A survey of DHS

We, at petdelico.com, have chosen 'DHS' to be our current domain name and hosting distributor. This is why we deem that this concise assessment of 'DHS' is probably going to be very helpful for other people from all over the World in search for domain name and web hosting services. We say folks from all over the World, because the mere truth is that 'DHS' currently distributes domain and hosting services in several server farm facility locations: in the United States of America (Chicago, IL), in Great Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). That way, embracing practically the entire Earth. At least as far as the World Wide Web is concerned. So, here is what you could expect from 'DHS' in a few words:

Shared Site Hosting Accounts

The initial detail we, at petdelico.com, have discerned is the reasonable prices of the shared hosting solutions supplied by 'DHS'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared hosting. The good thing here is that the hosting packages offered by 'DHS' are powered by a custom built, advanced cloud web hosting solution (each hosting service, such as email, databases, web space hosting Control Panel, disk storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, runs on an independent set of web servers in a cluster). This is something ANY cPanel web hosting firm in the World will have considerable difficulties with, since cPanel is a one single server based web hosting platform (each hosting service, like email, databases, webspace hosting Control Panel, disk storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being handled by one single web hosting server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel-based web hosting suppliers are unable to include additional functionality and handle it the way they want it) and there is no open source file platform (they must invent their own file platform), which is the premise of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared webspace hosting plans, which are powered by an actual clustered web hosting system. With a shared webspace hosting account, each client pays only for his/her package, thus keeping the webspace hosting price amazingly low (because plenty of users share the same web hosting server). To cut a long story short, a shared hosting plan, which is being served by a clustered web space hosting system, enables you to pay just for the reserves that you actually require, refraining from a situation where you pay for a high-end web space hosting plan that you cannot actually utilize, or for a basic web hosting package that cannot accommodate your web site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with just 2 clicks of the mouse grants you the flexibility to commence with a tiny package and upgrade as your website grows. In this way, you economize money that you can spend on promoting the website while it is still new. Each and every web space hosting account furnished by 'DHS' boasts an online site builder and over 40 popular script software platforms such as WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you hundreds of dollars for website design solutions. 'DHS' supplies shared web site hosting solutions in a number of different regions across the Globe. There is one server farm in Chicago encompassing the United States and Canada; two European server farm facilities - in the United Kingdom and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia-Pacific. Thus, approximately the entire Earth is covered to supply you and your website's visitors with a stable and fast site hosting service at a preferred location. As a whole, the shared hosting packages furnished 'DHS' are very well equipped and are available at a low-cost price (starting from $4.83 for the Starter package).

Semi-dedicated Web Servers

To customers with little or no practice, a private virtual server may seem tough to administer. That's probably why 'DHS' also keeps semi-dedicated hosting servers in its main United States data center in Chicago. Handling these plans is similar to administering a regular shared web site hosting account through a hosting Control Panel tool. They have all the functionalities of a shared site hosting package such as a free web site building tool and a web application installation tool, but the system resource quota typical of a semi-dedicated web server account is many times larger than that of a shared web site hosting account. For example, the central processing unit power that can be used is approximately 5 times as much as compared to the shared webspace hosting packages. When matched against a shared site hosting account, the quota of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting accounts is huge: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted TLD allowance is a principle as well. The semi-dedicated server accounts do not ship with server root access (we, at petdelico.com, deem this a small minus), but the benefit is that they are administered through the very same site hosting CP tool as the shared web site hosting accounts. This hints that a user-friendly graphical user interface is accessible by all clients who are not self-confident enough to administer a VPS web hosting server, but at the same time require more power and resources than a virtual server can furnish them with. This is like that because the semi-dedicated hosting servers share the resources of the same powerful avant-garde hosting servers as the ones which accommodate the VPS server packages, however, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is very low (somewhere between 20 to thirty per physical server), while the VPS servers can reach a much bigger number (eighty to one hundred and twenty per physical server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers delivered by 'DHS' can be classified as being amazingly inexpensive (as far as price is concerned), starting from $20.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 plan.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

In petdelico.com's opinion, enormous sites such as social networks, community and corporate portals or popular online shops with thousands of clients request a much more powerful web site hosting solution. It seems that the guys from 'DHS' have reached the same conclusion too. To meet its users' anticipations, 'DHS' delivers a collection of dedicated servers that can tackle millions of daily hits. That estimate is based on the hardware configurations the web servers arrive with: many-core processors, up to 4 GB of RAM, 2000 GB of disk space and Gigabit NICs will no doubt ensure the quick and stable performance of any sort of web site. According to 'DHS', the original hardware configurations can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding websites. We, from petdelico.com, think that all dedicated server solutions furnished by 'DHS' are also suitable for setting up a hosting reseller business as each and every dedicated web server comes with free-of-charge invoicing transaction software and a complimentary domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated servers furnished by 'DHS' are all unmanaged. We, at petdelico.com, regard this as a minor weakness, which can be adjusted by paying a monthly fee which amounts to $32.00 USD. So, if you are in need of assistance, the Managed Services upgrade includes a bunch of additional services such as a regular backup, software installation, server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. Several hosting Control Panel (CP) tools are available with each of the servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (petdelico.com's) prediction is that the magnificent drag and drop File Manager added in the Hepsia web site hosting CP will probably make the recourse to any File Transfer Protocol client pointless. Our (petdelico.com's) inference is that the dedicated servers delivered by 'DHS' don't appear to be very modestly priced (still the Hepsia web page hosting Control Panel and the unmetered hosted domain name quotas will definitely make you smile), starting from $80.00 for the Xeon E3 v5 package.
