An assessment of Angry Dog Hosting Company

We, at paulwhitehouse.co.uk, have selected 'Angry Dog Hosting Company' to be our current domain name and web hosting provider. Therefore we believe that this succinct review of 'Angry Dog Hosting Company' is perhaps going to be quite helpful for other people from all over the Globe in need of domain name and web hosting services. We say individuals from all around the World, because the mere fact is that 'Angry Dog Hosting Company' currently delivers domain and hosting services in numerous server farm sites: in America (Chicago, IL), in the United Kingdom (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). That way, covering virtually the whole Earth. At least from the point of view of the World Wide Web. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Angry Dog Hosting Company' in short:

Shared Website Hosting Packages

The first detail we, at paulwhitehouse.co.uk, have discerned is the cheap prices of the shared web page hosting solutions offered by 'Angry Dog Hosting Company'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared web hosting. The good thing here is that the site hosting plans provided by 'Angry Dog Hosting Company' are powered by a custom devised, innovative cloud web hosting platform (each hosting service, like electronic mail, databases, web hosting Control Panel, storage space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being dealt with by an autonomous bunch of web hosting servers in a cluster). This is something ANY cPanel web hosting supplier on the Earth will have big predicaments with, since cPanel is a one single server based web page hosting platform (each web hosting service, like mail, databases, web space hosting Control Panel, storage space, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being served by a single server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel web space hosting providers are not able to add new functionality and handle it the way they want it) and there is no open source file system (they must construct their own file system), which is the prerequisite of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared web page hosting plans, which are driven by an authentic clustered website hosting system. With a shared web hosting package, each customer pays just for his/her account, thus maintaining the hosting price really low (because numerous clients utilize one and the same hosting server). In short, a shared hosting account, which runs on a cloud website hosting platform, permits you to pay solely for the reserves that you indeed require, refraining from a scenario where you pay for a feature-rich website hosting package that you cannot actually use, or for a low-end website hosting plan that cannot shelter your site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one plan to another with just 2 mouse clicks grants you the flexibility to begin with a basic package and upgrade as your web site grows. In this way, you save cash that you can spend on publicizing the website while it is still brand new. Each and every web space hosting package offered by 'Angry Dog Hosting Company' sports an online website builder and more than forty popular script-driven software platforms such as WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you 100s of dollars for web design solutions. 'Angry Dog Hosting Company' offers shared web page hosting accounts in several different geographical regions across the Globe. There is one server farm facility in Chicago covering the USA and Canada; 2 European server farms - in the UK and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia Pacific region. That way, almost the whole Earth is covered to present you and your web page's visitors with a stable and reliable webspace hosting solution at a desired place. On the whole, the shared hosting accounts supplied 'Angry Dog Hosting Company' are really well stocked and come at a low-cost price (starting from £4.17 for the Personel plan).

Private Virtual Hosting Servers

As your site grows more famous, more people will visit it simultaneously, thus creating bigger web server load. Shared web page hosting accounts impose given restrictions so that all the hosting accounts on the server have their quota of the system reserves. So, for more well known web pages, a private virtual web hosting server (VPS) would be a finer choice. A private virtual web server offers the best ratio between productiveness and cost. It imitates a dedicated web server and with 'Angry Dog Hosting Company' all Virtual Private Servers on offer offer complete server root access and a handful of OSs (CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian) and hosting Control Panel tools (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin) to choose from. Please pay keen attention to the Hepsia web space hosting Control Panel. In contrast with cPanel (which costs ten dollars per month atop the chosen virtual private web hosting server plan's price), Hepsia comes at no additional monthly cost (it's free with all virtual private web hosting server packages and runs with all Linux OSs: CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, while cPanel runs only with CentOS) and offers a stunning Domain Manager through which you can register, relocate, renew and handle top-level domain names (cPanel does not include such an interface at all)! The more trained clients can administer the VPS through an SSH client, but inexperienced clients can also manage it effortlessly via a Parallels Virtuozzo or OpenVZ virtualization platform, installing server-side software, restarting given services or the entire virtual private hosting server. Give attention to this circumstance: the major advantage of the virtual private web server accounts is that if the server load reaches the account's allotment, additional reserves can be allotted to this particular VPS server for a certain interval of time as long as they are available on the physical web server. On the whole, a virtual web server immensely surpasses the capacities of any shared web hosting account and the extra reserves offer an even more stable and dependable service. With 'Angry Dog Hosting Company', the prices for the virtual private web hosting server packages start at only £14.53 for the Base VPS package. All Virtual Private Server accounts are available in Chicago, London and Sydney, guaranteeing optimal performance for your sites.

Semi-dedicated Web Hosting Servers

To people with little to no practice, a virtual private hosting server may seem problematic to administer. That's probably why 'Angry Dog Hosting Company' also houses semi-dedicated web servers in its main American server farm facility in Chicago. Administering these packages is similar to managing a normal shared website hosting account through a hosting CP user interface. They have all the specs of a shared web page hosting account such as a free-of-charge website builder and a script installer, but the amount of system resources offered by a semi-dedicated server hosting package is many times bigger than that of a shared web page hosting package. For instance, the CPU power that can be used is almost FIVE times as much as compared to the shared webspace hosting accounts. When compared to a shared hosting account, the number of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is enormous: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted domain quota is a rule too. The semi-dedicated plans do not offer root access (we, at paulwhitehouse.co.uk, think of this as a tiny negative point), but the plus is that they are managed through the very same website hosting Control Panel interface as the shared web hosting accounts. This hints that a known graphical interface is available to all users who do not have enough confidence to handle a virtual web server, but at the same time are in need of more power and system resources than a VPS hosting server can bestow on them. This is so because the semi-dedicated servers share the system resources of the same powerful avant-garde hosting servers as the ones which accommodate the VPS hosting plans, however, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is very low (somewhere between twenty to 30 per server), while the VPS hosting servers can reach a much higher number (80 to one hundred and twenty per server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers supplied by 'Angry Dog Hosting Company' can be defined as being quite cheap (as far as price is concerned), starting from £43.17 for the Semi Dedicated 1 plan.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

In paulwhitehouse.co.uk's opinion, enormous web sites such as social networks, community and business portals or popular web storefronts with thousands of clients demand a much more powerful web hosting solution. It appears that the blokes from 'Angry Dog Hosting Company' have arrived at the same conclusion as well. To satisfy its clients' demands, 'Angry Dog Hosting Company' supplies a number of dedicated servers that can cope with millions of daily hits. That assessment is based on the hardware configurations the servers boast: many-core processors, up to 4 GB of RAM, 2000 gigabytes of web space and Gigabit network cards will beyond doubt guarantee the quick and stable work of any kind of website. According to 'Angry Dog Hosting Company', the original hardware specs can be upgraded for more resource-demanding web sites. We, from paulwhitehouse.co.uk, consider that all dedicated server configurations delivered by 'Angry Dog Hosting Company' are also suitable for commencing a hosting reseller business as every dedicated server includes free-of-cost billing software platform and a complimentary domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated servers delivered by 'Angry Dog Hosting Company' are all unmanaged. We, at paulwhitehouse.co.uk, count this as a small minus, which can be amended by paying a monthly tax which amounts to £23.03 GBP. So, if you require help, the Managed Services upgrade includes several extra services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. A bouquet of web space hosting Control Panel (CP) user interfaces are available with each of the servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (paulwhitehouse.co.uk's) forecast is that the excellent drag-and-drop File Manager available in the Hepsia web page hosting Control Panel will perhaps render the utilization of any File Transfer Protocol software pointless. Our (paulwhitehouse.co.uk's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers furnished by 'Angry Dog Hosting Company' don't appear to be very modestly priced (yet the Hepsia Control Panel and the unmetered hosted domain name quotas will no doubt make you smile), commencing from £89.76 for the Budget plan.
