An assessment of NTC Hosting

We, at kltelecom.com, have chosen 'NTC Hosting' to be our current domain and web hosting vendor. Therefore we imagine that this short assessment of 'NTC Hosting' is perhaps going to be quite helpful for other individuals from all around the World who need domain name and web hosting services. We state individuals from all around the World, because the mere truth is that 'NTC Hosting' currently furnishes domain and hosting services in multiple datacenter sites: in America (Chicago, IL), in Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, embracing nearly the whole Globe. At least from the point of view of the Internet. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'NTC Hosting' in a few words:

Shared Site Hosting Services

The first detail we, at kltelecom.com, have noted is the affordable prices of the shared web site hosting packages furnished by 'NTC Hosting'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared hosting. The good news here is that the webspace hosting packages delivered by 'NTC Hosting' are driven by an in-house devised, innovative cloud web hosting platform (each hosting service, like email, databases, site hosting Control Panel, storage space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being dealt with by an autonomous set of web servers in a cluster). This is something ANY cPanel web hosting corporation on the Earth will have enormous troubles with, because cPanel is a single server based website hosting platform (each web hosting service, such as email, databases, hosting Control Panel, storage space, DNS, stats, and so on, is being served by one single web hosting server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel-based web site hosting vendors cannot add additional functionality and manipulate it the way they want it) and there is no open source file platform (they need to build their own file platform), which is at the bottom of any cloud web hosting service. Let's get back to the shared hosting accounts, which are driven by a genuine clustered web page hosting solution. With a shared hosting account, each customer pays solely for his/her account, thus keeping the web site hosting price very low (because numerous clients utilize the same hosting server). In brief, a shared hosting package, which runs on a cloud web hosting system, permits you to pay only for the resources that you indeed need, precluding a situation where you pay for a high-end web hosting account that you cannot really use, or for a basic site hosting package that cannot accommodate your web site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one plan to another with only 2 clicks grants you the flexibility to start with a low-end package and upgrade as your web page grows. Hence, you spare capital that you can invest in publicizing the website while it is still brand new. Each web space hosting package furnished by 'NTC Hosting' ships with an online site building tool and more than forty popular script platforms like WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you 100s of dollars for web design services. 'NTC Hosting' supplies shared webspace hosting plans in several different geographical regions around the Globe. There is one data center facility in Chicago covering the United States of America and Canada; two European server farms - in Great Britain and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia-Pacific. Thus, approximately the whole World is encompassed to provide you and your web site's visitors with a stable and dependable website hosting service at a preferred location. All in all, the shared hosting services furnished 'NTC Hosting' are quite well equipped and come at an excellent price (starting from $4.95 for the Budget plan).

Semi-dedicated Web Servers

To clients with little or no experience, a virtual web hosting server may seem hard to handle. That's probably why 'NTC Hosting' also stores semi-dedicated web servers in its main US server farm in Chicago. Managing these accounts is comparable to administering a standard shared webspace hosting plan via a web hosting Control Panel user interface. They have all the features of a shared web hosting account such as a free-of-cost website building tool and a web application installer, but the amount of system resources provided by a semi-dedicated web server hosting plan is many times greater than that of a shared website hosting plan. For example, the central processing unit power that can be used is about 5 times as much as compared to the shared web hosting accounts. When compared with a shared site hosting account, the quota of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is immense: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted TLD allowance is a norm too. The semi-dedicated server web hosting accounts do not come with complete root access (we, at kltelecom.com, think of this as a small negative point), but the advantage is that they are managed through the same web page hosting CP user interface as the shared website hosting packages. This implies that a recognizable graphical interface is offered to all clients who are not confident enough to handle a private virtual hosting server, yet demand more power and resources than a private virtual server can supply them with. This is so owing to the fact that the semi-dedicated web servers share the resources of the very same powerful first-class web hosting servers as the ones which accommodate the private virtual hosting server packages, however, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is quite low (somewhere between 20 to thirty per physical server), whereas the VPS web servers can reach a much greater number (80 to one hundred and twenty per physical server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers provided by 'NTC Hosting' can be branded as being amazingly affordable (as far as cost is concerned), commencing from $35.95 for the Pioneer package.

Dedicated Web Servers

In kltelecom.com's opinion, large websites such as social networks, community and corporate portals or popular web stores with thousands of customers need a much more powerful web page hosting platform. It seems that the guys from 'NTC Hosting' have arrived at the same conclusion as well. To answer its customers' requirements, 'NTC Hosting' provides a collection of dedicated hosting servers that can handle millions of daily visits. That assessment rests on the hardware specs the web hosting servers are offering: many-core processors, up to 4 gigabytes of RAM, 2000 gigabytes of disk space and Gigabit network cards will no doubt ensure the quick and steady performance of any kind of site. In 'NTC Hosting's opinion, the primary hardware specs can be upgraded for more system resource-requiring sites. We, from kltelecom.com, think that all dedicated server configurations offered by 'NTC Hosting' are also suitable for initiating a hosting reseller business as each and every server ships with free billing transaction software and a cost-free domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated web servers delivered by 'NTC Hosting' are all unmanaged. We, at kltelecom.com, think of this as a minor minus, which can be corrected by paying a monthly tax which amounts to $32.00 USD. So, if you need aid, the Managed Services upgrade provides an array of additional services such as a regular backup, software installation, web server surveillance and troubleshooting procedures. A bunch of Control Panel (CP) interfaces are offered with each of the servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (kltelecom.com's) prediction is that the magnificent point-and-click File Manager added in the Hepsia webspace hosting CP will perhaps make the recourse to any File Transfer Protocol client futile. Our (kltelecom.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers offered by 'NTC Hosting' don't seem to be very affordably priced (still the Hepsia web page hosting Control Panel and the unmetered hosted domain allowance will no doubt make you smile), starting from $40.00 for the Gold 1 package.
