A survey of ITDA Group

We, at itdagroup.net, have chosen 'ITDA Group' to be our current domain and web hosting vendor. Therefore we anticipate that this concise assessment of 'ITDA Group' is maybe going to be very useful for other people from all around the World who are searching for domain name and web hosting services. We state people from all over the World, because the mere fact is that 'ITDA Group' presently supplies domain and hosting services in numerous server farm locations: in the US (Chicago, IL), in the UK (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, embracing nearly the whole World. At least from the point of view of the World Wide Web. So, here is what you could expect from 'ITDA Group' in brief:

Shared Hosting Services

The first detail we, at itdagroup.net, have perceived is the reasonable prices of the shared web site hosting solutions delivered by 'ITDA Group'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared web hosting. The good thing here is that the web site hosting accounts furnished by 'ITDA Group' are driven by an in-house developed, modern cloud web hosting solution (each web hosting service, like electronic mail, databases, web page hosting Control Panel, storage space, DNS, stats, and so on, is being dealt with by an individual group of web servers in a cluster). This is something ANY cPanel web hosting supplier on the Globe will have immense difficulties with, because cPanel is a one single server based web hosting platform (each hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, web hosting Control Panel, disk storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being run on a single web hosting server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel hosting suppliers are not able to include new functionality and handle it the way they want it) and there is no open source file platform (they must concoct their own file platform), which is the precondition of any cloud web hosting service. Let's get back to the shared web page hosting plans, which are powered by an authentic clustered website hosting system. With a shared web hosting plan, each client pays just for his/her plan, thus preserving the web space hosting price amazingly low (because multiple clients use one and the same web server). In a few words, a shared hosting plan, which runs on a cloud site hosting system, permits you to pay only for the resources that you really require, evading a situation where you pay for a powerful webspace hosting package that you cannot truly utilize, or for a low-end hosting account that cannot host your website. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with only two mouse clicks grants you the flexibility to begin with a tiny package and upgrade as your web site expands. In this way, you spare money that you can invest in publicizing the site while it is still brand new. Each and every web space hosting plan furnished by 'ITDA Group' sports an online site building tool and more than forty popular script-driven platforms like WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you 100s of dollars for site design solutions. 'ITDA Group' furnishes shared web space hosting accounts in several different regions across the World. There is one server farm in Chicago encompassing the United States of America and Canada; two European datacenter facilities - in the United Kingdom and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia-Pacific region. That way, practically the entire planet is covered to supply you and your visitors with a stable and fast hosting service at a preferred place. As a whole, the shared hosting plans furnished 'ITDA Group' are quite well equipped and are available at a very inexpensive price (starting from $4.58 for the Starter plan).

Virtual Web Hosting Servers

As your web site becomes more well known, more individuals will drop in on it at the same time, thereby generating greater server load. Shared web space hosting packages set certain limitations so that all the hosting customers on the hosting server have their cut of the system resources. So, for more visited web sites, a virtual private hosting server (VPS) would be a finer selection. A VPS offers the best balance between productiveness and cost. It imitates a dedicated server and with 'ITDA Group' all Virtual Private Servers that are available arrive with complete server root access and a bouquet of OSs (CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian) and web site hosting CP interfaces (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin) to pick from. Please pay special attention to the Hepsia website hosting CP. In contrast to cPanel (which costs ten dollars a month on top of the chosen private virtual server web hosting plan's price), Hepsia is provided at no further monthly cost (it's free with all virtual server accounts and is compatible with all Linux OSs: CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, while cPanel functions exclusively with CentOS) and boasts marvelous Domain Manager via which you can register, relocate, renew and manage top-level domain names (cPanel does not have such a user interface at all)! The more skillful clients can administer the VPS through an SSH client program, but inexperienced customers can also administer it easily through a Parallels Virtuozzo or OpenVZ virtualization interface, installing server-side software applications, rebooting particular services or the whole virtual private web server. Pay heed to this fact: the main advantage of the virtual server hosting accounts is that if the web server load surpasses the account's allotment, extra resources can be allotted to this particular private virtual web hosting server for a given spell of time if they are present on the physical hosting server. As a whole, a virtual hosting server enormously exceeds the capacities of any shared web site hosting package and the additional reserves vouch for an even more stable and dependable service. With 'ITDA Group', the prices for the VPS hosting server packages start at only $20.00 for the Base VPS plan. All private virtual server web hosting packages are available in Chicago, London and Sydney, providing optimum performance for your websites.

Semi-dedicated Web Hosting Servers

To people with little or no practice, a VPS server may seem difficult to administer. That's perhaps why 'ITDA Group' also stores semi-dedicated servers in its main American data center facility in Chicago. Managing these accounts is comparable to managing a regular shared web hosting package through a web space hosting Control Panel interface. They have all the functionalities of a shared website hosting package such as a free site builder and a web application installation tool, but the amount of system resources typical of a semi-dedicated web server hosting plan is many times greater than that of a shared web hosting package. For instance, the CPU power that can be utilized is nearly 5 times as much as compared with the shared web space hosting plans. When compared to a shared hosting package, the quota of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is enormous: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted Top-Level Domain quota is a rule too. The semi-dedicated web server hosting plans do not offer full server root privileges (we, at itdagroup.net, consider this a little weak point), but the plus is that they are managed via the very same webspace hosting Control Panel tool as the shared web hosting plans. This goes to say that a well-known graphical interface is offered to all customers who do not feel confident enough to manage a VPS web server, yet require more power and reserves than a VPS hosting server can offer. This is so owing to the fact that the semi-dedicated hosting servers share the resources of the same powerful hyper-advanced web hosting servers as the ones which host the Virtual Private Server packages, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated web hosting servers is very low (somewhere between twenty to 30 per physical server), while the virtual private hosting servers can reach a much higher number (eighty to a hundred and twenty per physical server). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers provided by 'ITDA Group' can be dubbed as being amazingly affordable (as far as price is concerned), commencing from $30.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 plan.

Dedicated Web Servers

According to itdagroup.net, huge websites such as social networks, community and corporate portals or popular online storefronts with thousands of customers demand a much more powerful web hosting environment. It appears that the blokes from 'ITDA Group' have come to the same conclusion as well. To meet its users' expectations, 'ITDA Group' provides a selection of dedicated web hosting servers that can cope with millions of daily visits. That estimate is based on the hardware configurations the web servers include: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to 4 gigabytes of RAM, two thousand gigabytes of data storage and Gigabit network cards will no doubt ensure the quick and stable performance of any kind of web site. In 'ITDA Group's opinion, the original hardware specs can be upgraded for more resource-requiring websites. We, from itdagroup.net, believe that all dedicated server specs delivered by 'ITDA Group' are also appropriate for launching a hosting reseller business as every server provides free-of-charge invoice transaction software platform and a free-of-charge domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated hosting servers delivered by 'ITDA Group' are all unmanaged. We, at itdagroup.net, consider this a small defect, which can be righted by paying a monthly tax which amounts to $32.00 USD. So, if you demand aid, the Managed Services upgrade provides several supplementary services such as a regular backup, software installation, server surveillance and troubleshooting operations. A bouquet of website hosting Control Panel (CP) user interfaces are offered with each of the dedicated web hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (itdagroup.net's) prognosis is that the magnificent drag and drop File Manager offered by the Hepsia website hosting CP will perhaps render the use of any File Transfer Protocol software useless. Our (itdagroup.net's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers delivered by 'ITDA Group' don't appear to be very inexpensive (yet the Hepsia site hosting Control Panel and the unmetered hosted domain allowance will doubtlessly make you smile), beginning from $125.00 for the Budget package.
