An assessment of MoonServers

We, at 40nc.com, have chosen 'MoonServers' to be our current domain name and web hosting vendor. Therefore we expect that this brief assessment of 'MoonServers' is perchance going to be very useful for other individuals from all over the Globe who are searching for domain name and web hosting services. We state individuals from all over the World, since the simple truth is that 'MoonServers' presently furnishes domain and hosting services in several datacenter sites: in the US (Chicago, IL), in the United Kingdom (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, covering practically the entire Globe. At least from the point of view of the World Wide Web. So, here is what you could expect from 'MoonServers' in short:

Shared Hosting Solutions

The first detail we, at 40nc.com, have seen is the budget prices of the shared web space hosting plans offered by 'MoonServers'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared web hosting. The good news here is that the web page hosting packages supplied by 'MoonServers' are powered by a custom developed, advanced cloud web hosting solution (each hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, web hosting Control Panel, data storage, DNS, stats, etc., runs on an individual group of servers in a cluster). This is something ANY cPanel web hosting provider in the World will have huge predicaments with, because cPanel is a single server based web page hosting platform (each hosting service, like electronic mail, databases, web site hosting Control Panel, disk storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being served by one and the same server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel-based site hosting corporations cannot add new functionality and handle it the way they need it) and there is no open source file platform (they need to design their own file system), which is the premise of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared site hosting packages, which are powered by a real clustered web hosting system. With a shared web hosting plan, each client pays solely for his/her account, thus maintaining the price really low (since many users share one and the same web server). To cut a long story short, a shared hosting package, which is being served by a clustered web hosting platform, allows you to pay just for the reserves that you really need, evading a scenario where you pay for an advanced web page hosting plan that you cannot really utilize, or for a small hosting plan that cannot shelter your web page. The ability to upgrade your account from one plan to another with only 2 mouse clicks grants you the flexibility to kick off with a small plan and upgrade as your web page grows. So, you save funds that you can invest in promoting the website while it is still brand new. Each and every website hosting account offered by 'MoonServers' contains an online site building tool and more than 40 popular script-driven platforms including WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you hundreds of dollars for site design services. 'MoonServers' provides shared webspace hosting solutions in several different countries around the Globe. There is one server farm facility in Chicago covering the US and Canada; two European server farm facilities - in the UK and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia-Pacific. That way, nearly the whole planet is encompassed to present you and your visitors with a steady and reliable web hosting service at a desired place. Altogether, the shared hosting services supplied 'MoonServers' are very well furnished and are available at a very good price (beginning from $8.75 for the Business plan).

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

In 40nc.com's opinion, big web pages such as social networks, community and business web portals or popular web shops with 1000s of customers demand a much more powerful web space hosting environment. It appears that the folks from 'MoonServers' have reached the same conclusion as well. To meet its customers' expectations, 'MoonServers' delivers a number of dedicated web servers that can handle millions of daily visits. That estimate rests on the hardware configurations the dedicated web servers have: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to 4 GB of RAM, 2000 gigabytes of disk space and Gigabit network interface cards will no doubt guarantee the quick and steady performance of any type of web site. In 'MoonServers's opinion, the original hardware specs can be upgraded for more resource-requiring sites. We, from 40nc.com, deem that all dedicated server plans provided by 'MoonServers' are also appropriate for beginning a hosting reseller business as every dedicated hosting server ships with free invoicing transaction software and a free domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated hosting servers furnished by 'MoonServers' are all unmanaged. We, at 40nc.com, consider this a slight weakness, which can be corrected by paying a monthly tax of $32.00 USD. So, if you are in need of aid, the Managed Services upgrade provides an array of supplementary services such as a routine backup, software installation, web hosting server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. A number of site hosting CP (CP) interfaces are available with each of the web servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (40nc.com's) prognosis is that the impressive drag and drop File Manager added in the Hepsia CP will perhaps make the utilization of any File Transfer Protocol client useless. Our (40nc.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers offered by 'MoonServers' don't seem to be very inexpensive (yet the Hepsia webspace hosting Control Panel and the unlimited hosted domain name allowance will definitely make you smile), commencing from $140.00 for the Xeon Scalable 8c package.
