A survey of Radspace

We, at ijustmight.com, have selected 'Radspace' to be our present domain and hosting vendor. This is why we expect that this concise assessment of 'Radspace' is perchance going to be quite helpful for other people from all around the Globe in need of domain name and web hosting services. We say people from all over the Globe, because the mere truth is that 'Radspace' currently distributes domain and hosting services in numerous data center locations: in the USA (Chicago, IL), in Great Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, covering almost the entire World. At least from the point of view of the World Wide Web. So, here is what you could expect from 'Radspace' in short:

Shared Hosting Plans

The first detail we, at ijustmight.com, have noted is the affordable prices of the shared web page hosting packages provided by 'Radspace'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared web hosting. The good thing here is that the site hosting accounts provided by 'Radspace' are driven by an in-house devised, leading edge cloud web hosting platform (each hosting service, like mail, databases, CP, disk space, DNS, stats, etc., is being run on an autonomous stack of web servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance EVERY cPanel web hosting corporation on the Globe will have big troubles with, since cPanel is a single server based webspace hosting environment (each hosting service, like email, databases, site hosting CP, disk storage, DNS, statistics, etc., is being served by one and the same web server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel-based web hosting providers cannot include new functionality and manipulate it the way they want it) and there is no open source file platform (they must concoct their own file platform), which is at the bottom of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared web page hosting accounts, which are powered by an actual cloud hosting system. With a shared hosting package, each customer pays only for his/her package, thus keeping the webspace hosting price amazingly low (since multiple customers use one and the same web hosting server). In short, a shared hosting package, which runs on a cloud web space hosting platform, permits you to pay solely for the reserves that you really need, precluding a scenario where you pay for a feature-rich website hosting account that you cannot actually use, or for a tiny site hosting plan that cannot host your website. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with just two clicks of the mouse grants you the flexibility to kick off with a low-end plan and upgrade as your online presence grows. Hence, you economize funds that you can spend on advertising the web page while it is still novel. Every web site hosting account supplied by 'Radspace' boasts an online website building tool and over 40 widely used script platforms such as WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you 100s of dollars for web site design services. 'Radspace' delivers shared site hosting packages in several different geographical regions around the World. There is one server farm facility in Chicago covering the United States of America and Canada; two European datacenters - in the United Kingdom and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia-Pacific region. That way, practically the entire World is encompassed to provide you and your web site's visitors with a steady and fast web hosting solution at a convenient location. On the whole, the shared hosting services furnished 'Radspace' are quite well equipped and are available at a low-cost price (starting from $4.25 for the Starter plan).

Semi-dedicated Web Servers

To people with little or no practice, a private virtual web server may seem complicated to administer. That's perhaps why 'Radspace' also offers semi-dedicated web servers in its principal North American server farm in Chicago. Handling these plans is comparable to handling a normal shared webspace hosting plan via a site hosting CP GUI. They have all the specs of a shared web space hosting account such as a fee-free website builder and a script installation tool, but the amount of system resources offered by a semi-dedicated web server hosting plan is many times bigger than that of a shared hosting account. For instance, the CPU power that can be used is about 5 times as much as compared with the shared web page hosting plans. When juxtaposed to a shared webspace hosting package, the number of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is immense: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted domain allowance is a standard as well. The semi-dedicated web server accounts do not arrive with full root-level access (we, at ijustmight.com, think that this is a tiny defect), but the advantage is that they are administered via the very same web page hosting Control Panel user interface as the shared hosting accounts. This hints that a known graphical user interface is accessible by all clients who are not confident enough to handle a private virtual hosting server, but at the same time demand more power and features than a VPS can confer to them. This is like that because of the fact that the semi-dedicated servers share the reserves of the same powerful first-rate hosting servers as the ones which host the virtual private web hosting server packages, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated hosting servers is quite small (somewhere between twenty to 30 per server), whereas the Virtual Private Servers can reach a much bigger number (eighty to 120 per physical machine). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers furnished by 'Radspace' can be categorized as being amazingly affordable (as far as price is concerned), commencing from $20.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 package.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

According to ijustmight.com, large web pages such as social networks, community and corporate web portals or famous web stores with 1000s of customers need a much more powerful hosting solution. It seems that the fellows from 'Radspace' have drawn the same conclusion too. To meet its clients' expectations, 'Radspace' offers an assortment of dedicated web servers that can tackle millions of daily hits. That estimation stands on the hardware configurations the hosting servers sport: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to 4 gigabytes of RAM, two thousand gigabytes of disk storage and Gigabit network cards will no doubt ensure the quick and stable work of any sort of web site. According to 'Radspace', the primary hardware specs can be upgraded for more system resource-requiring sites. We, from ijustmight.com, think that all dedicated server plans supplied by 'Radspace' are also suitable for kickstarting a hosting reseller business as each dedicated web hosting server offers free-of-charge invoicing transaction software and a complimentary domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated web hosting servers supplied by 'Radspace' are all unmanaged. We, at ijustmight.com, count this as a minor weakness, which can be amended by paying a monthly tax of $32.95 USD. So, if you need support, the Managed Services upgrade offers a few additional services such as a regular backup, software installation, dedicated hosting server surveillance and troubleshooting operations. A bunch of Control Panel (CP) interfaces are available with each of the web servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (ijustmight.com's) prognosis is that the excellent drag and drop File Manager available in the Hepsia site hosting CP will probably render the use of any FTP software program useless. Our (ijustmight.com's) inference is that the dedicated servers offered by 'Radspace' don't seem to be very low priced (still the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and the unlimited hosted domain allowance will no doubt make you smile), beginning from $80.00 for the Xeon E3 v5 package.
