A review of WiseHost.ca

We, at cisse.me, have chosen 'WiseHost.ca' to be our current domain name and web hosting distributor. This is why we deem that this short assessment of 'WiseHost.ca' is perchance going to be quite helpful for other individuals from all over the Globe who seek domain name and web hosting services. We state folks from all around the Globe, since the mere truth is that 'WiseHost.ca' currently distributes domain and hosting services in multiple server farm facility locations: in the USA (Chicago, IL), in England (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). That way, covering virtually the entire World. At least as far as the World Wide Web is concerned. So, here is what you could expect from 'WiseHost.ca' in brief:

Shared Web Space Hosting Packages

The first thing we, at cisse.me, have spotted is the reasonable prices of the shared site hosting solutions delivered by 'WiseHost.ca'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared web hosting. The good news here is that the web space hosting accounts offered by 'WiseHost.ca' are driven by a custom built, leading edge cloud web hosting platform (each hosting service, such as mail, databases, web page hosting CP, web space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being dealt with by a separate stack of hosting servers in a cluster). This is something EVERY cPanel web hosting firm on the Globe will have big complications with, since cPanel is a one-server based hosting platform (each web hosting service, like email, databases, web page hosting CP, data storage, DNS, stats, and so on, is being dealt with by one single web server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel hosting suppliers are unable to add extra functionality and handle it the way they need it) and there is no open source file platform (they need to concoct their own file platform), which is the prerequisite of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared web hosting accounts, which are driven by an authentic clustered hosting solution. With a shared web hosting account, each client pays solely for his/her plan, thus keeping the webspace hosting price really low (because a lot of users are hosted on one and the same server). In a few words, a shared hosting package, which is being served by a clustered hosting system, enables you to pay solely for the reserves that you really require, averting a scenario where you pay for a high-end web space hosting account that you cannot actually use, or for a tiny web page hosting account that cannot shelter your website. The ability to upgrade your account from one package to another with just two mouse clicks gives you the flexibility to begin with a tiny package and upgrade as your web site expands. So, you save funds that you can expend on advertising the site while it is still new. Every web site hosting plan provided by 'WiseHost.ca' boasts an online web site building tool and more than forty widely used script-driven software platforms among them WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you 100s of dollars for website design solutions. 'WiseHost.ca' furnishes shared webspace hosting plans in several different countries across the Globe. There is one datacenter in Chicago covering the USA and Canada; two European datacenters - in Britain and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia-Pacific. In this way, almost the entire Earth is encompassed to present you and your site's visitors with a steady and reliable web page hosting service at a desired place. Altogether, the shared hosting packages delivered 'WiseHost.ca' are really well furnished and are available at a good price (beginning from $4.66 for the Starter plan).

Semi-dedicated Hosting Servers

To users with little or no experience, a virtual web hosting server may seem problematic to handle. That's perhaps why 'WiseHost.ca' also hosts semi-dedicated web servers in its principal American server farm in Chicago. Managing these plans is similar to administering a regular shared site hosting package through a Control Panel interface. They have all the features of a shared site hosting account such as a free-of-cost web site building tool and a PHP script installer, but the system resource quota typical of a semi-dedicated server hosting account is many times larger than that of a shared webspace hosting plan. For example, the CPU power that can be used is about 5 times as much as compared to the shared web page hosting packages. When compared with a shared website hosting package, the quota of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting accounts is vast: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted domain name allowance is a pattern too. The semi-dedicated hosting plans do not include root privileges (we, at cisse.me, think that this is a tiny weakness), but the benefit is that they are managed via the same hosting CP GUI as the shared web hosting packages. This suggests that a known graphical interface is available to all users who are not self-confident enough to manage a private virtual web server, but at the same time require more power and resources than a private virtual server can offer. This is so due to the fact that the semi-dedicated hosting servers share the reserves of the very same powerful cutting edge web hosting servers as the ones which host the virtual private web hosting server plans, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated servers is very small (somewhere between twenty to thirty per physical machine), whereas the virtual private web 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 provided by 'WiseHost.ca' can be defined as being quite cheap (as far as price is concerned), beginning from $20.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 plan.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

In cisse.me's opinion, huge websites such as social networks, community and corporate web portals or popular online storefronts with 1000s of customers demand a much more powerful webspace hosting solution. It appears that the guys from 'WiseHost.ca' have arrived at the same conclusion as well. To live up to its clients' requirements, 'WiseHost.ca' offers a bouquet of dedicated hosting servers that can manage millions of daily visits. That evaluation rests on the hardware specifications the dedicated hosting servers ship with: multi-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, 2000 gigabytes of data storage and Gigabit network interface cards will no doubt guarantee the fast and stable performance of any kind of site. In 'WiseHost.ca's opinion, the primary hardware specs can be upgraded for more system resource-requiring websites. We, from cisse.me, believe that all dedicated server packages supplied by 'WiseHost.ca' are also suitable for beginning a hosting reseller business as each and every server provides free-of-charge invoicing transaction software platform and a free-of-cost domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated web servers supplied by 'WiseHost.ca' are all unmanaged. We, at cisse.me, regard this as a little disadvantage, which can be righted by paying a monthly tax which amounts to $33.95 USD. So, if you need support, the Managed Services upgrade offers several additional services such as a regular backup, software installation, web hosting server surveillance and troubleshooting procedures. A bouquet of website hosting Control Panel (CP) interfaces are offered with each of the web servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (cisse.me's) prognosis is that the exceptional drag-and-drop File Manager offered by the Hepsia hosting CP will probably render the use of any FTP software program pointless. Our (cisse.me's) inference is that the dedicated servers provided by 'WiseHost.ca' don't appear to be very cheap (still the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and the unmetered hosted domain allowance will beyond doubt make you smile), commencing from $45.00 for the Atom 2c plan.
