A review of Hosting Dominicano

We, at vrd-tech.com, have chosen 'Hosting Dominicano' to be our present domain name and hosting distributor. Therefore we think that this brief assessment of 'Hosting Dominicano' is probably going to be very helpful for other individuals from all around the Globe who are looking for domain name and web hosting services. We say people from all over the Globe, because the simple fact is that 'Hosting Dominicano' currently distributes domain and hosting services in several data center locations: in the United States (Chicago, IL), in the UK (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, covering virtually the whole planet. At least from the point of view of the World Wide Web. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Hosting Dominicano' in short:

Shared Hosting Plans

The first detail we, at vrd-tech.com, have noted is the modest prices of the shared webspace hosting solutions supplied by 'Hosting Dominicano'. 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 website hosting accounts supplied by 'Hosting Dominicano' are powered by a custom devised, futuristic cloud web hosting solution (each web hosting service, such as email, databases, webspace hosting Control Panel, web space, DNS, stats, etc., is being run on a different host of web servers in a cluster). This is something ANY cPanel web hosting company on the Earth will have colossal troubles with, because cPanel is a one single server based web hosting platform (each hosting service, like email, databases, web site hosting CP, storage space, DNS, stats, and so on, is being handled by one and the same server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel web space hosting distributors cannot add extra functionality and manipulate it the way they want it) and there is no open source file system (they need to make their own file platform), which is the premise of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared website hosting plans, which are powered by a real clustered webspace hosting platform. With a shared webspace hosting account, each client pays just for his/her account, thus keeping the site hosting price really low (because plenty of clients use one and the same web hosting server). In a few words, a shared hosting package, which runs on a cloud site hosting platform, enables you to pay only for the reserves that you indeed demand, avoiding a situation where you pay for a feature-rich website hosting package that you cannot actually use, or for a basic site hosting account that cannot accommodate your site. The ability to upgrade your account from one plan to another with just two clicks grants you the flexibility to commence with a tiny package and upgrade as your web site expands. Thus, you spare funds that you can spend on publicizing the website while it is still new. Each web site hosting package provided by 'Hosting Dominicano' contains an online website building tool and over forty popular script platforms such as WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you 100s of dollars for website design solutions. 'Hosting Dominicano' supplies shared web page hosting solutions in several different regions across the Globe. There is one data center facility in Chicago encompassing the USA and Canada; 2 European data centers - in Great Britain and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia-Pacific. Thus, virtually the entire Earth is covered to present you and your visitors with a stable and fast website hosting solution at a desired place. Altogether, the shared hosting plans provided 'Hosting Dominicano' are really well stocked and are available at a low-cost price (beginning from $4.17 for the Sencillo plan).

Semi-dedicated Servers

To clients with little to no practice, a VPS server may appear hard to administer. That's perhaps why 'Hosting Dominicano' also keeps semi-dedicated web servers in its main American server farm facility in Chicago. Managing these plans is similar to managing a standard shared web page hosting plan through a site hosting CP interface. They have all the features of a shared website hosting account such as a free-of-charge web site building tool and a web app installer, but the system resource quota typical of a semi-dedicated web server package is many times greater than that of a shared web page hosting account. For example, the central processing unit power that can be utilized is almost FIVE times as much as compared with the shared site hosting packages. When compared to a shared web space hosting plan, the quota of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is enormous: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted domain allowance is a rule as well. The semi-dedicated accounts do not come with root access (we, at vrd-tech.com, count this as a small downside), but the good point is that they are administered through the very same web hosting CP interface as the shared webspace hosting accounts. This indicates that a known GUI is available to all customers who are not confident enough to handle a virtual private web server, but at the same time demand more power and reserves than a VPS web server can deliver. This is like that owing to the fact that the semi-dedicated web servers share the system resources of the same powerful leading edge web hosting servers as the ones which accommodate the Virtual Private Server web hosting plans, still, the number of the semi-dedicated servers is quite low (somewhere between twenty to thirty per physical server), while the VPS hosting servers can reach a much higher number (eighty to a hundred and twenty per physical server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers furnished by 'Hosting Dominicano' can be dubbed as being amazingly affordable (as far as price is concerned), beginning from $20.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 plan.

Dedicated Servers

In vrd-tech.com's opinion, big websites such as social networks, community and corporate portals or famous web storefronts with 1000s of clients call for a much more powerful website hosting solution. It seems that the chaps from 'Hosting Dominicano' have arrived at the same conclusion as well. To fulfil its clients' needs, 'Hosting Dominicano' provides a bouquet of dedicated servers that can cope with millions of daily hits. That estimate rests on the hardware specifications the dedicated servers boast: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, 2000 GB of disk storage and Gigabit NICs will beyond doubt guarantee the quick and stable work of any type of web site. In 'Hosting Dominicano's opinion, the primary hardware configurations can be upgraded for more resource-requiring websites. We, from vrd-tech.com, deem that all dedicated server plans delivered by 'Hosting Dominicano' are also suitable for establishing a hosting reseller business as each and every dedicated server offers free-of-charge invoicing software platform and a free-of-cost domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated servers provided by 'Hosting Dominicano' are all unmanaged. We, at vrd-tech.com, think of this as a tiny weakness, which can be corrected by paying a monthly fee which amounts to $32.00 USD. So, if you demand support, the Managed Services upgrade offers several additional services such as a regular backup, software installation, dedicated hosting server surveillance and troubleshooting operations. A bunch of website hosting CP (CP) user interfaces are offered with each of the web hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (vrd-tech.com's) prediction is that the excellent drag and drop File Manager available in the Hepsia site hosting Control Panel will perhaps render the recourse to any FTP client futile. Our (vrd-tech.com's) inference is that the dedicated servers furnished by 'Hosting Dominicano' don't appear to be very affordably priced (yet the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and the unmetered hosted domain allowance will no doubt make you smile), beginning from $40.00 for the Atom 2c plan.
