An assessment of Tonga Hosting

We, at voiceagainstviolence.org, have picked 'Tonga Hosting' to be our current domain and web hosting supplier. Therefore we anticipate that this concise review of 'Tonga Hosting' is perchance going to be quite useful for other individuals from all around the Globe who need domain name and web hosting services. We state people from all around the World, because the simple fact is that 'Tonga Hosting' presently provides domain and hosting services in numerous data center sites: in the US (Chicago, IL), in the United Kingdom (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, encompassing approximately the entire planet. At least as far as the Internet is concerned. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Tonga Hosting' in brief:

Shared Web Page Hosting Solutions

The initial thing we, at voiceagainstviolence.org, have noticed is the cut-rate prices of the shared site hosting accounts offered by 'Tonga Hosting'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared hosting. The good news here is that the web hosting plans offered by 'Tonga Hosting' are driven by an in-house developed, innovative cloud web hosting platform (each hosting service, like email, databases, web hosting CP, storage space, DNS, stats, etc., is being tackled by an individual host of hosting servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance EVERY cPanel web hosting corporation on the Globe will have huge predicaments with, because cPanel is a one-server based website hosting platform (each web hosting service, such as mail, databases, website hosting CP, disk space, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being handled by a single web hosting server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel website hosting companies are not able to add new functionality and manipulate it the way they want it) and there is no open source file system (they have to devise their own file platform), which is the prerequisite of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared website hosting accounts, which are driven by an actual clustered web site hosting system. With a shared website hosting account, each customer pays just for his/her package, thus preserving the webspace hosting price very low (since numerous users are located on one and the same web server). In brief, a shared hosting account, which runs on a cloud web site hosting system, allows you to pay only for the resources that you actually require, precluding a situation where you pay for a high-end hosting package that you cannot actually utilize, or for a tiny hosting package that cannot host your site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with just 2 clicks gives you the flexibility to kick off with a low-end plan and upgrade as your web site grows. In this way, you spare capital that you can invest in publicizing the web page while it is still new. Each and every web site hosting package furnished by 'Tonga Hosting' sports an online web site building tool and over forty widely used script-driven software platforms including WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you 100s of dollars for website design services. 'Tonga Hosting' furnishes shared web page hosting plans in a number of different regions around the World. There is one server farm facility in Chicago encompassing the US and Canada; 2 European data center facilities - in the United Kingdom and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia Pacific region. In this way, almost the whole planet is encompassed to present you and your visitors with a stable and fast site hosting solution at a nearby location. On the whole, the shared hosting plans provided 'Tonga Hosting' are quite well furnished and come at a cut-rate price (beginning from $3.00 for the Standard plan).

Semi-dedicated Web Hosting Servers

To people with little or no practice, a private virtual web server may seem hard to handle. That's probably why 'Tonga Hosting' also keeps semi-dedicated web hosting servers in its main American data center in Chicago. Managing these packages is comparable to handling a standard shared web page hosting plan via a web hosting CP user interface. They have all the functionalities of a shared webspace hosting plan such as a free-of-charge web site builder and a web app installation tool, but the system resource quota typical of a semi-dedicated hosting server package is many times larger than that of a shared hosting plan. For example, the CPU power that can be utilized is nearly 5 times as much as compared with the shared website hosting accounts. When juxtaposed to a shared web page hosting plan, the number of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting accounts is huge: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted TLD quota is a standard as well. The semi-dedicated web server hosting plans do not come with full server root privileges (we, at voiceagainstviolence.org, think that this is a slight defect), but the advantage is that they are administered via the very same web hosting Control Panel GUI as the shared plans. This indicates that a well-known graphical user interface is offered to all clients who are not self-confident enough to manage a VPS, but at the same time require more power and supplies than a private virtual web server can offer. This is like that owing to the fact that the semi-dedicated web servers share the reserves of the same powerful avant-garde web servers as the ones which accommodate the VPS server plans, still, the number of the semi-dedicated hosting servers is quite small (somewhere between 20 to thirty per physical server), while the Virtual Private Servers can reach a much higher number (80 to 120 per physical server). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers supplied by 'Tonga Hosting' can be categorized as being very inexpensive (as far as cost is concerned), starting from $20.00 for the Fast package.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

According to voiceagainstviolence.org, big web pages such as social networks, community and business portals or famous web storefronts with 1000s of clients demand a much more powerful hosting solution. It appears that the fellows from 'Tonga Hosting' have drawn the same conclusion as well. To fulfil its clients' demands, 'Tonga Hosting' supplies a bouquet of dedicated hosting servers that can manage millions of daily visits. That assessment rests on the hardware specs the dedicated servers boast: multi-core processors, up to 4 gigabytes of RAM, two thousand gigabytes of disk storage and Gigabit NICs will undoubtedly ensure the quick and stable performance of any type of site. In 'Tonga Hosting's opinion, the original hardware configurations can be upgraded for more resource-demanding web sites. We, from voiceagainstviolence.org, think that all dedicated server plans furnished by 'Tonga Hosting' are also suitable for kickstarting a hosting reseller business as each web hosting server comes with free billing software and a free-of-cost domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated hosting servers offered by 'Tonga Hosting' are all unmanaged. We, at voiceagainstviolence.org, think of this as a small minus, which can be adjusted by paying a monthly fee of $32.00 USD. So, if you are in need of support, the Managed Services upgrade includes a number of supplementary services such as a regular backup, software installation, hosting server monitoring and troubleshooting operations. A selection of web site hosting Control Panel (CP) GUIs are available with each of the web hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (voiceagainstviolence.org's) prognosis is that the superb drag and drop File Manager added in the Hepsia site hosting CP will perhaps make the recourse to any FTP software program futile. Our (voiceagainstviolence.org's) inference is that the dedicated servers offered by 'Tonga Hosting' don't appear to be very cheap (still the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and the unlimited hosted domain allowance will doubtlessly make you smile), beginning from $115.00 for the Xeon Scalable 6c package.
