A review of SparkDawn Media WebHosting

We, at thingseternal.org, have chosen 'SparkDawn Media WebHosting' to be our current domain and web hosting vendor. Hence we suppose that this brief evaluation of 'SparkDawn Media WebHosting' is probably going to be quite helpful for other folks from all around the Globe in search for domain name and web hosting solutions. We say folks from all around the Globe, since the simple fact is that 'SparkDawn Media WebHosting' presently supplies domain and hosting services in several data center locations: in America (Chicago, IL), in England (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). That way, encompassing practically the whole Earth. At least as far as the World Wide Web is concerned. So, here is what you could expect from 'SparkDawn Media WebHosting' in short:

Shared Site Hosting Solutions

The first thing we, at thingseternal.org, have discerned is the reasonable prices of the shared site hosting plans furnished by 'SparkDawn Media WebHosting'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared web hosting. The good thing here is that the webspace hosting plans furnished by 'SparkDawn Media WebHosting' are driven by an in-house developed, leading edge cloud web hosting platform (each hosting service, such as email, databases, website hosting Control Panel, disk space, DNS, stats, and so on, is being dealt with by an autonomous pack of servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance EVERY cPanel web hosting supplier on the Globe will have considerable complications with, because cPanel is a single server based web hosting platform (each hosting service, such as mail, databases, website hosting CP, web space, DNS, stats, etc., runs on one single hosting server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel-based web hosting corporations are unable to add new functionality and handle it the way they want it) and there is no open source file platform (they need to set up their own file platform), which is the foundation of any cloud web hosting service. Let's get back to the shared website hosting plans, which are driven by a real clustered hosting solution. With a shared web site hosting plan, each customer pays solely for his/her package, thus preserving the hosting price amazingly low (since lots of customers use one and the same hosting server). In a nutshell, a shared hosting plan, which is being served by a clustered website hosting system, permits you to pay just for the resources that you indeed require, refraining from a situation where you pay for a feature-rich web page hosting plan that you cannot really use, or for a basic hosting package that cannot shelter your web site. The option to upgrade your account from one package to another with just 2 clicks grants you the flexibility to kick off with a basic package and upgrade as your web presence expands. Hence, you save cash that you can invest in promoting the site while it is still novel. Every web page hosting account provided by 'SparkDawn Media WebHosting' offers an online website building tool and more than forty popular script-driven platforms such as WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you hundreds of dollars for web page design solutions. 'SparkDawn Media WebHosting' provides shared web site hosting packages in a number of different countries across the Globe. There is one data center in Chicago covering the United States and Canada; two European datacenters - in Great Britain and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia-Pacific. That way, approximately the whole Globe is covered to provide you and your web site's visitors with a steady and dependable webspace hosting solution at a preferred place. Altogether, the shared hosting solutions furnished 'SparkDawn Media WebHosting' are really well furnished and are available at a low-cost price (starting from $8.75 for the Business package).

Semi-dedicated Web Servers

To people with little to no practice, a virtual web hosting server may appear complicated to handle. That's perhaps why 'SparkDawn Media WebHosting' also stores semi-dedicated web servers in its principal US data center facility in Chicago. Administering these accounts is similar to administering a normal shared web space hosting plan through a web space hosting CP GUI. They have all the features of a shared hosting account such as a fee-free web site builder and a script installation tool, but the amount of system resources typical of a semi-dedicated server hosting package is many times bigger than that of a shared web space hosting account. For instance, the central processing unit power that can be used is about FIVE times as much as compared to the shared hosting accounts. When juxtaposed to a shared web hosting account, the number of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is huge: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted domain quota is a trend as well. The semi-dedicated server web hosting accounts do not come with complete root access (we, at thingseternal.org, think of this as a slight drawback), but the benefit is that they are managed through the same webspace hosting Control Panel user interface as the shared webspace hosting accounts. This goes to say that a user-friendly graphical environment is accessible by all users who are not confident enough to handle a private virtual hosting server, yet require more power and features than a private virtual web server can supply them with. This is like that because of the fact that the semi-dedicated web servers share the reserves of the very same powerful high-end web servers as the ones which host the VPS web hosting accounts, still, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is very small (somewhere between 20 to thirty per physical server), whereas the virtual private hosting servers can reach a much greater number (80 to a hundred and twenty per physical machine). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers delivered by 'SparkDawn Media WebHosting' can be classified as being quite cheap (as far as cost is concerned), beginning from $20.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 package.

Dedicated Servers

In thingseternal.org's opinion, big web pages such as social networks, community and business portals or popular web stores with thousands of customers request a much more powerful web hosting solution. It seems that the guys from 'SparkDawn Media WebHosting' have arrived at the same conclusion too. To meet its users' anticipations, 'SparkDawn Media WebHosting' offers a bouquet of dedicated servers that can tackle millions of daily hits. That estimate is based on the hardware specs the web servers include: multi-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, 2000 GB of storage space and Gigabit NICs will definitely guarantee the quick and steady work of any kind of web site. In 'SparkDawn Media WebHosting's opinion, the original hardware specifications can be upgraded for more resource-demanding sites. We, from thingseternal.org, deem that all dedicated server solutions furnished by 'SparkDawn Media WebHosting' are also suitable for kickstarting a hosting reseller business as each dedicated server provides free-of-charge invoicing software platform and a charge-free domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated web hosting servers supplied by 'SparkDawn Media WebHosting' are all unmanaged. We, at thingseternal.org, consider this a minor inconvenience, which can be corrected by paying a monthly fee of $32.00 USD. So, if you are in need of support, the Managed Services upgrade offers an assortment of additional services such as a regular backup, software installation, hosting server monitoring and troubleshooting operations. An assortment of web page hosting CP (CP) GUIs are offered with each of the dedicated servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (thingseternal.org's) prognosis is that the superb point-and-click File Manager available in the Hepsia web hosting CP will perhaps render the utilization of any File Transfer Protocol client useless. Our (thingseternal.org's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers offered by 'SparkDawn Media WebHosting' don't seem to be very affordably priced (yet the Hepsia webspace hosting Control Panel and the unlimited hosted domain name allowance will beyond doubt make you smile), commencing from $80.00 for the Xeon E3 v5 package.
