A survey of Maria Online

We, at bedouin-travel.com, have selected 'Maria Online' to be our present domain and hosting distributor. Therefore we suppose that this succinct review of 'Maria Online' is probably going to be quite helpful for other individuals from all over the Globe in search for domain name and web hosting solutions. We say people from all over the Globe, because the mere fact is that 'Maria Online' currently delivers domain and hosting services in multiple data center facility locations: in North America (Chicago, IL), in the UK (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). That way, covering approximately the whole Globe. At least as far as the Internet is concerned. So, here is what you could expect from 'Maria Online' in short:

Shared Web Page Hosting Accounts

The initial detail we, at bedouin-travel.com, have seen is the low prices of the shared website hosting accounts delivered by 'Maria Online'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared hosting. The good thing here is that the web site hosting plans furnished by 'Maria Online' are driven by an in-house devised, cutting edge cloud web hosting platform (each web hosting service, such as email, databases, web page hosting CP, data storage, DNS, stats, and so on, is being tackled by an independent group of web hosting servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance EVERY cPanel web hosting company on the Globe will have immense difficulties with, because cPanel is a one-server based web space hosting environment (each web hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, web page hosting Control Panel, data storage, DNS, stats, and so on, is being run on one single server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel web hosting companies are not able to include additional functionality and manipulate it the way they need it) and there is no open source file system (they have to construct their own file system), which is at the bottom of any cloud web hosting service. Let's get back to the shared webspace hosting plans, which are driven by an actual cloud web page hosting system. With a shared web hosting account, each client pays just for his/her plan, thus preserving the web site hosting price really low (because many clients utilize one and the same web server). In brief, a shared hosting plan, which is being served by a cloud webspace hosting system, enables you to pay just for the resources that you indeed need, avoiding a scenario where you pay for a powerful web site hosting plan that you cannot truly use, or for a low-end site hosting plan that cannot handle your web page. The option to upgrade your account from one package to another with only two clicks gives you the flexibility to begin with a basic package and upgrade as your website expands. So, you spare capital that you can expend on advertising the site while it is still new. Every site hosting account supplied by 'Maria Online' arrives with an online web site building tool and more than 40 popular script software applications such as WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you 100s of dollars for site design services. 'Maria Online' furnishes shared web hosting solutions in a number of different countries around the Globe. There is one server farm facility in Chicago encompassing the US and Canada; two European datacenter facilities - in Britain and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia Pacific region. Hence, practically the entire Earth is encompassed to provide you and your visitors with a steady and dependable web page hosting solution at a convenient place. As a whole, the shared hosting services supplied 'Maria Online' are very well furnished and are available at a very good price (beginning from $6.25 for the Starter plan).

Semi-dedicated Web Hosting Servers

To customers with little or no experience, a VPS server may appear complicated to handle. That's perhaps why 'Maria Online' also keeps semi-dedicated hosting servers in its main US server farm facility in Chicago. Managing these accounts is similar to managing a conventional shared web hosting plan via a web space hosting CP interface. They have all the specs of a shared web site hosting package such as a fee-free website building tool and a script installer, but the system resource quota offered by a semi-dedicated server hosting account is many times larger than that of a shared web hosting plan. For instance, the CPU power that can be used is approximately FIVE times as much as compared with the shared plans. When compared with a shared web page hosting account, the quota of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is enormous: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted domain name quota is a principle too. The semi-dedicated web hosting server plans do not include root-level access (we, at bedouin-travel.com, think that this is a little downside), but the benefit is that they are administered through the same web page hosting Control Panel user interface as the shared webspace hosting accounts. This goes to say that a familiar graphical user interface is offered to all clients who do not feel confident enough to handle a virtual web server, but at the same time are in need of more power and system resources than a VPS web hosting server can deliver. This is like that because of the fact that the semi-dedicated web servers share the reserves of the very same powerful first-class servers as the ones which host the Virtual Private Server web hosting packages, still, the number of the semi-dedicated web hosting servers is quite small (somewhere between 20 to 30 per physical server), whereas the VPS servers can reach a much bigger number (80 to 120 per physical machine). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers supplied by 'Maria Online' can be classified as being very inexpensive (as far as cost is concerned), starting from $40.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 package.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

According to bedouin-travel.com, large web pages such as social networks, community and business web portals or popular web storefronts with 1000s of customers demand a much more powerful web hosting solution. It appears that the chaps from 'Maria Online' have reached the same conclusion too. To satisfy its users' expectations, 'Maria Online' supplies an array of dedicated servers that can handle millions of daily visits. That assessment rests on the hardware specifications the web servers are offering: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to four GB of RAM, 2000 GB of data storage and Gigabit network cards will definitely guarantee the fast and stable work of any kind of site. According to 'Maria Online', the original hardware specs can be upgraded for more system resource-requiring web sites. We, from bedouin-travel.com, deem that all dedicated server accounts delivered by 'Maria Online' are also suitable for commencing a hosting reseller business as each and every dedicated hosting server ships with free-of-cost billing transaction software platform and a cost-free domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated hosting servers supplied by 'Maria Online' are all unmanaged. We, at bedouin-travel.com, deem this a slight drawback, which can be amended by paying a monthly fee of $36.00 USD. So, if you are in need of help, the Managed Services upgrade provides various extra services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated web hosting server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. A bunch of web site hosting CP (CP) GUIs are available with each of the dedicated web servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (bedouin-travel.com's) prediction is that the great point and click File Manager offered by the Hepsia Control Panel will probably render the utilization of any FTP software program pointless. Our (bedouin-travel.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers offered by 'Maria Online' don't seem to be very cheap (still the Hepsia Control Panel and the unlimited hosted domain quotas will undoubtedly make you smile), commencing from $95.00 for the Xeon E3 v5 package.
