An assessment of SuperLinx.NET

We, at kccotton.com, have selected 'SuperLinx.NET' to be our current domain name and hosting distributor. Therefore we believe that this succinct review of 'SuperLinx.NET' is maybe going to be very useful for other people from all around the World in need of domain name and web hosting services. We say people from all over the World, since the simple fact is that 'SuperLinx.NET' presently provides domain and hosting services in several data center facility locations: in the USA (Chicago, IL), in the UK (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, encompassing almost the whole Earth. At least from the point of view of the World Wide Web. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'SuperLinx.NET' in a nutshell:

Shared Web Page Hosting Solutions

The initial detail we, at kccotton.com, have detected is the cheap prices of the shared hosting accounts furnished by 'SuperLinx.NET'. 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 plans provided by 'SuperLinx.NET' are driven by an in-house invented, leading edge cloud web hosting solution (each hosting service, like electronic mail, databases, hosting Control Panel, disk space, DNS, stats, and so on, runs on an individual stack of web servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting provider in the World will have considerable difficulties with, because cPanel is a single server based hosting environment (each web hosting service, such as email, databases, web hosting Control Panel, web space, DNS, stats, etc., runs on one single hosting server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel-based web site hosting firms are unable to include new functionality and manipulate it the way they want it) and there is no open source file platform (they have to build their own file platform), which is the precondition of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared hosting plans, which are driven by a real cloud web hosting system. With a shared web site hosting plan, each client pays only for his/her account, thus retaining the web hosting price really low (since many users share one and the same hosting server). In brief, a shared hosting account, which is being served by a clustered web site hosting platform, permits you to pay just for the reserves that you indeed demand, refraining from a situation where you pay for an advanced web site hosting package that you cannot truly utilize, or for a tiny web space hosting package that cannot accommodate your site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with only 2 clicks grants you the flexibility to begin with a low-end plan and upgrade as your web presence expands. In this way, you economize money that you can spend on publicizing the web page while it is still brand new. Every hosting plan offered by 'SuperLinx.NET' boasts an online website builder and over 40 widely used script-driven software platforms like WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you 100s of dollars for website design services. 'SuperLinx.NET' furnishes shared web space hosting plans in several different countries across the World. There is one data center in Chicago encompassing the US and Canada; 2 European datacenter facilities - in Britain and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia Pacific region. Hence, approximately the whole planet is encompassed to supply you and your website's visitors with a stable and reliable hosting service at a nearby location. All in all, the shared hosting packages furnished 'SuperLinx.NET' are really well appointed and are available at a very reasonable price (starting from $3.08 for the Starter package).

Semi-dedicated Servers

To users with little to no experience, a private virtual web hosting server may seem troublesome to handle. That's probably why 'SuperLinx.NET' also offers semi-dedicated web hosting servers in its principal North American server farm in Chicago. Administering these accounts is comparable to administering a normal shared hosting account through a web hosting CP interface. They have all the specs of a shared webspace hosting account such as a fee-free website builder and a script installer, but the amount of system resources typical of a semi-dedicated server web hosting plan is many times greater than that of a shared account. For instance, the central processing unit power that can be used is almost FIVE times as much as compared with the shared web site hosting packages. When compared with a shared web page hosting plan, the quota of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting accounts is enormous: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted domain name quota is a norm as well. The semi-dedicated hosting plans do not offer root privileges (we, at kccotton.com, think that this is a little inconvenience), but the good point is that they are administered through the very same CP interface as the shared web space hosting plans. This signifies that a familiar graphical interface is offered to all clients who do not feel confident enough to manage a virtual web hosting server, yet demand more power and resources than a virtual web server can deliver. This is like that due to the fact that the semi-dedicated hosting servers share the system resources of the same powerful first-rate web hosting servers as the ones which accommodate the virtual hosting server plans, however, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is quite low (somewhere between 20 to thirty per physical machine), while the Virtual Private Servers can reach a much higher number (80 to a hundred and twenty per physical server). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers offered by 'SuperLinx.NET' can be defined as being amazingly cheap (as far as price is concerned), commencing from $17.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 package.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

In kccotton.com's opinion, enormous sites such as social networks, community and corporate portals or popular online shops with 1000s of customers call for a much more powerful webspace hosting solution. It appears that the blokes from 'SuperLinx.NET' have drawn the same conclusion as well. To live up to its clients' expectations, 'SuperLinx.NET' delivers an array of dedicated hosting servers that can manage millions of daily visits. That assessment rests on the hardware configurations the dedicated web servers boast: many-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, 2000 gigabytes of web space and Gigabit NICs will no doubt guarantee the fast and stable work of any kind of website. In 'SuperLinx.NET's opinion, the primary hardware configurations can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding websites. We, from kccotton.com, believe that all dedicated server plans provided by 'SuperLinx.NET' are also appropriate for initiating a hosting reseller business as each dedicated web server offers free-of-charge billing transaction software and a free domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated hosting servers furnished by 'SuperLinx.NET' are all unmanaged. We, at kccotton.com, deem this a little disadvantage, which can be corrected by paying a monthly tax of $33.00 USD. So, if you need help, the Managed Services upgrade provides several supplementary services such as a routine backup, software installation, server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. An array of hosting CP (CP) interfaces are offered with each of the servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (kccotton.com's) prediction is that the excellent point and click File Manager included in the Hepsia website hosting CP will probably render the recourse to any FTP client useless. Our (kccotton.com's) inference is that the dedicated servers offered by 'SuperLinx.NET' don't seem to be very cheap (still the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and the unlimited hosted domain allowance will beyond doubt make you smile), starting from $64.00 for the Xeon E3 v3 package.
