A review of Loyalty Hosting

We, at curbart.net, have chosen 'Loyalty Hosting' to be our current domain name and web hosting supplier. Therefore we deem that this brief assessment of 'Loyalty Hosting' is perhaps going to be quite helpful for other folks from all around the Globe in need of domain name and web hosting solutions. We say people from all over the World, because the mere fact is that 'Loyalty Hosting' presently distributes domain and hosting services in numerous data center facility locations: in the United States of America (Chicago, IL), in Great Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, encompassing nearly the whole planet. At least as far as the World Wide Web is concerned. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Loyalty Hosting' in short:

Shared Web Space Hosting Plans

The first detail we, at curbart.net, have discerned is the affordable prices of the shared webspace hosting services provided by 'Loyalty Hosting'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared hosting. The good thing here is that the site hosting packages offered by 'Loyalty Hosting' are driven by a custom designed, avant-garde cloud web hosting solution (each web hosting service, like mail, databases, web page hosting CP, disk space, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being handled by an individual group of servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting firm on the Globe will have immense predicaments with, because cPanel is a one-server based web site hosting environment (each web hosting service, such as email, databases, CP, disk storage, DNS, stats, etc., is being served by one and the same server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel site hosting suppliers cannot add new functionality and handle it the way they need it) and there is no open source file system (they need to build their own file platform), which is at the bottom of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared hosting plans, which are driven by an actual clustered website hosting system. With a shared website hosting package, each customer pays only for his/her package, thus retaining the webspace hosting price really low (because numerous users are located on one and the same hosting server). In a nutshell, a shared hosting account, which runs on a clustered web hosting platform, enables you to pay just for the resources that you really require, evading a situation where you pay for a feature-rich web space hosting package that you cannot really utilize, or for a low-end web page hosting plan that cannot shelter your website. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with only two mouse clicks gives you the flexibility to commence with a tiny plan and upgrade as your website expands. That way, you save money that you can invest in advertising the website while it is still new. Every hosting plan offered by 'Loyalty Hosting' comprises an online web site building tool and more than 40 widely used script-driven platforms like WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you 100s of dollars for web page design services. 'Loyalty Hosting' distributes shared web site hosting packages in a number of different geographical regions across the Globe. There is one datacenter in Chicago covering the USA and Canada; 2 European datacenters - in the United Kingdom and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia-Pacific. In this way, nearly the entire planet is encompassed to supply you and your visitors with a stable and dependable webspace hosting service at a preferred location. Altogether, the shared hosting services offered 'Loyalty Hosting' are quite well equipped and are available at a very affordable price (starting from $4.03 for the Basic plan).

Semi-dedicated Web Servers

To users with little to no experience, a virtual hosting server may appear difficult to manage. That's perhaps why 'Loyalty Hosting' also keeps semi-dedicated web servers in its main North American data center in Chicago. Managing these accounts is comparable to administering a normal shared hosting account through a hosting CP interface. They have all the functionalities of a shared web site hosting account such as a fee-free site building tool and a web application installation tool, but the system resource quota typical of a semi-dedicated web server hosting account is many times greater than that of a shared hosting account. For instance, the central processing unit power that can be used is approximately FIVE times as much as compared with the shared plans. When juxtaposed to a shared web space hosting package, the number of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is huge: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted top-level domain name quota is a trend as well. The semi-dedicated web server hosting plans do not come with full root-level access (we, at curbart.net, think that this is a slight downside), but the plus is that they are managed via the very same web hosting Control Panel user interface as the shared web space hosting packages. This indicates that a well-known graphical interface is offered to all customers who are not self-confident enough to handle a VPS, yet demand more power and reserves than a VPS web hosting server can offer. This is so because the semi-dedicated hosting servers share the system resources of the same powerful first-class web servers as the ones which accommodate the VPS web hosting server packages, however, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is quite small (somewhere between 20 to thirty per server), while the private virtual web servers can reach a much bigger number (eighty to a hundred and twenty per physical server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers provided by 'Loyalty Hosting' can be classified as being very affordable (as far as cost is concerned), starting from $19.99 for the Semi-Dedicated Basic plan.

Dedicated Web Servers

According to curbart.net, big sites such as social networks, community and corporate web portals or famous online storefronts with 1000s of clients require a much more powerful site hosting platform. It appears that the fellows from 'Loyalty Hosting' have come to the same conclusion too. To live up to its clients' needs, 'Loyalty Hosting' delivers a selection of dedicated servers that can handle millions of daily hits. That evaluation stands on the hardware specs the web hosting servers are offering: many-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, two thousand GB of disk storage and Gigabit network interface cards will no doubt guarantee the quick and steady work of any sort of site. According to 'Loyalty Hosting', the primary hardware specs can be upgraded for more system resource-requiring web sites. We, from curbart.net, think that all dedicated server specifications furnished by 'Loyalty Hosting' are also suitable for setting up a hosting reseller business as each and every server comes with free-of-cost invoice transaction software platform and a cost-free domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated web servers supplied by 'Loyalty Hosting' are all unmanaged. We, at curbart.net, regard this as a slight inconvenience, which can be rectified by paying a monthly tax of $31.99 USD. So, if you demand assistance, the Managed Services upgrade includes a bouquet of supplementary services such as a regular backup, software installation, server monitoring and troubleshooting operations. Several web space hosting Control Panel (CP) user interfaces are offered with each of the dedicated web servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (curbart.net's) prediction is that the exceptional point and click File Manager added in the Hepsia web site hosting Control Panel will possibly render the recourse to any FTP software program useless. Our (curbart.net's) inference is that the dedicated servers supplied by 'Loyalty Hosting' don't appear to be very low priced (yet the Hepsia web space hosting CP and the unmetered hosted domain quotas will beyond doubt make you smile), commencing from $89.99 for the Xeon E3 v5 package.
