cPanel web hosting firm on the Earth will have colossal complications with, since cPanel is a one-server based webspace hosting environment (each hosting service, like mail, databases, web hosting CP, data storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being served by one and the same web hosting server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel-based site hosting suppliers are not able to include new functionality and manipulate it the way they want it) and there is no open source file platform (they have to make their own file platform), which is the foundation of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared site hosting packages, which are powered by an actual cloud website hosting system. With a shared web hosting account, each customer pays just for his/her package, thus keeping the website hosting price amazingly low (since numerous clients share the same web server). In a nutshell, a shared hosting plan, which is hosted on a cloud web site hosting system, enables you to pay solely for the reserves that you really demand, avoiding a scenario where you pay for a high-end webspace hosting account that you cannot really utilize, or for a low-end webspace hosting plan that cannot handle your web page. The ability to upgrade your account from one plan to another with only 2 clicks of the mouse gives you the flexibility to begin with a small plan and upgrade as your online presence expands. So, you save money that you can expend on publicizing the website while it is still brand new. Each and every web hosting account delivered by 'CrescentGate' offers an online site builder and over forty widely used script platforms including WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you hundreds of dollars for web site design solutions. 'CrescentGate' supplies shared site hosting plans in several different geographical regions across the Globe. There is one data center facility in Chicago covering the USA and Canada; 2 European datacenters - in the United Kingdom and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia Pacific region. In this way, virtually the entire Globe is encompassed to supply you and your website's visitors with a steady and dependable site hosting service at a convenient location. On the whole, the shared hosting solutions offered 'CrescentGate' are very well stocked and come at an excellent price (starting from $6.25 for the Starter plan).

Semi-dedicated Web Hosting Servers

To people with little or no practice, a VPS server may seem tough to administer. That's perhaps why 'CrescentGate' also keeps semi-dedicated hosting servers in its main North American data center in Chicago. Managing these accounts is comparable to managing a normal shared webspace hosting plan through a site hosting CP GUI. They have all the specs of a shared site hosting package such as a fee-free website building tool and a script installation tool, but the system resource quota typical of a semi-dedicated web server hosting plan is many times bigger than that of a shared web page hosting plan. For instance, the CPU power that can be utilized is nearly 5 times as much as compared to the shared plans. When juxtaposed to a shared web space hosting plan, the number of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is big: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted domain quota is a trend as well. The semi-dedicated web server packages do not arrive with server root access (we, at mawakanhausa.com, count this as a little weak point), but the benefit is that they are administered via the very same hosting CP user interface as the shared web space hosting plans. This implies that a well-known graphical interface is offered to all customers who do not feel self-confident enough to manage a virtual web hosting server, yet need more power and reserves than a VPS web hosting server can supply them with. This is like that because of the fact that the semi-dedicated web servers share the system resources of the very same powerful ultramodern servers as the ones which accommodate the virtual web server packages, however, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is quite small (somewhere between 20 to 30 per physical server), while the virtual private web servers can reach a much greater number (eighty to one hundred and twenty per physical machine). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers furnished by 'CrescentGate' can be defined as being quite affordable (as far as cost is concerned), starting from $40.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 plan.

Dedicated Servers

In mawakanhausa.com's opinion, large web pages such as social networks, community and business web portals or famous online stores with thousands of customers demand a much more powerful web hosting platform. It seems that the fellows from 'CrescentGate' have come to the same conclusion too. To fulfil its clients' anticipations, 'CrescentGate' supplies an assortment of dedicated servers that can tackle millions of daily visits. That evaluation stands on the hardware configurations the web servers sport: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to 4 GB of RAM, 2000 GB of web space and Gigabit network cards will no doubt guarantee the fast and steady performance of any kind of web site. According to 'CrescentGate', the original hardware specs can be upgraded for more resource-requiring sites. We, from mawakanhausa.com, consider that all dedicated server specs furnished by 'CrescentGate' are also appropriate for launching a hosting reseller business as each web hosting server comes with free invoice transaction software platform and a charge-free domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated servers delivered by 'CrescentGate' are all unmanaged. We, at mawakanhausa.com, count this as a little inconvenience, which can be adjusted by paying a monthly tax of $32.00 USD. So, if you are in need of aid, the Managed Services upgrade offers a few extra services such as a regular backup, software installation, hosting server surveillance and troubleshooting operations. A handful of hosting CP (CP) GUIs are available with each of the dedicated web servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (mawakanhausa.com's) forecast is that the splendid drag and drop File Manager available in the Hepsia website hosting CP will perhaps render the utilization of any File Transfer Protocol software pointless. Our (mawakanhausa.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers offered by 'CrescentGate' don't seem to be very affordably priced (still the Hepsia webspace hosting CP and the unlimited hosted domain name allowance will doubtlessly make you smile), starting from $40.00 for the Atom 2c package.
