An assessment of yourWEBit

We, at asura.social, have selected 'yourWEBit' to be our present domain name and hosting vendor. Therefore we deem that this short evaluation of 'yourWEBit' is probably going to be quite helpful for other people from all around the Globe in search for domain name and web hosting solutions. We say individuals from all over the World, since the simple truth is that 'yourWEBit' currently furnishes domain and hosting services in numerous data center sites: in America (Chicago, IL), in Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, encompassing nearly the whole planet. At least as far as the Internet is concerned. So, here is what you could expect from 'yourWEBit' in short:

Shared Hosting Plans

The first thing we, at asura.social, have discerned is the cheap prices of the shared website hosting plans supplied by 'yourWEBit'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared hosting. The good thing here is that the webspace hosting packages offered by 'yourWEBit' are driven by an in-house designed, advanced cloud web hosting platform (each web hosting service, like electronic mail, databases, web page hosting Control Panel, data storage, DNS, stats, and so on, is being run on a separate bunch of web hosting servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance EVERY cPanel web hosting company on the Globe will have huge predicaments with, because cPanel is a one-server based web hosting environment (each web hosting service, such as mail, databases, web hosting CP, disk space, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being served by one single web server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel web site hosting firms are not able to add new functionality and manipulate it the way they want it) and there is no open source file platform (they must invent their own file system), which is the premise of any cloud web hosting service. Let's get back to the shared webspace hosting accounts, which are powered by an authentic clustered web page hosting solution. With a shared webspace hosting plan, each customer pays solely for his/her account, thus keeping the web site hosting price amazingly low (since lots of customers utilize the same hosting server). To cut a long story short, a shared hosting package, which is being served by a clustered web site hosting platform, allows you to pay only for the resources that you actually demand, precluding a scenario where you pay for an advanced web hosting package that you cannot truly use, or for a basic web space hosting account that cannot shelter your web site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with only two mouse clicks gives you the flexibility to commence with a small plan and upgrade as your Internet presence expands. Hence, you spare money that you can spend on publicizing the website while it is still brand new. Every hosting plan delivered by 'yourWEBit' includes an online website builder and over forty popular script-driven software applications among them WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you hundreds of dollars for web page design solutions. 'yourWEBit' provides shared hosting solutions in a number of different countries around the Globe. There is one data center in Chicago covering the USA and Canada; two European server farm facilities - in the United Kingdom and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia Pacific region. Hence, approximately the whole World is encompassed to provide you and your web site's visitors with a stable and reliable web page hosting service at a nearby location. As a whole, the shared hosting plans offered 'yourWEBit' are really well appointed and come at an attractive price (starting from $4.00 for the Starter plan).

Semi-dedicated Web Servers

To customers with little or no experience, a VPS may appear difficult to administer. That's perhaps why 'yourWEBit' also hosts semi-dedicated web hosting servers in its main US datacenter in Chicago. Administering these accounts is similar to administering a typical shared web space hosting plan via a website hosting CP user interface. They have all the functionalities of a shared webspace hosting plan such as a free-of-cost web site builder and a web application installation tool, but the amount of system resources offered by a semi-dedicated server hosting package is many times larger than that of a shared website hosting package. For example, the CPU power that can be utilized is approximately FIVE times as much as compared with the shared web site hosting accounts. When contrasted with a shared web page hosting package, the quota of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is immense: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted Top-Level Domain allowance is a norm as well. The semi-dedicated web server plans do not include full server root privileges (we, at asura.social, think that this is a slight inconvenience), but the advantage is that they are managed through the same hosting CP user interface as the shared web hosting plans. This hints that a familiar graphical interface is offered to all clients who are not self-confident enough to administer a virtual web hosting server, but at the same time need more power and features than a VPS can provide them with. This is so because of the fact that the semi-dedicated web hosting servers share the resources of the same powerful first-class hosting servers as the ones which host the virtual server accounts, however, the number of the semi-dedicated hosting servers is very low (somewhere between twenty to thirty per physical machine), while the VPSs can reach a much higher number (80 to a hundred and twenty per server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers furnished by 'yourWEBit' can be defined as being amazingly cheap (as far as price is concerned), commencing from $40.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 package.

Dedicated Servers

According to asura.social, enormous websites such as social networks, community and business web portals or famous online stores with thousands of clients require a much more powerful web page hosting solution. It appears that the blokes from 'yourWEBit' have arrived at the same conclusion as well. To satisfy its clients' needs, 'yourWEBit' delivers an assortment of dedicated web servers that can manage millions of daily visits. That estimate stands on the hardware configurations the web servers have: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to 4 gigabytes 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 'yourWEBit', the primary hardware configurations can be upgraded for more resource-demanding sites. We, from asura.social, consider that all dedicated server plans delivered by 'yourWEBit' are also suitable for commencing a hosting reseller business as each server offers free-of-cost invoice transaction software and a complimentary domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated web servers offered by 'yourWEBit' are all unmanaged. We, at asura.social, consider this a small defect, which can be rectified by paying a monthly tax which amounts to $36.00 USD. So, if you demand help, the Managed Services upgrade offers a few extra services such as a regular backup, software installation, dedicated hosting server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. A number of hosting Control Panel (CP) tools are offered with each of the web servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (asura.social's) prognosis is that the magnificent point-and-click File Manager offered by the Hepsia site hosting Control Panel will probably make the use of any File Transfer Protocol software program futile. Our (asura.social's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers delivered by 'yourWEBit' don't appear to be very inexpensive (still the Hepsia web hosting CP and the unlimited hosted domain name allowance will doubtlessly make you smile), starting from $127.00 for the Xeon Scalable 6c plan.
