An evaluation of Metz Hosting

We, at metzens.ch, have picked 'Metz Hosting' to be our present domain and hosting supplier. This is why we expect that this concise evaluation of 'Metz Hosting' is probably going to be quite useful for other individuals from all over the World who are looking for domain name and web hosting services. We say individuals from all around the Globe, since the mere fact is that 'Metz Hosting' presently offers domain and hosting services in numerous server farm facility sites: in America (Chicago, IL), in Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, encompassing almost the entire planet. At least as far as the World Wide Web is concerned. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Metz Hosting' in a few words:

Shared Site Hosting Plans

The first thing we, at metzens.ch, have noticed is the low-cost prices of the shared website hosting accounts offered by 'Metz Hosting'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared web hosting. The good news here is that the web hosting accounts provided by 'Metz Hosting' are driven by a custom built, futuristic cloud web hosting platform (each hosting service, like electronic mail, databases, web site hosting Control Panel, disk storage, DNS, stats, etc., is being handled by an independent stack of servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting distributor on the Globe will have mammoth difficulties with, because cPanel is a one single server based website hosting platform (each hosting service, like email, databases, web site hosting Control Panel, disk storage, DNS, stats, etc., is being served by a single web hosting server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel website hosting suppliers are not able to add additional functionality and handle it the way they need it) and there is no open source file platform (they have to create their own file system), which is at the heart of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared site hosting packages, which are driven by an authentic clustered webspace hosting solution. With a shared site hosting plan, each customer pays only for his/her account, thus keeping the web site hosting price amazingly low (because a lot of customers use one and the same web server). To cut a long story short, a shared hosting package, which is hosted on a cloud web hosting system, enables you to pay only for the reserves that you actually demand, escaping a scenario where you pay for a high-end site hosting package that you cannot truly use, or for a low-end web space hosting plan that cannot accommodate your web site. The ability to upgrade your account from one plan to another with just two clicks grants you the flexibility to begin with a tiny package and upgrade as your site expands. So, you save money that you can invest in advertising the site while it is still new. Each webspace hosting package supplied by 'Metz Hosting' sports an online site builder and over 40 popular script-driven software applications such as WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you hundreds of dollars for web page design solutions. 'Metz Hosting' delivers shared web page hosting accounts in a number of different geographical regions around the World. There is one data center facility in Chicago encompassing the US and Canada; two European datacenter facilities - in the UK and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia Pacific region. Hence, practically the whole Earth is covered to provide you and your visitors with a steady and dependable web space hosting solution at a desired location. As a whole, the shared hosting accounts supplied 'Metz Hosting' are quite well stocked and are available at a very inexpensive price (starting from $2.75 for the Starter package).

Semi-dedicated Servers

To people with little to no practice, a VPS web server may appear troublesome to manage. That's probably why 'Metz Hosting' also offers semi-dedicated web hosting servers in its main North American datacenter in Chicago. Managing these accounts is comparable to handling a conventional shared hosting account via a hosting Control Panel GUI. They have all the specs of a shared web page hosting plan such as a fee-free website building tool and a PHP script installer, but the amount of system resources typical of a semi-dedicated web server hosting plan is many times larger than that of a shared website hosting package. For example, the central processing unit power that can be used is nearly FIVE times as much as compared to the shared web page hosting accounts. When contrasted with a shared web site hosting account, the number of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is vast: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted Top-Level Domain allowance is a trend as well. The semi-dedicated server hosting accounts do not include root privileges (we, at metzens.ch, regard this as a small negative point), but the good point is that they are managed through the very same web page hosting CP user interface as the shared web site hosting packages. This indicates that a well-known graphical environment is available to all customers who do not have enough self-condifence to administer a private virtual web hosting server, but at the same time are in need of more power and supplies than a virtual private hosting server can bestow on them. This is like that because of the fact that the semi-dedicated web servers share the resources of the same powerful first-rate servers as the ones which accommodate the virtual web server packages, still, the number of the semi-dedicated hosting servers is very small (somewhere between 20 to 30 per physical machine), while the private virtual servers can reach a much higher number (eighty to 120 per physical server). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers supplied by 'Metz Hosting' can be branded as being amazingly inexpensive (as far as price is concerned), starting from $20.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 plan.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

In metzens.ch's opinion, big web sites such as social networks, community and corporate web portals or famous online shops with thousands of customers need a much more powerful hosting environment. It appears that the chaps from 'Metz Hosting' have reached the same conclusion as well. To live up to its users' requirements, 'Metz Hosting' offers a bouquet of dedicated web servers that can cope with millions of daily hits. That evaluation stands on the hardware configurations the dedicated web hosting servers sport: many-core processors, up to four GB of RAM, two thousand GB of data storage and Gigabit network interface cards will beyond doubt guarantee the fast and steady work of any sort of web site. In 'Metz Hosting's opinion, the original hardware configurations can be upgraded for more system resource-requiring sites. We, from metzens.ch, think that all dedicated server specifications furnished by 'Metz Hosting' are also suitable for initiating a hosting reseller business as every web hosting server arrives with free-of-charge invoicing software and a charge-free domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated servers provided by 'Metz Hosting' are all unmanaged. We, at metzens.ch, think that this is a little weak point, which can be amended by paying a monthly tax which amounts to $32.00 USD. So, if you are in need of assistance, the Managed Services upgrade provides several additional services such as a routine backup, software installation, server surveillance and troubleshooting operations. A selection of hosting Control Panel (CP) tools are available with each of the web servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (metzens.ch's) prediction is that the outstanding drag and drop File Manager included in the Hepsia site hosting CP will possibly render the use of any File Transfer Protocol software program futile. Our (metzens.ch's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers supplied by 'Metz Hosting' don't seem to be very low priced (yet the Hepsia website hosting CP and the unmetered hosted domain quotas will definitely make you smile), beginning from $115.00 for the Xeon Scalable 6c package.
