A survey of CompilaUS

We, at goldwebdesign.co.uk, have chosen 'CompilaUS' to be our present domain and hosting provider. Hence we anticipate that this brief evaluation of 'CompilaUS' is probably going to be quite useful for other individuals from all around the Globe in search for domain name and web hosting services. We state people from all around the World, because the simple fact is that 'CompilaUS' currently distributes domain and hosting services in multiple datacenter facility sites: in America (Chicago, IL), in England (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). That way, covering nearly the entire planet. At least from the point of view of the World Wide Web. So, here is what you could expect from 'CompilaUS' in a few words:

Shared Hosting Packages

The first detail we, at goldwebdesign.co.uk, have noted is the inexpensive prices of the shared web page hosting packages supplied by 'CompilaUS'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared web hosting. The good news here is that the webspace hosting plans furnished by 'CompilaUS' are driven by a custom invented, innovative cloud web hosting solution (each web hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, web hosting Control Panel, disk space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being run on an autonomous stack of hosting servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting company on the Earth will have big troubles with, because cPanel is a one single server based site hosting platform (each web hosting service, like electronic mail, databases, web space hosting Control Panel, storage space, DNS, stats, and so on, is being run on one single hosting server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel-based site hosting firms are not able to add new functionality and handle it the way they want it) and there is no open source file platform (they must construct their own file system), which is the precondition of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared site hosting plans, which are powered by a real clustered web hosting solution. With a shared hosting account, each client pays solely for his/her account, thus preserving the web site hosting price really low (because multiple clients are located on the same hosting server). In a nutshell, a shared hosting account, which runs on a cloud web site hosting platform, enables you to pay only for the reserves that you really require, precluding a situation where you pay for an advanced web space hosting plan that you cannot truly utilize, or for a small web hosting account that cannot host your site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one plan to another with just 2 mouse clicks gives you the flexibility to kick off with a low-end plan and upgrade as your online presence expands. So, you economize capital that you can invest in promoting the web page while it is still new. Every web page hosting package provided by 'CompilaUS' offers an online site builder and over forty popular script-driven software applications among them WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you 100s of dollars for web page design solutions. 'CompilaUS' delivers shared webspace hosting accounts in several different geographical regions around the Globe. There is one datacenter in Chicago covering the United States and Canada; two European datacenters - in England and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia Pacific region. Hence, practically the whole World is encompassed to provide you and your website's visitors with a steady and reliable web page hosting service at a convenient place. Altogether, the shared hosting packages provided 'CompilaUS' are very well equipped and are available at an excellent price (beginning from $4.25 for the Starter plan).

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers

As your web site gets more popular, more visitors will open it at one and the same time, thereby creating higher hosting server load. Shared web hosting packages impose specific limits so that all the accounts on the hosting server have their quota of the system resources. Hence, for more visited websites, a VPS hosting server (VPS) would be a finer solution. A private virtual hosting server offers the ideal proportion between efficiency and cost. It mimics a dedicated web hosting server and with 'CompilaUS' all Virtual Private Servers that are being offered come with complete root access and a number of OSs (CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian) and webspace hosting Control Panel GUIs (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin) to pick from. Please pay precise heed to the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. Unlike cPanel (which costs ten dollars a month on top of the preferred private virtual hosting server package's price), Hepsia is available at no further monthly charge (it's free with all virtual private web server hosting plans and runs with all Linux OSs: CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, while cPanel runs only with CentOS) and offers a unique Domain Manager where you can register, migrate, renew and manipulate TLDs (cPanel does not have such a tool at all)! The more advanced clients can administer the VPS through an SSH console, but inexperienced users can also manage it easily via a Parallels Virtuozzo or OpenVZ virtualization platform, installing server-side software, rebooting specific services or the entire virtual web server. Give attention to this detail: the main benefit of the virtual private web hosting server packages is that if the server load reaches the account's allotment, additional resources can be allocated to this specific virtual private hosting server for a certain span of time if they are available on the physical hosting server. On the whole, a private virtual server greatly surpasses the capacities of any shared web page hosting account and the additional reserves provide an even more stable and reliable service. With 'CompilaUS', the prices for the virtual private web server hosting packages start at just $20.00 for the Base VPS package. All private virtual server packages are available in Chicago, London and Sydney, providing optimum performance for your websites.

Semi-dedicated Hosting Servers

To clients with little or no experience, a virtual private web server may seem troublesome to administer. That's perhaps why 'CompilaUS' also keeps semi-dedicated hosting servers in its main North American datacenter in Chicago. Managing these accounts is comparable to handling a standard shared hosting package via a web page hosting Control Panel user interface. They have all the functionalities of a shared account such as a fee-free site builder and a web application installation tool, but the amount of system resources typical of a semi-dedicated web hosting server account is many times larger than that of a shared web hosting plan. For instance, the central processing unit power that can be utilized is approximately FIVE times as much as compared to the shared accounts. When contrasted with a shared web space hosting account, the number of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is big: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted top-level domain name quota is a trend too. The semi-dedicated web hosting server packages do not include full server root access (we, at goldwebdesign.co.uk, regard this as a little problem), but the advantage is that they are administered via the very same web hosting CP interface as the shared web hosting accounts. This suggests that a well-known GUI is available to all customers who do not feel self-confident enough to handle a VPS server, but at the same time are in need of more power and reserves than a private virtual hosting server can provide them with. This is so because the semi-dedicated web servers share the resources of the same powerful hyper-advanced hosting servers as the ones which host the virtual private hosting server packages, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated servers is quite small (somewhere between 20 to thirty per physical server), while the private virtual web servers can reach a much greater number (eighty to one hundred and twenty per server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers furnished by 'CompilaUS' can be classified as being very inexpensive (as far as cost is concerned), starting from $60.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 package.

Dedicated Servers

According to goldwebdesign.co.uk, big web sites such as social networks, community and business portals or famous online storefronts with thousands of customers request a much more powerful web page hosting solution. It seems that the guys from 'CompilaUS' have arrived at the same conclusion too. To answer its clients' demands, 'CompilaUS' offers a number of dedicated web servers that can tackle millions of daily visits. That estimate stands on the hardware specifications the dedicated hosting servers ship with: many-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, two thousand GB of disk space and Gigabit network interface cards will definitely guarantee the fast and stable performance of any kind of web site. According to 'CompilaUS', the original hardware specifications can be upgraded for more system resource-requiring sites. We, from goldwebdesign.co.uk, think that all dedicated server specifications delivered by 'CompilaUS' are also suitable for commencing a hosting reseller business as every hosting server provides free invoice transaction software and a fee-free domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated hosting servers offered by 'CompilaUS' are all unmanaged. We, at goldwebdesign.co.uk, think that this is a small drawback, which can be righted by paying a monthly fee which amounts to $32.00 USD. So, if you require backing, the Managed Services upgrade offers a selection of extra services such as a regular backup, software installation, dedicated server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. Several site hosting Control Panel (CP) user interfaces are available with each of the web hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (goldwebdesign.co.uk's) prediction is that the outstanding drag-and-drop File Manager added in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel will possibly make the recourse to any File Transfer Protocol software program futile. Our (goldwebdesign.co.uk's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers furnished by 'CompilaUS' don't appear to be very inexpensive (still the Hepsia website hosting CP and the unlimited hosted domain name quotas will undoubtedly make you smile), starting from $125.00 for the Budget plan.
