An assessment of Generation Solutions

We, at cdarh.org, have chosen 'Generation Solutions' to be our present domain and web hosting supplier. Hence we believe that this short assessment of 'Generation Solutions' is perchance going to be very useful for other people from all over the World in need of domain name and web hosting solutions. We say folks from all over the World, because the mere fact is that 'Generation Solutions' currently furnishes domain and hosting services in multiple data center sites: in North America (Chicago, IL), in Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, embracing approximately the entire Earth. At least as far as the Internet is concerned. So, here is what you could expect from 'Generation Solutions' in a few words:

Shared Website Hosting Solutions

The initial detail we, at cdarh.org, have discerned is the low prices of the shared web site hosting accounts delivered by 'Generation Solutions'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared hosting. The good news here is that the hosting accounts supplied by 'Generation Solutions' are driven by an in-house designed, state-of-the-art cloud web hosting platform (each web hosting service, like email, databases, web hosting CP, web space, DNS, stats, etc., is being handled by an individual stack of servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting company in the World will have huge predicaments with, since cPanel is a one single server based web hosting environment (each hosting service, like mail, databases, web page hosting CP, disk storage, DNS, stats, etc., is being tackled by one and the same web hosting server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel web page hosting firms are unable to include extra functionality and manipulate it the way they need it) and there is no open source file platform (they have to concoct their own file system), which is the precondition of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared web site hosting accounts, which are driven by a genuine clustered website hosting platform. With a shared web site hosting package, each client pays just for his/her package, thus retaining the webspace hosting price really low (because lots of customers use the same web hosting server). In short, a shared hosting account, which is hosted on a cloud webspace hosting platform, allows you to pay solely for the resources that you actually demand, avoiding a situation where you pay for an advanced web hosting account that you cannot truly use, or for a small site hosting package that cannot accommodate your site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one plan to another with just 2 mouse clicks gives you the flexibility to commence with a low-end package and upgrade as your web page grows. So, you save money that you can spend on publicizing the web site while it is still novel. Each web site hosting plan furnished by 'Generation Solutions' arrives with an online website builder and over 40 widely used script platforms such as WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you hundreds of dollars for web page design solutions. 'Generation Solutions' furnishes shared webspace hosting accounts in a number of different geographical regions around the Globe. There is one datacenter in Chicago encompassing the USA and Canada; 2 European datacenter facilities - in the UK and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia Pacific. In this way, approximately the whole World is encompassed to supply you and your site's visitors with a steady and reliable hosting service at a convenient location. As a whole, the shared hosting solutions provided 'Generation Solutions' are quite well appointed and come at an attractive price (beginning from $5.83 for the Basic package).

Semi-dedicated Web Servers

To customers with little to no experience, a virtual private web server may appear tough to handle. That's perhaps why 'Generation Solutions' also hosts semi-dedicated web hosting servers in its principal US server farm facility in Chicago. Managing these accounts is comparable to managing a standard shared website hosting plan through a Control Panel tool. They have all the specs of a shared web page hosting package such as a free-of-cost web site building tool and a PHP script installer, but the amount of system resources offered by a semi-dedicated hosting server account is many times bigger than that of a shared site hosting account. For instance, the CPU power that can be utilized is approximately 5 times as much as compared with the shared site hosting packages. When compared to a shared web hosting plan, the number of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is great: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted domain name quota is a norm too. The semi-dedicated server accounts do not offer root privileges (we, at cdarh.org, think that this is a little weakness), but the good point is that they are administered via the very same web hosting CP interface as the shared site hosting plans. This implies that a recognizable GUI is available to all users who do not feel self-confident enough to handle a virtual web hosting server, but at the same time require more power and reserves than a virtual private web server can give them. This is so because of the fact that the semi-dedicated web hosting servers share the system resources of the very same powerful cutting edge servers as the ones which host the private virtual server plans, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is very small (somewhere between 20 to 30 per physical machine), while the Virtual Private Servers can reach a much higher number (eighty to a hundred and twenty per physical server). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers provided by 'Generation Solutions' can be dubbed as being quite affordable (as far as price is concerned), beginning from $20.00 for the Semi Base plan.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

According to cdarh.org, big web sites such as social networks, community and business web portals or famous web stores with thousands of clients need a much more powerful site hosting platform. It seems that the blokes from 'Generation Solutions' have arrived at the same conclusion as well. To satisfy its clients' anticipations, 'Generation Solutions' provides a collection of dedicated servers that can cope with millions of daily visits. That assessment rests on the hardware specs the dedicated servers sport: multi-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, 2000 GB of disk space and Gigabit network cards will undoubtedly guarantee the quick and steady performance of any kind of web site. In 'Generation Solutions's opinion, the original hardware configurations can be upgraded for more system resource-requiring sites. We, from cdarh.org, believe that all dedicated server configurations offered by 'Generation Solutions' are also appropriate for beginning a hosting reseller business as every server arrives with free invoice transaction software platform and a free-of-charge domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated hosting servers offered by 'Generation Solutions' are all unmanaged. We, at cdarh.org, deem this a tiny inconvenience, which can be amended by paying a monthly fee of $36.00 USD. So, if you demand support, the Managed Services upgrade provides an assortment of extra services such as a routine backup, software installation, hosting server monitoring and troubleshooting operations. An array of webspace hosting Control Panel (CP) GUIs are available with each of the dedicated web hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (cdarh.org's) forecast is that the amazing point and click File Manager offered by the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel will perhaps make the utilization of any File Transfer Protocol client pointless. Our (cdarh.org's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers furnished by 'Generation Solutions' don't appear to be very cheap (still the Hepsia web space hosting CP and the unlimited hosted domain name allowance will doubtlessly make you smile), beginning from $130.00 for the AMD 1 plan.
