A survey of DuoHosting.net

We, at oceanisrobotics.com.sg, have chosen 'DuoHosting.net' to be our present domain and hosting distributor. Hence we anticipate that this short review of 'DuoHosting.net' is probably going to be quite useful for other individuals from all around the Globe who are searching for domain name and web hosting services. We say individuals from all around the World, since the simple fact is that 'DuoHosting.net' currently offers domain and hosting services in numerous server farm locations: in the US (Chicago, IL), in the UK (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). That way, encompassing nearly the entire Earth. At least as far as the Internet is concerned. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'DuoHosting.net' in a few words:

Shared Hosting Accounts

The first detail we, at oceanisrobotics.com.sg, have perceived is the budget prices of the shared web space hosting services delivered by 'DuoHosting.net'. 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 website hosting plans supplied by 'DuoHosting.net' are driven by a custom developed, leading edge cloud web hosting solution (each hosting service, like email, databases, web site hosting Control Panel, storage space, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being run on a different bunch of web servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance EVERY cPanel web hosting supplier on the Globe will have enormous complications with, since cPanel is a single server based site hosting environment (each web hosting service, such as mail, databases, web page hosting CP, disk storage, DNS, stats, etc., is being dealt with by a single web hosting server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel-based site hosting distributors cannot add additional functionality and manipulate it the way they want it) and there is no open source file system (they have to develop their own file platform), which is the premise of any cloud web hosting service. Let's get back to the shared webspace hosting plans, which are powered by a genuine clustered web page hosting system. With a shared website hosting package, each customer pays only for his/her plan, thus maintaining the hosting price really low (because many clients utilize one and the same hosting server). In short, a shared hosting package, which runs on a cloud site hosting platform, enables you to pay solely for the resources that you indeed require, refraining from a scenario where you pay for a powerful webspace hosting plan that you cannot actually use, or for a tiny hosting plan that cannot shelter your web page. The possibility to upgrade your account from one plan to another with just two clicks of the mouse grants you the flexibility to start with a tiny plan and upgrade as your Internet presence expands. Hence, you save money that you can spend on advertising the website while it is still novel. Each and every site hosting package delivered by 'DuoHosting.net' boasts an online site building tool and more than forty popular script-driven platforms such as WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you 100s of dollars for web design services. 'DuoHosting.net' provides shared web page hosting packages in several different regions around the Globe. There is one data center facility in Chicago encompassing the USA and Canada; two European server farm facilities - in the UK and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia-Pacific region. In this way, approximately the entire Globe is encompassed to present you and your visitors with a steady and fast website hosting solution at a preferred place. Altogether, the shared hosting plans supplied 'DuoHosting.net' are quite well furnished and come at an affordable price (beginning from $5.12 for the Business plan).

Dedicated Servers

In oceanisrobotics.com.sg's opinion, enormous web pages such as social networks, community and business portals or popular web stores with thousands of customers need a much more powerful website hosting environment. It appears that the folks from 'DuoHosting.net' have drawn the same conclusion too. To live up to its users' requirements, 'DuoHosting.net' provides a number of dedicated servers that can tackle millions of daily visits. That estimate stands on the hardware configurations the servers have: multi-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, two thousand GB of web space and Gigabit NICs will definitely ensure the quick and steady performance of any kind of website. In 'DuoHosting.net's opinion, the original hardware specifications can be upgraded for more system resource-requiring web sites. We, from oceanisrobotics.com.sg, think that all dedicated server solutions provided by 'DuoHosting.net' are also suitable for starting a hosting reseller business as each hosting server offers free-of-cost invoicing transaction software platform and a free domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated servers supplied by 'DuoHosting.net' are all unmanaged. We, at oceanisrobotics.com.sg, think of this as a small weakness, which can be corrected by paying a monthly fee of $32.00 USD. So, if you require help, the Managed Services upgrade provides a bunch of supplementary services such as a regular backup, software installation, dedicated server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. A bunch of web page hosting Control Panel (CP) user interfaces are available with each of the servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (oceanisrobotics.com.sg's) prediction is that the superb point-and-click File Manager offered by the Hepsia webspace hosting CP will perhaps make the use of any File Transfer Protocol software program futile. Our (oceanisrobotics.com.sg's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers furnished by 'DuoHosting.net' don't appear to be very modestly priced (yet the Hepsia site hosting Control Panel and the unmetered hosted domain allowance will undoubtedly make you smile), commencing from $143.00 for the Xeon Scalable 8c package.
