An evaluation of Angry Dog Hosting Company

We, at scotlandphotographed.co.uk, have chosen 'Angry Dog Hosting Company' to be our present domain and hosting supplier. Therefore we deem that this succinct evaluation of 'Angry Dog Hosting Company' is perchance going to be quite helpful for other individuals from all over the Globe who need domain name and web hosting solutions. We state folks from all around the World, because the simple fact is that 'Angry Dog Hosting Company' currently delivers domain and hosting services in numerous server farm sites: in the United States of America (Chicago, IL), in the UK (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, embracing practically the whole planet. At least as far as the World Wide Web is concerned. So, here is what you could expect from 'Angry Dog Hosting Company' in short:

Shared Web Hosting Packages

The first detail we, at scotlandphotographed.co.uk, have seen is the modest prices of the shared web page hosting plans delivered by 'Angry Dog Hosting Company'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared web hosting. The good news here is that the hosting accounts supplied by 'Angry Dog Hosting Company' are powered by a custom invented, futuristic cloud web hosting solution (each hosting service, such as mail, databases, web site hosting Control Panel, storage space, DNS, stats, etc., is being run on an autonomous bunch of web servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting company on the Globe will have mammoth difficulties with, because cPanel is a one single server based site hosting platform (each hosting service, like electronic mail, databases, web site hosting CP, disk space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being handled by one single hosting server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel-based webspace hosting providers are not able to include extra 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 the precondition of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared web site hosting packages, which are powered by an actual clustered web page hosting solution. With a shared account, each customer pays just for his/her package, thus preserving the web hosting price amazingly low (since a lot of customers are hosted on the same web hosting server). In a nutshell, a shared hosting account, which runs on a clustered web hosting system, allows you to pay solely for the resources that you really require, refraining from a scenario where you pay for a powerful web space hosting package that you cannot truly use, or for a small hosting plan 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 begin with a low-end plan and upgrade as your online presence expands. Thus, you spare funds that you can spend on promoting the website while it is still novel. Every website hosting plan furnished by 'Angry Dog Hosting Company' includes an online website building tool and more than forty widely used script-driven software platforms such as WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you 100s of dollars for web page design solutions. 'Angry Dog Hosting Company' furnishes shared site hosting services in a number of different countries across the Globe. There is one datacenter in Chicago covering the United States of America and Canada; two European data centers - in Great Britain and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia Pacific. Thus, nearly the entire Earth is encompassed to supply you and your web page's visitors with a stable and reliable website hosting service at a nearby place. All in all, the shared hosting services supplied 'Angry Dog Hosting Company' are very well appointed and come at a very affordable price (starting from £4.17 for the Personel package).

Virtual Private Web Servers

As your website becomes more popular, more visitors will open it at one and the same time, thereby causing bigger web hosting server load. Shared web hosting packages set given limitations so that all the hosting customers on the web server have their cut of the system reserves. So, for more visited sites, a virtual web hosting server (VPS) would be a finer alternative. A private virtual web server offers the optimal ratio between productiveness and price. It simulates a dedicated server and with 'Angry Dog Hosting Company' all Virtual Private Servers on offer ship with full root access and a collection of OSs (CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian) and web page hosting Control Panel GUIs (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin) to choose from. Please pay precise heed to the Hepsia website hosting CP. As opposed to cPanel (which costs 10 dollars per month on top of the preferred private virtual server web hosting plan's price), Hepsia is provided at no extra monthly cost (it's free with all VPS web server plans and runs with all Linux Operating Systems: CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, while cPanel runs exclusively with CentOS) and features an astonishing Domain Manager via which you can register, relocate, renew and administer top-level domain names (cPanel does not include such a tool at all)! The more skilled users can administer the VPS via a Secure Shell client program, but rookies can also administer it effortlessly via a Parallels Virtuozzo or OpenVZ virtualization solution, installing server-side software applications, restarting given services or the entire private virtual hosting server. Pay attention to this thing: the chief advantage of the virtual server web hosting plans is that if the server load surpasses the package's quota, additional reserves can be allotted to this particular virtual server for a certain spell of time as long as they are present on the physical web hosting server. As a whole, a VPS immensely exceeds the capacities of any shared web hosting plan and the additional reserves offer an even more stable and secure service. With 'Angry Dog Hosting Company', the prices for the VPS web server hosting packages commence at just £14.53 for the Base VPS package. All VPS web hosting packages are available in Chicago, London and Sydney, guaranteeing optimum performance for your sites.

Semi-dedicated Hosting Servers

To users with little or no experience, a VPS web server may appear difficult to administer. That's probably why 'Angry Dog Hosting Company' also hosts semi-dedicated web servers in its main American datacenter in Chicago. Managing these packages is comparable to handling a conventional shared website hosting package through a Control Panel interface. They have all the features of a shared web site hosting plan such as a free-of-cost site builder and a web app installation tool, but the amount of system resources provided by a semi-dedicated web server account is many times larger than that of a shared web hosting package. For instance, the central processing unit power that can be used is almost FIVE times as much as compared to the shared web page hosting packages. When contrasted with a shared hosting package, the number of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is immense: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted TLD allowance is a principle too. The semi-dedicated accounts do not arrive with full server root access (we, at scotlandphotographed.co.uk, think that this is a slight weakness), but the advantage is that they are managed via the very same web page hosting CP interface as the shared webspace hosting accounts. This hints that a recognizable graphical environment is accessible by all clients who do not have enough self-condifence to handle a virtual web hosting server, but at the same time need more power and supplies than a Virtual Private Server can furnish them with. This is so because of the fact that the semi-dedicated web hosting servers share the resources of the very same powerful cutting edge web hosting servers as the ones which host the private virtual web server hosting plans, still, the number of the semi-dedicated web hosting servers is very small (somewhere between 20 to 30 per physical server), while the VPS hosting servers can reach a much bigger number (eighty to 120 per physical machine). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers furnished by 'Angry Dog Hosting Company' can be classified as being very cheap (as far as price is concerned), commencing from £43.17 for the Semi Dedicated 1 plan.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

According to scotlandphotographed.co.uk, big web pages such as social networks, community and corporate portals or popular web storefronts with thousands of customers demand a much more powerful site hosting solution. It seems that the blokes from 'Angry Dog Hosting Company' have reached the same conclusion as well. To live up to its customers' expectations, 'Angry Dog Hosting Company' supplies an assortment of dedicated servers that can manage millions of daily hits. That assessment rests on the hardware specifications the web hosting servers include: many-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, two thousand gigabytes of disk space and Gigabit NICs will definitely guarantee the fast and stable performance of any kind of web site. In 'Angry Dog Hosting Company's opinion, the primary hardware configurations can be upgraded for more system resource-requiring websites. We, from scotlandphotographed.co.uk, deem that all dedicated server specifications supplied by 'Angry Dog Hosting Company' are also suitable for starting a hosting reseller business as each and every web hosting server provides free-of-cost invoicing transaction software platform and a cost-free domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated hosting servers furnished by 'Angry Dog Hosting Company' are all unmanaged. We, at scotlandphotographed.co.uk, deem this a slight drawback, which can be corrected by paying a monthly tax which amounts to £23.03 GBP. So, if you require backing, the Managed Services upgrade provides a few supplementary services such as a routine backup, software installation, hosting server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. A bunch of Control Panel (CP) GUIs are offered with each of the dedicated web hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (scotlandphotographed.co.uk's) forecast is that the splendid drag-and-drop File Manager offered by the Hepsia web page hosting Control Panel will perhaps make the recourse to any FTP software pointless. Our (scotlandphotographed.co.uk's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers provided by 'Angry Dog Hosting Company' don't seem to be very inexpensive (still the Hepsia CP and the unmetered hosted domain quotas will beyond doubt make you smile), beginning from £94.36 for the Budget package.
