A survey of 9 Cube Hosting

We, at echonetworks.net, have chosen '9 Cube Hosting' to be our current domain name and web hosting provider. Therefore we think that this succinct assessment of '9 Cube Hosting' is probably going to be quite useful for other folks from all around the Globe who seek domain name and web hosting services. We say individuals from all around the World, since the mere truth is that '9 Cube Hosting' currently offers domain and hosting services in several server farm facility sites: in the USA (Chicago, IL), in the United Kingdom (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, encompassing almost the entire planet. At least from the point of view of the World Wide Web. So, here is what you could expect from '9 Cube Hosting' in short:

Shared Web Hosting Services

The initial thing we, at echonetworks.net, have detected is the modest prices of the shared web site hosting solutions provided by '9 Cube Hosting'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared web hosting. The good thing here is that the site hosting plans furnished by '9 Cube Hosting' are driven by an in-house created, cutting edge cloud web hosting solution (each web hosting service, like email, databases, web site hosting Control Panel, data storage, DNS, stats, etc., is being tackled by a separate stack of hosting servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance EVERY cPanel web hosting corporation in the World will have considerable complications with, because cPanel is a one-server based site hosting environment (each web hosting service, like email, databases, CP, storage space, DNS, stats, etc., is being run on one single web server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel-based site hosting providers cannot include additional functionality and manipulate it the way they need it) and there is no open source file platform (they must construct their own file platform), which is the precondition of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared web site hosting plans, which are driven by an authentic clustered web page hosting platform. With a shared website hosting package, each client pays just for his/her plan, thus preserving the web space hosting price very low (because numerous users are hosted on one and the same web server). To cut a long story short, a shared hosting package, which is being served by a clustered hosting solution, enables you to pay only for the reserves that you really demand, evading a scenario where you pay for a feature-rich web hosting account that you cannot actually use, or for a low-end website hosting package that cannot handle your website. The option to upgrade your account from one plan to another with only two clicks of the mouse grants you the flexibility to kick off with a small plan and upgrade as your site expands. Thus, you economize funds that you can invest in publicizing the web page while it is still new. Each and every webspace hosting plan supplied by '9 Cube Hosting' arrives with an online website builder and more than 40 widely used script-driven software applications such as WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you hundreds of dollars for web page design solutions. '9 Cube Hosting' delivers shared web hosting packages in several different countries across the Globe. There is one datacenter facility in Chicago encompassing the USA and Canada; 2 European datacenters - in Britain and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia-Pacific. Thus, almost the whole Globe is covered to provide you and your site's visitors with a steady and reliable site hosting solution at a preferred place. As a whole, the shared hosting services provided '9 Cube Hosting' are very well stocked and come at a budget price (starting from $2.92 for the Basic package).

Semi-dedicated Servers

To customers with little or no practice, a VPS server may appear tough to handle. That's probably why '9 Cube Hosting' also houses semi-dedicated servers in its principal American server farm in Chicago. Managing these accounts is similar to managing a standard shared website hosting plan through a web hosting Control Panel interface. They have all the features of a shared web hosting account such as a fee-free website building tool and a script installation tool, but the amount of system resources provided by a semi-dedicated server web hosting account is many times bigger than that of a shared website hosting package. For instance, the central processing unit power that can be utilized is approximately 5 times as much as compared to the shared web hosting accounts. When contrasted with a shared webspace hosting account, the quota of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is great: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted top-level domain name quota is a standard as well. The semi-dedicated web server hosting accounts do not offer full root privileges (we, at echonetworks.net, consider this a small drawback), but the benefit is that they are administered through the same web page hosting Control Panel GUI as the shared hosting plans. This suggests that a recognizable graphical interface is available to all customers who are not confident enough to administer a VPS, yet require more power and system resources than a virtual web server can bestow on them. This is so due to the fact that the semi-dedicated web hosting servers share the reserves of the same powerful ultramodern web servers as the ones which accommodate the virtual private web server plans, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is very small (somewhere between twenty to 30 per physical machine), while the private virtual web hosting servers can reach a much bigger number (80 to one hundred and twenty per physical machine). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers supplied by '9 Cube Hosting' can be defined as being quite affordable (as far as cost is concerned), starting from $19.99 for the Semi Dedicated 1 plan.

Dedicated Web Servers

In echonetworks.net's opinion, big sites such as social networks, community and business portals or famous online storefronts with 1000s of customers demand a much more powerful hosting environment. It appears that the chaps from '9 Cube Hosting' have reached the same conclusion as well. To answer its users' needs, '9 Cube Hosting' delivers an assortment of dedicated web servers that can handle millions of daily hits. That estimation is based on the hardware specifications the web servers boast: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to four GB of RAM, 2000 GB of data storage and Gigabit NICs will beyond doubt guarantee the quick and steady performance of any sort of site. In '9 Cube Hosting's opinion, the original hardware configurations can be upgraded for more resource-demanding sites. We, from echonetworks.net, believe that all dedicated server configurations offered by '9 Cube Hosting' are also suitable for launching a hosting reseller business as each and every hosting server offers free invoicing transaction software platform and a free domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated web hosting servers delivered by '9 Cube Hosting' are all unmanaged. We, at echonetworks.net, count this as a tiny defect, which can be righted by paying a monthly tax of $35.99 USD. So, if you demand support, the Managed Services upgrade offers a bouquet of extra services such as a regular backup, software installation, dedicated web server monitoring and troubleshooting operations. An assortment of web space hosting CP (CP) interfaces are available with each of the servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (echonetworks.net's) prediction is that the magnificent drag-and-drop File Manager offered by the Hepsia webspace hosting CP will possibly render the utilization of any File Transfer Protocol software program useless. Our (echonetworks.net's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers supplied by '9 Cube Hosting' don't seem to be very affordably priced (still the Hepsia site hosting CP and the unlimited hosted domain allowance will no doubt make you smile), beginning from $44.99 for the Atom 2c package.
