An assessment of NTC Hosting

We, at working-on-it.online, have chosen 'NTC Hosting' to be our current domain and web hosting provider. Therefore we presume that this short review of 'NTC Hosting' is maybe going to be quite useful for other folks from all around the Globe who seek domain name and web hosting solutions. We say people from all over the World, since the mere fact is that 'NTC Hosting' currently distributes domain and hosting services in numerous data center facility sites: in the USA (Chicago, IL), in the UK (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, encompassing nearly the entire planet. At least from the point of view of the World Wide Web. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'NTC Hosting' in a nutshell:

Shared Web Site Hosting Accounts

The initial thing we, at working-on-it.online, have detected is the low prices of the shared web page hosting solutions offered by 'NTC Hosting'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared web hosting. The good thing here is that the web site hosting accounts offered by 'NTC Hosting' are driven by a custom built, state-of-the-art cloud web hosting solution (each web hosting service, such as email, databases, website hosting CP, disk storage, DNS, stats, and so on, is being handled by an individual stack of web hosting servers in a cluster). This is something EVERY cPanel web hosting supplier in the World will have immense troubles with, since cPanel is a one-server based web hosting platform (each hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, hosting CP, storage space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being served by one and the same web hosting server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel hosting companies are unable to add additional functionality and handle it the way they want it) and there is no open source file system (they have to create their own file platform), which is at the bottom of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared site hosting plans, which are driven by a genuine cloud webspace hosting solution. With a shared web space hosting package, each client pays just for his/her account, thus preserving the webspace hosting price very low (because plenty of clients are hosted on the same web hosting server). To cut a long story short, a shared hosting account, which is being served by a cloud web space hosting platform, enables you to pay solely for the resources that you really require, escaping a situation where you pay for a powerful site hosting account that you cannot really utilize, or for a small web space hosting account that cannot host your web site. The option to upgrade your account from one plan to another with only two mouse clicks grants you the flexibility to commence with a low-end plan and upgrade as your web site grows. Thus, you spare cash that you can expend on advertising the web site while it is still novel. Every website hosting package supplied by 'NTC Hosting' ships with an online site builder and more than forty widely used script software applications such as WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you 100s of dollars for web design services. 'NTC Hosting' delivers shared web hosting plans in a number of different regions around the World. There is one server farm facility in Chicago encompassing the USA and Canada; two European data center facilities - in the UK and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia Pacific. Thus, nearly the entire Earth is covered to supply you and your website's visitors with a steady and reliable web page hosting solution at a convenient location. Altogether, the shared hosting accounts delivered 'NTC Hosting' are very well furnished and are available at a very cheap price (beginning from $4.95 for the Budget package).

Semi-dedicated Servers

To users with little to no practice, a Virtual Private Server may appear difficult to manage. That's perhaps why 'NTC Hosting' also offers semi-dedicated web hosting servers in its principal United States datacenter facility in Chicago. Handling these plans is comparable to handling a regular shared hosting account through a web hosting Control Panel user interface. They have all the features of a shared webspace hosting plan such as a free-of-cost website building tool and a script installer, but the system resource quota provided by a semi-dedicated web server hosting account is many times bigger than that of a shared webspace hosting account. For instance, the central processing unit power that can be utilized is about 5 times as much as compared with the shared web space hosting packages. When compared with a shared plan, the quota of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is huge: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted top-level domain name quota is a pattern too. The semi-dedicated web server accounts do not include complete root access (we, at working-on-it.online, think of this as a tiny weak point), but the plus is that they are managed via the same web page hosting Control Panel GUI as the shared hosting accounts. This indicates that a user-friendly graphical environment is accessible by all customers who are not self-confident enough to administer a virtual private hosting server, yet require more power and resources than a VPS server can confer to them. This is like that owing to the fact that the semi-dedicated web servers share the reserves of the very same powerful high-end hosting servers as the ones which accommodate the VPS web server accounts, however, the number of the semi-dedicated web hosting servers is very small (somewhere between 20 to thirty per server), while the virtual web servers can reach a much greater number (80 to one hundred and twenty per physical machine). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers furnished by 'NTC Hosting' can be dubbed as being amazingly affordable (as far as cost is concerned), commencing from $35.95 for the Pioneer plan.

Dedicated Servers

In working-on-it.online's opinion, large websites such as social networks, community and business portals or popular web shops with thousands of customers call for a much more powerful webspace hosting environment. It seems that the fellows from 'NTC Hosting' have reached the same conclusion as well. To meet its customers' requirements, 'NTC Hosting' provides an array of dedicated web hosting servers that can handle millions of daily hits. That evaluation stands on the hardware specifications the dedicated hosting servers have: multi-core processors, up to four GB of RAM, two thousand GB of storage space and Gigabit network interface cards will beyond doubt ensure the fast and stable work of any type of site. According to 'NTC Hosting', the primary hardware specs can be upgraded for more resource-demanding sites. We, from working-on-it.online, deem that all dedicated server accounts offered by 'NTC Hosting' are also suitable for starting a hosting reseller business as every web hosting server arrives with free-of-charge invoicing software platform and a charge-free domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated web hosting servers offered by 'NTC Hosting' are all unmanaged. We, at working-on-it.online, think of this as a small weakness, which can be adjusted by paying a monthly tax which amounts to $32.00 USD. So, if you are in need of aid, the Managed Services upgrade provides a handful of supplementary services such as a regular backup, software installation, web server monitoring and troubleshooting operations. A number of web space hosting CP (CP) interfaces are offered with each of the web servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (working-on-it.online's) prediction is that the splendid drag and drop File Manager added in the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel will possibly render the recourse to any File Transfer Protocol software program futile. Our (working-on-it.online's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers supplied by 'NTC Hosting' don't appear to be very cheap (yet the Hepsia webspace hosting CP and the unlimited hosted domain quotas will undoubtedly make you smile), starting from $40.00 for the Gold 1 plan.
