A survey of CloudNEO

We, at 3dbay.eu, have chosen 'CloudNEO' to be our present domain name and hosting distributor. Hence we deem that this brief evaluation of 'CloudNEO' is perhaps going to be very helpful for other individuals from all around the Globe who seek domain name and web hosting services. We say people from all over the World, since the mere fact is that 'CloudNEO' presently supplies domain and hosting services in multiple server farm sites: in America (Chicago, IL), in the UK (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). That way, embracing approximately the whole Earth. At least from the point of view of the World Wide Web. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'CloudNEO' in a nutshell:

Shared Webspace Hosting Accounts

The initial detail we, at 3dbay.eu, have spotted is the cheap prices of the shared website hosting solutions delivered by 'CloudNEO'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared hosting. The good thing here is that the website hosting accounts supplied by 'CloudNEO' are powered by a custom devised, avant-garde cloud web hosting solution (each hosting service, like email, databases, site hosting CP, storage space, DNS, stats, etc., is being served by an independent host of servers in a cluster). This is something ANY cPanel web hosting company in the World will have immense troubles with, because cPanel is a single server based website hosting platform (each web hosting service, like electronic mail, databases, web hosting Control Panel, web space, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being dealt with by one single web server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel-based web space hosting providers are unable to include additional functionality and handle it the way they want it) and there is no open source file platform (they must make their own file system), which is the premise of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared webspace hosting accounts, which are powered by a genuine clustered web space hosting platform. With a shared webspace hosting package, each customer pays only for his/her plan, thus retaining the web site hosting price amazingly low (because many clients use the same hosting server). To cut a long story short, a shared hosting package, which is being served by a clustered web hosting system, allows you to pay just for the resources that you really require, evading a situation where you pay for a feature-rich web space hosting plan that you cannot truly utilize, or for a low-end website hosting package that cannot accommodate your web site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with only 2 clicks of the mouse gives you the flexibility to commence with a basic package and upgrade as your web page expands. That way, you save money that you can expend on advertising the web site while it is still brand new. Each site hosting account provided by 'CloudNEO' arrives with an online site builder and more than 40 popular script platforms such as WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you hundreds of dollars for web design services. 'CloudNEO' supplies shared webspace hosting packages in several different geographical regions around the Globe. There is one server farm facility in Chicago covering the United States of America and Canada; 2 European datacenters - in the United Kingdom and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia Pacific region. That way, virtually the whole Earth is covered to supply you and your web site's visitors with a steady and reliable hosting service at a desired location. All in all, the shared hosting accounts delivered 'CloudNEO' are very well appointed and come at a very cheap price (beginning from €5.02 for the Beginner plan).

Dedicated Hosting Servers

According to 3dbay.eu, huge websites such as social networks, community and business portals or popular web storefronts with thousands of customers demand a much more powerful website hosting platform. It appears that the blokes from 'CloudNEO' have reached the same conclusion too. To satisfy its users' expectations, 'CloudNEO' offers a number of dedicated web servers that can manage millions of daily hits. That estimate rests on the hardware configurations the web hosting servers boast: many-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, 2000 GB of web space and Gigabit network cards will undoubtedly guarantee the fast and steady performance of any kind of web site. According to 'CloudNEO', the primary hardware specifications can be upgraded for more resource-requiring sites. We, from 3dbay.eu, deem that all dedicated server specifications furnished by 'CloudNEO' are also appropriate for initiating a hosting reseller business as each web hosting server ships with free billing software and a charge-free domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated web hosting servers supplied by 'CloudNEO' are all unmanaged. We, at 3dbay.eu, consider this a small minus, which can be rectified by paying a monthly tax of €32.44 EUR. So, if you require support, the Managed Services upgrade includes a bunch of additional services such as a regular backup, software installation, web hosting server surveillance and troubleshooting operations. A bouquet of hosting CP (CP) interfaces are available with each of the servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (3dbay.eu's) prognosis is that the excellent drag-and-drop File Manager included in the Hepsia web site hosting Control Panel will perhaps make the use of any File Transfer Protocol client useless. Our (3dbay.eu's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers delivered by 'CloudNEO' don't seem to be very cheap (yet the Hepsia hosting CP and the unlimited hosted domain allowance will no doubt make you smile), beginning from €142.25 for the Xeon Scalable 8c package.
