A survey of J D Webcrafters

We, at kkachristmasprogram.kingskids-academy.com, have selected 'J D Webcrafters' to be our present domain and web hosting distributor. Hence we presume that this concise review of 'J D Webcrafters' is maybe going to be quite useful for other folks from all over the World who seek domain name and web hosting solutions. We say people from all around the Globe, since the simple truth is that 'J D Webcrafters' currently provides domain and hosting services in several datacenter locations: in the United States of America (Chicago, IL), in Great Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, encompassing practically the whole Earth. At least from the point of view of the Internet. So, here is what you could expect from 'J D Webcrafters' in a nutshell:

Shared Web Site Hosting Packages

The initial thing we, at kkachristmasprogram.kingskids-academy.com, have noted is the low-cost prices of the shared webspace hosting packages furnished by 'J D Webcrafters'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared web hosting. The good thing here is that the web page hosting plans supplied by 'J D Webcrafters' are powered by a custom invented, state-of-the-art cloud web hosting platform (each hosting service, such as mail, databases, webspace hosting CP, web space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being dealt with by a different stack of web hosting servers in a cluster). This is something ANY cPanel web hosting supplier on the Globe will have great difficulties with, since cPanel is a one single server based hosting platform (each web hosting service, like email, databases, web page hosting CP, disk storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being run on one single hosting server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel-based webspace hosting suppliers are not able to add extra functionality and manipulate it the way they need it) and there is no open source file platform (they have to design their own file system), which is the premise of any cloud web hosting service. Let's get back to the shared web page hosting packages, which are powered by a real cloud web page hosting solution. With a shared web space hosting package, each client pays solely for his/her plan, thus retaining the web site hosting price very low (since a lot of customers share the same hosting server). In a few words, a shared hosting plan, which runs on a clustered webspace hosting platform, allows you to pay just for the reserves that you actually demand, refraining from a scenario where you pay for a high-end web site hosting account that you cannot truly use, or for a tiny site hosting account that cannot accommodate your web page. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with only two clicks gives you the flexibility to begin with a basic plan and upgrade as your website grows. So, you economize funds that you can spend on publicizing the web site while it is still new. Each web page hosting package delivered by 'J D Webcrafters' ships with an online web site builder and more than 40 widely used script-driven platforms like WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you hundreds of dollars for web site design solutions. 'J D Webcrafters' furnishes shared web site hosting solutions in several different countries around the World. There is one datacenter facility in Chicago encompassing the USA and Canada; two European server farm facilities - in the United Kingdom and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia Pacific. In this way, nearly the entire planet is covered to supply you and your web site's visitors with a stable and fast web hosting service at a nearby location. Altogether, the shared hosting packages offered 'J D Webcrafters' are very well stocked and are available at a good price (starting from $5.25 for the Starter package).

Semi-dedicated Servers

To people with little or no practice, a virtual private hosting server may appear difficult to handle. That's probably why 'J D Webcrafters' also stores semi-dedicated hosting servers in its principal North American data center facility in Chicago. Managing these accounts is comparable to managing a typical shared website hosting plan through a webspace hosting CP interface. They have all the features of a shared package such as a fee-free web site builder and a PHP script installation tool, but the amount of system resources offered by a semi-dedicated server account is many times greater than that of a shared web hosting account. For example, the CPU power that can be utilized is almost FIVE times as much as compared with the shared web site hosting packages. When compared with a shared account, the number of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is huge: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted domain name quota is a rule as well. The semi-dedicated server hosting packages do not offer root-level access (we, at kkachristmasprogram.kingskids-academy.com, consider this a minor inconvenience), but the good point is that they are managed via the same site hosting CP tool as the shared web site hosting plans. This hints that a recognizable graphical user interface is available to all customers who do not have enough confidence to manage a private virtual server, but at the same time demand more power and reserves than a private virtual web hosting server can supply them with. This is like that because the semi-dedicated web servers share the system resources of the same powerful top-class hosting servers as the ones which host the virtual private web server accounts, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated web hosting servers is very small (somewhere between 20 to 30 per server), whereas the private virtual web servers can reach a much greater number (80 to one hundred and twenty per physical server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers provided by 'J D Webcrafters' can be branded as being very inexpensive (as far as cost is concerned), beginning from $20.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 plan.

Dedicated Web Servers

In kkachristmasprogram.kingskids-academy.com's opinion, enormous web sites such as social networks, community and corporate web portals or popular web stores with thousands of customers demand a much more powerful web site hosting solution. It seems that the chaps from 'J D Webcrafters' have drawn the same conclusion too. To meet its customers' demands, 'J D Webcrafters' provides a bouquet of dedicated hosting servers that can tackle millions of daily hits. That estimation stands on the hardware specifications the web hosting servers boast: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to 4 gigabytes of RAM, 2000 GB of storage space and Gigabit network cards will no doubt ensure the fast and steady performance of any type of web site. According to 'J D Webcrafters', the original hardware specs can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding websites. We, from kkachristmasprogram.kingskids-academy.com, believe that all dedicated server specifications delivered by 'J D Webcrafters' are also suitable for beginning a hosting reseller business as each server comes with free-of-cost billing software and a bonus domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated servers delivered by 'J D Webcrafters' are all unmanaged. We, at kkachristmasprogram.kingskids-academy.com, think that this is a minor downside, which can be righted by paying a monthly fee of $32.00 USD. So, if you are in need of help, the Managed Services upgrade offers various supplementary services such as a regular backup, software installation, dedicated server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. A handful of web site hosting CP (CP) interfaces are available with each of the web hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (kkachristmasprogram.kingskids-academy.com's) prognosis is that the splendid drag-and-drop File Manager available in the Hepsia web space hosting Control Panel will perhaps render the use of any FTP software useless. Our (kkachristmasprogram.kingskids-academy.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers delivered by 'J D Webcrafters' don't seem to be very inexpensive (yet the Hepsia web site hosting Control Panel and the unlimited hosted domain name allowance will no doubt make you smile), commencing from $60.00 for the Xeon E3 v3 package.
