An assessment of HOSTROBO

We, at usmansaleem.net, have picked 'HOSTROBO' to be our current domain name and hosting distributor. Hence we suppose that this concise evaluation of 'HOSTROBO' is probably going to be very useful for other people from all around the World in need of domain name and web hosting services. We state people from all around the Globe, because the simple fact is that 'HOSTROBO' currently furnishes domain and hosting services in several datacenter facility locations: in North America (Chicago, IL), in Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, embracing virtually the whole Globe. At least as far as the Internet is concerned. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'HOSTROBO' in brief:

Shared Web Hosting Plans

The first thing we, at usmansaleem.net, have seen is the low-cost prices of the shared web space hosting services supplied by 'HOSTROBO'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared hosting. The good news here is that the web hosting accounts supplied by 'HOSTROBO' are driven by an in-house designed, state-of-the-art cloud web hosting solution (each hosting service, like email, databases, web page hosting CP, disk storage, DNS, statistics, etc., is being run on an autonomous set of web servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting firm on the Earth will have big problems with, because cPanel is a one-server based website hosting environment (each hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, site hosting Control Panel, web space, DNS, stats, and so on, runs on a single hosting server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel-based web site hosting distributors cannot add new functionality and handle it the way they need it) and there is no open source file platform (they have to make their own file platform), which is the prerequisite of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared site hosting plans, which are driven by an actual clustered webspace hosting solution. With a shared hosting package, each customer pays only for his/her plan, thus preserving the webspace hosting price really low (because plenty of customers use one and the same web hosting server). In a few words, a shared hosting package, which runs on a clustered webspace hosting system, enables you to pay only for the resources that you indeed demand, avoiding a scenario where you pay for an advanced site hosting package that you cannot actually use, or for a small web space hosting account that cannot host your web page. The possibility to upgrade your account from one plan to another with just 2 clicks grants you the flexibility to kick off with a tiny package and upgrade as your website expands. That way, you spare funds that you can spend on advertising the web page while it is still novel. Every web space hosting plan supplied by 'HOSTROBO' arrives with an online website building tool and more than forty popular script-driven platforms including WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you 100s of dollars for web page design solutions. 'HOSTROBO' supplies shared webspace hosting services in several different countries around the Globe. There is one datacenter in Chicago covering the United States and Canada; 2 European server farm facilities - in the United Kingdom and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia Pacific region. In this way, nearly the entire Earth is covered to present you and your site's visitors with a steady and dependable web page hosting service at a desired place. All in all, the shared hosting accounts offered 'HOSTROBO' are very well furnished and are available at a very good price (starting from £2.35 for the Economy package).

Semi-dedicated Hosting Servers

To users with little to no experience, a virtual hosting server may seem complicated to manage. That's probably why 'HOSTROBO' also hosts semi-dedicated web servers in its principal North American server farm in Chicago. Managing these packages is similar to administering a normal shared web hosting account via a website hosting CP interface. They have all the specs of a shared hosting package such as a free-of-charge site building tool and a PHP script installer, but the amount of system resources provided by a semi-dedicated web server hosting plan is many times larger than that of a shared web hosting plan. For example, the central processing unit power that can be used is almost FIVE times as much as compared to the shared web hosting packages. When contrasted with a shared hosting account, the quota of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting accounts is big: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted Top-Level Domain quota is a standard too. The semi-dedicated server hosting packages do not ship with full root privileges (we, at usmansaleem.net, think of this as a minor minus), but the benefit is that they are managed through the very same hosting CP user interface as the shared web space hosting packages. This hints that a well-known graphical user interface is available to all users who do not feel self-confident enough to handle a VPS server, yet require more power and resources than a private virtual web hosting server can offer. This is like that owing to the fact that the semi-dedicated web servers share the reserves of the very same powerful avant-garde hosting servers as the ones which accommodate the private virtual server accounts, still, the number of the semi-dedicated web hosting servers is very low (somewhere between 20 to thirty per physical machine), while the VPS web hosting servers can reach a much higher number (eighty to 120 per physical machine). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers offered by 'HOSTROBO' can be dubbed as being quite cheap (as far as cost is concerned), commencing from £34.22 for the Tall package.

Dedicated Servers

In usmansaleem.net's opinion, huge web sites such as social networks, community and corporate web portals or popular online storefronts with 1000s of customers demand a much more powerful webspace hosting environment. It appears that the guys from 'HOSTROBO' have come to the same conclusion too. To meet its clients' anticipations, 'HOSTROBO' delivers a number of dedicated web hosting servers that can manage millions of daily visits. That estimation is based on the hardware specs the web servers have: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to four GB of RAM, two thousand GB of disk space and Gigabit network interface cards will doubtlessly ensure the fast and stable performance of any type of website. According to 'HOSTROBO', the original hardware configurations can be upgraded for more resource-requiring web sites. We, from usmansaleem.net, believe that all dedicated server accounts delivered by 'HOSTROBO' are also suitable for launching a hosting reseller business as each and every dedicated hosting server offers free-of-charge invoicing transaction software and a bonus domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated hosting servers furnished by 'HOSTROBO' are all unmanaged. We, at usmansaleem.net, deem this a tiny inconvenience, which can be righted by paying a monthly tax of £29.09 GBP. So, if you are in need of support, the Managed Services upgrade provides a bunch of additional services such as a regular backup, software installation, web server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. Several website hosting CP (CP) user interfaces are available with each of the hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (usmansaleem.net's) forecast is that the exceptional point and click File Manager included in the Hepsia web site hosting Control Panel will probably render the utilization of any File Transfer Protocol software program useless. Our (usmansaleem.net's) inference is that the dedicated servers provided by 'HOSTROBO' don't seem to be very affordably priced (yet the Hepsia site hosting CP and the unmetered hosted domain name quotas will doubtlessly make you smile), commencing from £59.88 for the Xeon E3 v3 plan.
