A survey of Webtotal

We, at houstontotal.com, have selected 'Webtotal' to be our current domain name and web hosting provider. Hence we presume that this short assessment of 'Webtotal' is perchance going to be very useful for other individuals from all over the World who are searching for domain name and web hosting services. We state folks from all around the Globe, because the mere truth is that 'Webtotal' presently furnishes domain and hosting services in numerous data center facility locations: in North America (Chicago, IL), in the United Kingdom (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, covering approximately the entire planet. At least from the point of view of the Internet. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Webtotal' in a nutshell:

Shared Webspace Hosting Packages

The first thing we, at houstontotal.com, have discerned is the inexpensive prices of the shared web hosting accounts offered by 'Webtotal'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared hosting. The good news here is that the website hosting accounts provided by 'Webtotal' are driven by an in-house devised, avant-garde cloud web hosting platform (each hosting service, such as mail, databases, web page hosting CP, data storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, runs on a separate host of servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting distributor on the Globe will have enormous predicaments with, since cPanel is a one-server based site hosting platform (each hosting service, such as mail, databases, website hosting CP, disk storage, DNS, stats, and so on, is being tackled by one and the same hosting server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel web space hosting suppliers cannot add extra functionality and manipulate it the way they need it) and there is no open source file system (they have to design their own file system), which is at the heart of any cloud web hosting service. Let's get back to the shared hosting plans, which are powered by an authentic cloud site hosting system. With a shared plan, each customer pays only for his/her plan, thus keeping the web hosting price really low (since lots of clients share one and the same web server). In brief, a shared hosting account, which is being served by a clustered web page hosting platform, allows you to pay only for the resources that you indeed demand, avoiding a scenario where you pay for a high-end web hosting account that you cannot truly utilize, or for a tiny web page hosting plan that cannot accommodate your web page. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with just 2 clicks gives you the flexibility to commence with a tiny package and upgrade as your web page expands. Hence, you spare capital that you can invest in promoting the web page while it is still brand new. Each and every webspace hosting plan furnished by 'Webtotal' boasts an online web site builder and more than 40 popular script platforms such as WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you hundreds of dollars for web design services. 'Webtotal' offers shared website hosting solutions in a number of different regions around the World. There is one data center facility in Chicago covering the USA and Canada; two European datacenters - in Great Britain and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia-Pacific. That way, virtually the whole Earth is encompassed to supply you and your visitors with a steady and reliable web page hosting service at a desired location. As a whole, the shared hosting solutions supplied 'Webtotal' are quite well furnished and are available at a very reasonable price (starting from $3.20 for the Basic plan).

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

According to houstontotal.com, enormous web sites such as social networks, community and corporate web portals or popular online shops with 1000s of customers demand a much more powerful web space hosting environment. It seems that the fellows from 'Webtotal' have come to the same conclusion as well. To live up to its users' anticipations, 'Webtotal' supplies an array of dedicated web servers that can manage millions of daily hits. That estimation rests on the hardware specifications the web hosting servers come with: many-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, 2000 GB of data storage and Gigabit NICs will doubtlessly ensure the quick and stable performance of any kind of web site. In 'Webtotal's opinion, the original hardware specifications can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding websites. We, from houstontotal.com, believe that all dedicated server plans delivered by 'Webtotal' are also suitable for starting a hosting reseller business as each server includes free invoice transaction software platform and a free-of-cost domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated web servers supplied by 'Webtotal' are all unmanaged. We, at houstontotal.com, regard this as a slight minus, which can be corrected by paying a monthly fee of $32.00 USD. So, if you demand assistance, the Managed Services upgrade includes an array of additional services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. Several web page hosting Control Panel (CP) user interfaces are offered with each of the web hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (houstontotal.com's) forecast is that the remarkable drag-and-drop File Manager available in the Hepsia website hosting CP will possibly render the utilization of any File Transfer Protocol software program useless. Our (houstontotal.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers furnished by 'Webtotal' don't appear to be very cheap (still the Hepsia webspace hosting CP and the unlimited hosted domain allowance will no doubt make you smile), beginning from $145.00 for the Xeon Scalable 8c plan.
