An evaluation of Advance Softs

We, at cs-done.com, have selected 'Advance Softs' to be our present domain name and hosting supplier. Therefore we imagine that this short assessment of 'Advance Softs' is maybe going to be quite helpful for other individuals from all over the World who are looking for domain name and web hosting solutions. We state folks from all over the World, because the simple truth is that 'Advance Softs' presently offers domain and hosting services in numerous datacenter locations: in the USA (Chicago, IL), in Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, covering practically the entire World. At least as far as the Internet is concerned. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Advance Softs' in brief:

Shared Web Space Hosting Packages

The first detail we, at cs-done.com, have observed is the affordable prices of the shared hosting services provided by 'Advance Softs'. 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 plans furnished by 'Advance Softs' are powered by a custom designed, state-of-the-art cloud web hosting platform (each web hosting service, like email, databases, web page hosting Control Panel, data storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being tackled by an autonomous set of web servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting firm in the World will have considerable complications with, because cPanel is a one-server based web page hosting environment (each hosting service, like electronic mail, databases, web space hosting CP, disk space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being dealt with by one single server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel website hosting firms are unable to add new functionality and handle it the way they need it) and there is no open source file platform (they need to develop their own file system), which is the precondition of any cloud web hosting service. Let's get back to the shared web space hosting packages, which are powered by an authentic clustered site hosting platform. With a shared hosting package, each client pays solely for his/her account, thus maintaining the site hosting price amazingly low (since multiple users utilize the same hosting server). In brief, a shared hosting package, which runs on a clustered hosting system, allows you to pay only for the reserves that you really require, evading a scenario where you pay for a high-end hosting plan that you cannot really use, or for a basic website hosting account that cannot shelter your web site. The ability to upgrade your account from one plan to another with only two mouse clicks gives you the flexibility to start with a small plan and upgrade as your online presence expands. That way, you spare capital that you can expend on publicizing the web site while it is still novel. Every site hosting package supplied by 'Advance Softs' arrives with an online web site builder and over forty widely used script-driven software applications including WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you hundreds of dollars for site design services. 'Advance Softs' offers shared web page hosting packages in a number of different geographical regions around the World. There is one data center facility in Chicago encompassing the USA and Canada; two European datacenter facilities - in Britain and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia Pacific region. That way, approximately the whole planet is encompassed to supply you and your visitors with a stable and dependable web space hosting solution at a convenient place. On the whole, the shared hosting plans delivered 'Advance Softs' are really well appointed and are available at a very reasonable price (beginning from $4.17 for the Starter package).

Semi-dedicated Web Servers

To users with little to no experience, a VPS web server may appear problematic to administer. That's perhaps why 'Advance Softs' also hosts semi-dedicated web hosting servers in its main United States datacenter in Chicago. Managing these accounts is comparable to managing a standard shared hosting package through a site hosting Control Panel tool. They have all the functionalities of a shared account such as a fee-free website building tool and a web application installer, but the system resource quota provided by a semi-dedicated web hosting plan is many times larger than that of a shared web site hosting plan. For instance, the CPU power that can be used is almost FIVE times as much as compared with the shared site hosting plans. When matched against a shared web space hosting package, the number of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting accounts is big: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted Top-Level Domain allowance is a pattern too. The semi-dedicated hosting server accounts do not ship with root-level access (we, at cs-done.com, regard this as a minor drawback), but the advantage is that they are administered via the same web site hosting Control Panel GUI as the shared website hosting accounts. This signifies that a known GUI is offered to all customers who do not feel self-confident enough to administer a virtual private web server, yet need more power and reserves than a Virtual Private Server can confer to them. This is so because the semi-dedicated hosting servers share the resources of the very same powerful top-class hosting servers as the ones which host the virtual hosting server accounts, still, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is very small (somewhere between 20 to thirty per server), while the VPSs can reach a much higher number (80 to a hundred and twenty per server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers furnished by 'Advance Softs' can be branded as being quite inexpensive (as far as cost is concerned), commencing from $20.00 for the Level 1 plan.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

According to cs-done.com, huge sites such as social networks, community and business web portals or popular web stores with thousands of customers need a much more powerful web space hosting solution. It seems that the folks from 'Advance Softs' have drawn the same conclusion as well. To fulfil its users' anticipations, 'Advance Softs' supplies a selection of dedicated hosting servers that can manage millions of daily visits. That assessment is based on the hardware specs the dedicated web servers are offering: many-core processors, up to 4 gigabytes of RAM, 2000 GB of disk space and Gigabit NICs will doubtlessly ensure the quick and steady performance of any type of website. In 'Advance Softs's opinion, the primary hardware specifications can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding sites. We, from cs-done.com, think that all dedicated server configurations delivered by 'Advance Softs' are also suitable for launching a hosting reseller business as each and every web hosting server comes with free-of-charge invoicing software and a bonus domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated servers supplied by 'Advance Softs' are all unmanaged. We, at cs-done.com, deem this a tiny weak point, which can be rectified by paying a monthly fee of $32.00 USD. So, if you demand support, the Managed Services upgrade provides a few additional services such as a regular backup, software installation, dedicated web server surveillance and troubleshooting operations. A bunch of site hosting Control Panel (CP) tools are available with each of the servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (cs-done.com's) forecast is that the splendid point-and-click File Manager available in the Hepsia webspace hosting CP will probably make the utilization of any FTP software futile. Our (cs-done.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers delivered by 'Advance Softs' don't appear to be very modestly priced (yet the Hepsia web page hosting CP and the unlimited hosted domain quotas will beyond doubt make you smile), beginning from $115.00 for the Xeon Scalable 6c plan.
