An assessment of Rai Hosting

We, at ramro.org, have picked 'Rai Hosting' to be our current domain name and hosting supplier. Therefore we expect that this brief evaluation of 'Rai Hosting' is maybe going to be very helpful for other individuals from all around the World in need of domain name and web hosting services. We state individuals from all over the World, because the mere truth is that 'Rai Hosting' presently provides domain and hosting services in multiple datacenter sites: in the United States (Chicago, IL), in Great Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, encompassing nearly the whole Globe. At least as far as the Internet is concerned. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Rai Hosting' in short:

Shared Web Space Hosting Packages

The first thing we, at ramro.org, have observed is the reasonable prices of the shared web site hosting plans provided by 'Rai Hosting'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared web hosting. The good news here is that the website hosting packages provided by 'Rai Hosting' are driven by a custom created, cutting edge cloud web hosting platform (each web hosting service, such as email, databases, web site hosting Control Panel, storage space, DNS, stats, and so on, is being dealt with by a separate group of web servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting corporation on the Globe will have immense troubles with, because cPanel is a single server based web space hosting environment (each hosting service, such as email, databases, web hosting Control Panel, web space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being dealt with by a single server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel-based web site hosting providers cannot include extra functionality and handle it the way they need it) and there is no open source file system (they have to build their own file platform), which is the foundation of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared web page hosting plans, which are powered by an authentic clustered web space hosting system. With a shared web hosting package, each client pays only for his/her package, thus maintaining the hosting price amazingly low (because many clients use one and the same hosting server). In short, a shared hosting package, which is being served by a cloud web hosting solution, enables you to pay only for the reserves that you really demand, precluding a scenario where you pay for a powerful web hosting account that you cannot really utilize, or for a small hosting package that cannot shelter your site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with just 2 clicks gives you the flexibility to begin with a low-end package and upgrade as your web site expands. In this way, you save cash that you can expend on advertising the web page while it is still brand new. Every site hosting package delivered by 'Rai Hosting' sports an online web site builder and more than 40 popular script-driven software applications among them WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you hundreds of dollars for web design services. 'Rai Hosting' supplies shared web hosting packages in several different geographical regions around the Globe. There is one data center in Chicago encompassing the US and Canada; two European server farms - in the UK and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia Pacific region. That way, practically the entire Earth is covered to provide you and your site's visitors with a steady and dependable web hosting solution at a convenient place. As a whole, the shared hosting plans delivered 'Rai Hosting' are really well furnished and come at a good price (starting from $3.00 for the Standard package).

Semi-dedicated Servers

To users with little to no experience, a virtual web hosting server may seem difficult to handle. That's probably why 'Rai Hosting' also hosts semi-dedicated web hosting servers in its main American data center in Chicago. Handling these packages is comparable to administering a standard shared site hosting plan through a hosting CP tool. They have all the functionalities of a shared web site hosting plan such as a free-of-charge web site builder and a PHP script installation tool, but the system resource quota offered by a semi-dedicated server web hosting plan is many times larger than that of a shared site hosting package. For instance, the CPU power that can be used is nearly 5 times as much as compared with the shared hosting packages. When juxtaposed to a shared web page hosting plan, the quota of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting accounts is big: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted domain allowance is a pattern too. The semi-dedicated web server hosting plans do not come with full root-level access (we, at ramro.org, regard this as a tiny downside), but the benefit is that they are managed through the same web site hosting Control Panel tool as the shared accounts. This goes to say that a recognizable graphical environment is offered to all users who are not confident enough to handle a virtual web hosting server, but at the same time are in need of more power and features than a virtual private web server can provide them with. This is like that owing to the fact that the semi-dedicated hosting servers share the system resources of the same powerful high-end servers as the ones which accommodate the virtual web hosting server packages, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated hosting servers is very small (somewhere between 20 to 30 per physical server), whereas the virtual hosting servers can reach a much bigger number (80 to one hundred and twenty per server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers offered by 'Rai Hosting' can be defined as being very affordable (as far as price is concerned), commencing from $20.00 for the Fast plan.

Dedicated Web Servers

In ramro.org's opinion, huge websites such as social networks, community and business portals or famous web stores with thousands of customers need a much more powerful hosting solution. It seems that the guys from 'Rai Hosting' have drawn the same conclusion too. To meet its users' needs, 'Rai Hosting' offers an array of dedicated servers that can handle millions of daily hits. That estimation rests on the hardware specifications the servers have: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to four GB of RAM, two thousand gigabytes of storage space and Gigabit NICs will undoubtedly guarantee the quick and steady work of any kind of web site. According to 'Rai Hosting', the original hardware configurations can be upgraded for more resource-requiring web sites. We, from ramro.org, consider that all dedicated server solutions delivered by 'Rai Hosting' are also suitable for commencing a hosting reseller business as each dedicated server offers free-of-cost billing software and a free domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated web servers provided by 'Rai Hosting' are all unmanaged. We, at ramro.org, think that this is a slight inconvenience, which can be corrected by paying a monthly tax of $32.00 USD. So, if you are in need of support, the Managed Services upgrade provides a handful of supplementary services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated server surveillance and troubleshooting procedures. A handful of hosting CP (CP) interfaces are available with each of the servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (ramro.org's) forecast is that the impressive point and click File Manager included in the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel will possibly make the recourse to any File Transfer Protocol client pointless. Our (ramro.org's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers offered by 'Rai Hosting' don't appear to be very modestly priced (yet the Hepsia web site hosting CP and the unlimited hosted domain name allowance will definitely make you smile), beginning from $115.00 for the Xeon Scalable 6c plan.
