An assessment of GaskinTech

We, at kidzball.com, have chosen 'GaskinTech' to be our present domain and hosting provider. Therefore we imagine that this concise review of 'GaskinTech' is perhaps going to be very helpful for other people from all around the Globe who seek domain name and web hosting solutions. We say people from all around the World, because the mere fact is that 'GaskinTech' presently delivers domain and hosting services in several datacenter facility sites: in the United States of America (Chicago, IL), in the United Kingdom (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). That way, encompassing virtually the whole Earth. At least as far as the World Wide Web is concerned. So, here is what you could expect from 'GaskinTech' in a nutshell:

Shared Webspace Hosting Plans

The initial thing we, at kidzball.com, have noted is the modest prices of the shared web hosting solutions furnished by 'GaskinTech'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared web hosting. The good news here is that the website hosting accounts furnished by 'GaskinTech' are powered by a custom invented, futuristic cloud web hosting platform (each web hosting service, like email, databases, website hosting CP, disk storage, DNS, stats, etc., is being served by a separate pack of servers in a cluster). This is something EVERY cPanel web hosting provider on the Globe will have huge predicaments with, since cPanel is a single server based web space hosting environment (each web hosting service, such as email, databases, hosting Control Panel, disk storage, DNS, stats, and so on, is being served by one single server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel web space hosting providers are not able to include additional functionality and manipulate it the way they need it) and there is no open source file system (they must devise their own file platform), which is the foundation of any cloud web hosting service. Let's get back to the shared web site hosting accounts, which are powered by a real clustered web site hosting platform. With a shared website hosting account, each client pays just for his/her package, thus retaining the website hosting price really low (because lots of clients are located on one and the same hosting server). In brief, a shared hosting package, which runs on a cloud webspace hosting system, enables you to pay only for the resources that you really demand, escaping a situation where you pay for a feature-rich website hosting account that you cannot really utilize, or for a basic hosting plan that cannot host your web site. The ability to upgrade your account from one package to another with just two clicks of the mouse grants you the flexibility to kick off with a basic package and upgrade as your web site expands. So, you spare money that you can invest in advertising the site while it is still novel. Each and every web site hosting account provided by 'GaskinTech' offers an online web site builder and over 40 widely used script-driven platforms like WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you hundreds of dollars for site design solutions. 'GaskinTech' supplies shared site hosting packages in a number of different geographical regions around the Globe. There is one datacenter facility in Chicago encompassing the US and Canada; two European data center facilities - in Britain and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia Pacific region. In this way, virtually the whole Globe is encompassed to present you and your web page's visitors with a steady and fast site hosting solution at a convenient location. Altogether, the shared hosting services offered 'GaskinTech' are quite well equipped and come at a low-cost price (starting from $3.25 for the Starter plan).

Semi-dedicated Hosting Servers

To clients with little to no practice, a VPS web server may appear problematic to handle. That's perhaps why 'GaskinTech' also hosts semi-dedicated web hosting servers in its main United States data center in Chicago. Managing these accounts is similar to administering a normal shared account through a website hosting CP GUI. They have all the specs of a shared web hosting account such as a free-of-charge website builder and a web app installer, but the system resource quota offered by a semi-dedicated web server plan is many times bigger than that of a shared hosting account. For example, the CPU power that can be used is approximately FIVE times as much as compared with the shared accounts. When compared to a shared hosting plan, the quota of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is vast: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted domain quota is a principle too. The semi-dedicated server accounts do not arrive with complete server root access (we, at kidzball.com, think of this as a tiny defect), but the advantage is that they are administered via the same site hosting Control Panel user interface as the shared webspace hosting accounts. This signifies that a recognizable graphical user interface is available to all customers who are not self-confident enough to handle a virtual private hosting server, but at the same time require more power and resources than a VPS web hosting server can give them. This is so because the semi-dedicated servers share the resources of the very same powerful ultramodern web servers as the ones which accommodate the VPS hosting plans, still, the number of the semi-dedicated web hosting servers is very small (somewhere between twenty to thirty per physical machine), while the VPS servers can reach a much bigger number (80 to a hundred and twenty per physical machine). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers offered by 'GaskinTech' can be classified as being amazingly inexpensive (as far as price is concerned), beginning from $20.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 package.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

According to kidzball.com, huge web pages such as social networks, community and business portals or famous online storefronts with 1000s of clients demand a much more powerful web hosting environment. It appears that the fellows from 'GaskinTech' have arrived at the same conclusion too. To answer its clients' anticipations, 'GaskinTech' supplies an array of dedicated hosting servers that can handle millions of daily visits. That evaluation rests on the hardware specifications the hosting servers ship with: many-core processors, up to 4 GB of RAM, two thousand gigabytes of web space and Gigabit network interface cards will definitely guarantee the quick and stable work of any type of website. In 'GaskinTech's opinion, the primary hardware specifications can be upgraded for more resource-demanding sites. We, from kidzball.com, believe that all dedicated server solutions supplied by 'GaskinTech' are also appropriate for initiating a hosting reseller business as each dedicated hosting server ships with free invoice transaction software platform and a free-of-charge domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated web servers furnished by 'GaskinTech' are all unmanaged. We, at kidzball.com, think of this as a slight inconvenience, which can be amended by paying a monthly tax of $32.00 USD. So, if you need assistance, the Managed Services upgrade offers a bunch of additional services such as a regular backup, software installation, web hosting server surveillance and troubleshooting operations. An assortment of website hosting Control Panel (CP) GUIs are offered with each of the dedicated web servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (kidzball.com's) prognosis is that the amazing drag-and-drop File Manager offered by the Hepsia hosting Control Panel will perhaps make the recourse to any File Transfer Protocol software program useless. Our (kidzball.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers furnished by 'GaskinTech' don't appear to be very cheap (still the Hepsia site hosting Control Panel and the unlimited hosted domain name quotas will no doubt make you smile), commencing from $113.00 for the Xeon Scalable 6c package.
