An evaluation of T-HORIZON

We, at mindbytestudios.com, have selected 'T-HORIZON' to be our present domain name and web hosting distributor. This is why we deem that this short evaluation of 'T-HORIZON' is perhaps going to be very helpful for other people from all around the World who are searching for domain name and web hosting services. We state folks from all around the Globe, since the simple truth is that 'T-HORIZON' presently offers domain and hosting services in numerous datacenter facility sites: in North America (Chicago, IL), in the United Kingdom (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, covering approximately the whole Earth. At least from the point of view of the Internet. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'T-HORIZON' in brief:

Shared Site Hosting Accounts

The first thing we, at mindbytestudios.com, have noted is the low-cost prices of the shared web hosting accounts delivered by 'T-HORIZON'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared web hosting. The good thing here is that the web site hosting plans offered by 'T-HORIZON' are powered by a custom designed, advanced cloud web hosting platform (each web hosting service, like mail, databases, web space hosting Control Panel, web space, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being tackled by an individual host of hosting servers in a cluster). This is something EVERY cPanel web hosting corporation on the Earth will have great complications with, since cPanel is a single server based web site hosting platform (each hosting service, such as email, databases, web site hosting Control Panel, data storage, DNS, stats, etc., is being handled by one single web hosting server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel-based site hosting distributors 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 develop their own file platform), which is the foundation of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared hosting plans, which are powered by a real cloud web space hosting system. With a shared web page hosting plan, each client pays just for his/her plan, thus preserving the price really low (since many customers use the same server). In a few words, a shared hosting package, which runs on a cloud site hosting platform, allows you to pay just for the reserves that you really demand, precluding a situation where you pay for an advanced site hosting package that you cannot truly use, or for a tiny web space hosting package that cannot host your web site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one plan to another with just 2 mouse clicks grants you the flexibility to commence with a tiny plan and upgrade as your web presence grows. In this way, you economize funds that you can invest in promoting the web page while it is still brand new. Every site hosting account furnished by 'T-HORIZON' arrives with an online web site builder and over forty popular script platforms such as WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you hundreds of dollars for web page design services. 'T-HORIZON' distributes shared web page hosting solutions in a number of different regions across the Globe. There is one server farm facility in Chicago encompassing the US and Canada; two European datacenters - in England and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia Pacific region. That way, approximately the whole Globe is encompassed to present you and your visitors with a stable and reliable webspace hosting service at a nearby place. All in all, the shared hosting solutions provided 'T-HORIZON' are really well appointed and come at a good price (beginning from $3.42 for the Standard package).

Semi-dedicated Servers

To users with little or no practice, a private virtual web hosting server may appear complicated to handle. That's probably why 'T-HORIZON' also stores semi-dedicated web servers in its principal US data center facility in Chicago. Managing these packages is similar to handling a normal shared webspace hosting account through a web page hosting Control Panel GUI. They have all the features of a shared webspace hosting package such as a free site builder and a web application installer, but the amount of system resources typical of a semi-dedicated server account is many times bigger than that of a shared web hosting plan. For instance, the central processing unit power that can be utilized is almost FIVE times as much as compared to the shared site hosting plans. When contrasted with a shared web page hosting plan, the number of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting accounts is vast: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted domain name allowance is a norm too. The semi-dedicated web hosting plans do not come with root privileges (we, at mindbytestudios.com, count this as a tiny downside), but the benefit is that they are managed via the same site hosting CP interface as the shared website hosting accounts. This hints that a familiar graphical interface is available to all clients who do not have enough self-condifence to administer a virtual private web hosting server, yet demand more power and resources than a virtual private web hosting server can confer to them. This is so due to the fact that the semi-dedicated web hosting servers share the reserves of the same powerful cutting edge servers as the ones which accommodate the private virtual web server hosting packages, however, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is very small (somewhere between twenty to 30 per physical machine), whereas the private virtual hosting servers can reach a much higher number (eighty to a hundred and twenty per server). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers furnished by 'T-HORIZON' can be labeled as being very cheap (as far as price is concerned), commencing from $19.00 for the Galaxy plan.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

According to mindbytestudios.com, big sites such as social networks, community and corporate web portals or famous online storefronts with thousands of customers require a much more powerful webspace hosting solution. It appears that the blokes from 'T-HORIZON' have come to the same conclusion as well. To fulfil its users' expectations, 'T-HORIZON' provides a bouquet of dedicated web hosting servers that can manage millions of daily visits. That evaluation stands on the hardware configurations the hosting servers come with: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to four GB of RAM, 2000 GB of data storage and Gigabit NICs will beyond doubt guarantee the quick and stable performance of any type of site. According to 'T-HORIZON', the original hardware specs can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding websites. We, from mindbytestudios.com, think that all dedicated server accounts delivered by 'T-HORIZON' are also suitable for kickstarting a hosting reseller business as every web hosting server comes with free-of-charge invoicing software platform and a complimentary domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated servers supplied by 'T-HORIZON' are all unmanaged. We, at mindbytestudios.com, think of this as a tiny minus, which can be adjusted by paying a monthly fee of $32.00 USD. So, if you require backing, the Managed Services upgrade provides a bunch of supplementary services such as a routine backup, software installation, hosting server surveillance and troubleshooting operations. Several Control Panel (CP) tools are offered with each of the dedicated web servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (mindbytestudios.com's) forecast is that the exceptional point-and-click File Manager available in the Hepsia webspace hosting Control Panel will probably render the utilization of any File Transfer Protocol software program futile. Our (mindbytestudios.com's) inference is that the dedicated servers delivered by 'T-HORIZON' don't appear to be very modestly priced (still the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and the unmetered hosted domain quotas will definitely make you smile), beginning from $115.00 for the Xeon Scalable 6c plan.
