A review of T-HORIZON

We, at dgdeligrill.com, have chosen 'T-HORIZON' to be our current domain and web hosting provider. This is why we think that this short evaluation of 'T-HORIZON' is perhaps going to be quite useful for other folks from all around the Globe who are looking for domain name and web hosting services. We state people from all around the World, since the mere truth is that 'T-HORIZON' currently offers domain and hosting services in several data center locations: in the US (Chicago, IL), in England (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). That way, encompassing practically the entire Earth. At least from the point of view of the Internet. So, here is what you could expect from 'T-HORIZON' in brief:

Shared Website Hosting Services

The initial detail we, at dgdeligrill.com, have noted is the affordable prices of the shared hosting plans delivered by 'T-HORIZON'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared hosting. The good thing here is that the web hosting plans offered by 'T-HORIZON' are powered by an in-house created, modern cloud web hosting platform (each hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, web hosting Control Panel, disk storage, DNS, statistics, etc., runs on an autonomous pack of servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance EVERY cPanel web hosting vendor on the Earth will have great difficulties with, because cPanel is a one single server based website hosting environment (each web hosting service, such as email, databases, Control Panel, storage space, DNS, stats, and so on, is being served by a single hosting server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel-based web site hosting companies are unable to add additional functionality and handle it the way they want it) and there is no open source file system (they need to build their own file system), which is the precondition of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared web page hosting accounts, which are driven by an authentic clustered hosting system. With a shared hosting account, each customer pays solely for his/her package, thus retaining the web hosting price very low (because numerous customers use the same web server). To cut a long story short, a shared hosting account, which runs on a clustered hosting platform, allows you to pay solely for the resources that you actually need, precluding a situation where you pay for a feature-rich site hosting plan that you cannot actually use, or for a low-end web hosting package that cannot handle your web site. The ability to upgrade your account from one package to another with just two mouse clicks gives you the flexibility to start with a small package and upgrade as your web presence grows. That way, you economize capital that you can spend on promoting the site while it is still brand new. Each web site hosting package offered by 'T-HORIZON' offers an online website builder and more than forty widely used script software platforms such as WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you hundreds of dollars for website design solutions. 'T-HORIZON' distributes shared web site hosting packages in a number of different countries across the World. There is one datacenter facility in Chicago encompassing the United States of America and Canada; two European datacenter facilities - in England and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia Pacific. Hence, nearly the entire World is covered to provide you and your web site's visitors with a stable and fast web hosting solution at a nearby location. On the whole, the shared hosting solutions offered 'T-HORIZON' are very well appointed and come at a very cheap price (beginning from $3.42 for the Standard plan).

Semi-dedicated Hosting Servers

To customers with little or no practice, a virtual private web hosting server may appear hard to administer. That's perhaps why 'T-HORIZON' also keeps semi-dedicated servers in its principal United States datacenter in Chicago. Administering these packages is similar to handling a standard shared web space hosting plan through a web space hosting Control Panel user interface. They have all the specs of a shared web page hosting account such as a free website builder and a web application installation tool, but the amount of system resources provided by a semi-dedicated account is many times greater than that of a shared web site hosting package. For instance, the central processing unit power that can be used is approximately 5 times as much as compared to the shared website hosting packages. When matched against a shared web hosting account, the number of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting accounts is immense: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted TLD quota is a pattern as well. The semi-dedicated hosting server accounts do not come with complete server root access (we, at dgdeligrill.com, count this as a little drawback), but the advantage is that they are managed through the same web space hosting Control Panel tool as the shared webspace hosting accounts. This signifies that a familiar graphical interface is accessible by all clients who are not confident enough to handle a virtual server, yet require more power and system resources than a private virtual web hosting server can supply them with. This is so owing to the fact that the semi-dedicated servers share the resources of the same powerful high-end servers as the ones which accommodate the VPS web server packages, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated hosting servers is very small (somewhere between twenty to 30 per physical machine), while the VPS hosting servers can reach a much greater number (80 to a hundred and twenty per server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers supplied by 'T-HORIZON' can be classified as being amazingly inexpensive (as far as cost is concerned), beginning from $19.00 for the Galaxy package.

Dedicated Web Servers

According to dgdeligrill.com, large websites such as social networks, community and business web portals or popular online storefronts with 1000s of customers need a much more powerful website hosting environment. It appears that the chaps from 'T-HORIZON' have come to the same conclusion too. To answer its users' requirements, 'T-HORIZON' offers an array of dedicated web servers that can tackle millions of daily visits. That estimate is based on the hardware specifications the dedicated servers are offering: multi-core processors, up to 4 gigabytes of RAM, 2000 GB of storage space and Gigabit network cards will doubtlessly ensure the quick and steady performance of any sort of site. According to 'T-HORIZON', the primary hardware specs can be upgraded for more resource-requiring websites. We, from dgdeligrill.com, deem that all dedicated server specifications offered by 'T-HORIZON' are also appropriate for starting a hosting reseller business as each dedicated web hosting server includes free-of-cost invoicing transaction software and a free-of-cost domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated web hosting servers supplied by 'T-HORIZON' are all unmanaged. We, at dgdeligrill.com, consider this a minor negative point, which can be corrected by paying a monthly tax which amounts to $32.00 USD. So, if you are in need of help, the Managed Services upgrade includes several extra services such as a routine backup, software installation, hosting server surveillance and troubleshooting procedures. An array of web space hosting CP (CP) tools are offered with each of the servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (dgdeligrill.com's) forecast is that the great drag-and-drop File Manager offered by the Hepsia web site hosting Control Panel will possibly make the utilization of any File Transfer Protocol client useless. Our (dgdeligrill.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers delivered by 'T-HORIZON' don't appear to be very affordably priced (yet the Hepsia web space hosting Control Panel and the unlimited hosted domain name allowance will beyond doubt make you smile), starting from $115.00 for the Xeon Scalable 6c package.
