A review of Metz Hosting

We, at v-mw.ch, have selected 'Metz Hosting' to be our current domain and web hosting supplier. Hence we imagine that this succinct evaluation of 'Metz Hosting' is probably going to be very helpful for other individuals from all around the World who are searching for domain name and web hosting solutions. We say individuals from all around the World, since the simple truth is that 'Metz Hosting' presently distributes domain and hosting services in multiple datacenter locations: in America (Chicago, IL), in the United Kingdom (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). That way, encompassing nearly the entire World. At least from the point of view of the Internet. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Metz Hosting' in a nutshell:

Shared Web Page Hosting Plans

The first thing we, at v-mw.ch, have perceived is the cut-rate prices of the shared web hosting services provided by 'Metz Hosting'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared hosting. The good thing here is that the web site hosting plans offered by 'Metz Hosting' are driven by a custom developed, cutting edge cloud web hosting solution (each web hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, webspace hosting Control Panel, web space, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being served by a different stack of servers in a cluster). This is something EVERY cPanel web hosting firm in the World will have mammoth complications with, since cPanel is a single server based website hosting environment (each hosting service, like email, databases, webspace hosting Control Panel, disk space, DNS, stats, and so on, is being tackled by one and the same hosting server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel web hosting providers are unable to include new functionality and manipulate it the way they need it) and there is no open source file platform (they must construct their own file system), which is the foundation of any cloud web hosting service. Let's get back to the shared website hosting plans, which are powered by an authentic cloud web site hosting system. With a shared site hosting package, each customer pays only for his/her account, thus maintaining the price amazingly low (since many customers share one and the same web server). In a nutshell, a shared hosting package, which runs on a cloud webspace hosting solution, permits you to pay solely for the reserves that you indeed demand, evading a scenario where you pay for a high-end website hosting account that you cannot actually utilize, or for a basic website hosting account that cannot host your website. The option to upgrade your account from one package to another with just two mouse clicks gives you the flexibility to start with a small plan and upgrade as your web page grows. In this way, you spare funds that you can spend on publicizing the web site while it is still novel. Each and every hosting plan delivered by 'Metz Hosting' comes with an online website building tool and over forty widely used script-driven platforms among them WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you 100s of dollars for web page design services. 'Metz Hosting' offers shared web page hosting solutions in several different regions across the Globe. There is one data center facility in Chicago covering the United States and Canada; two European datacenter facilities - in the United Kingdom and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia Pacific. That way, practically the entire Globe is encompassed to present you and your site's visitors with a steady and dependable webspace hosting service at a nearby place. Altogether, the shared hosting services offered 'Metz Hosting' are very well stocked and come at a good price (starting from $2.75 for the Starter plan).

Semi-dedicated Web Hosting Servers

To users with little or no experience, a VPS web hosting server may seem troublesome to handle. That's perhaps why 'Metz Hosting' also hosts semi-dedicated hosting servers in its principal United States server farm in Chicago. Managing these accounts is similar to managing a typical shared package through a web site hosting CP interface. They have all the functionalities of a shared webspace hosting account such as a free-of-charge web site builder and a PHP script installation tool, but the system resource quota provided by a semi-dedicated package is many times greater than that of a shared site hosting plan. For example, the central processing unit power that can be utilized is approximately 5 times as much as compared with the shared website hosting packages. When contrasted with a shared website hosting plan, the quota of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting accounts is immense: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted top-level domain name quota is a principle as well. The semi-dedicated web server packages do not offer full server root access (we, at v-mw.ch, deem this a minor drawback), but the advantage is that they are managed via the very same web hosting CP user interface as the shared web site hosting plans. This suggests that a recognizable graphical interface is accessible by all users who do not have enough confidence to administer a virtual private hosting server, yet require more power and features than a VPS web server can confer to them. This is like that owing to the fact that the semi-dedicated web hosting servers share the system resources of the very same powerful cutting edge web hosting servers as the ones which host the virtual private web hosting server plans, still, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is very low (somewhere between 20 to thirty per physical machine), while the VPSs can reach a much higher number (80 to 120 per physical machine). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers provided by 'Metz Hosting' can be categorized as being amazingly cheap (as far as price is concerned), commencing from $20.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 package.

Dedicated Web Servers

In v-mw.ch's opinion, big websites such as social networks, community and corporate portals or famous online shops with 1000s of clients require a much more powerful web site hosting environment. It seems that the fellows from 'Metz Hosting' have drawn the same conclusion as well. To answer its customers' needs, 'Metz Hosting' offers a bouquet of dedicated web servers that can cope with millions of daily hits. That assessment stands on the hardware configurations the dedicated servers sport: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to 4 gigabytes of RAM, 2000 gigabytes of storage space and Gigabit network cards will doubtlessly ensure the quick and stable work of any type of website. According to 'Metz Hosting', the original hardware specifications can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding websites. We, from v-mw.ch, consider that all dedicated server accounts provided by 'Metz Hosting' are also suitable for commencing a hosting reseller business as each and every web server provides free-of-charge invoice transaction software platform and a fee-free domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated servers provided by 'Metz Hosting' are all unmanaged. We, at v-mw.ch, think of this as a tiny negative point, which can be corrected by paying a monthly tax which amounts to $32.00 USD. So, if you demand help, the Managed Services upgrade provides a few extra services such as a regular backup, software installation, web server surveillance and troubleshooting procedures. An array of web page hosting Control Panel (CP) GUIs are available with each of the servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (v-mw.ch's) prediction is that the amazing point and click File Manager included in the Hepsia site hosting Control Panel will perhaps render the use of any File Transfer Protocol client pointless. Our (v-mw.ch's) inference is that the dedicated servers provided by 'Metz Hosting' don't seem to be very low priced (still the Hepsia web space hosting Control Panel and the unlimited hosted domain quotas will definitely make you smile), starting from $115.00 for the Xeon Scalable 6c package.
