A review of Host Big Daddy

We, at saeklefkadas.gr, have chosen 'Host Big Daddy' to be our present domain and hosting provider. This is why we presume that this short evaluation of 'Host Big Daddy' is probably going to be very useful for other individuals from all around the World in need of domain name and web hosting services. We say individuals from all over the Globe, because the mere truth is that 'Host Big Daddy' currently delivers domain and hosting services in multiple data center sites: in the US (Chicago, IL), in Great Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, covering approximately the whole World. At least from the point of view of the Internet. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Host Big Daddy' in a few words:

Shared Web Space Hosting Accounts

The initial thing we, at saeklefkadas.gr, have noticed is the low-cost prices of the shared web page hosting services provided by 'Host Big Daddy'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared web hosting. The good thing here is that the webspace hosting plans supplied by 'Host Big Daddy' are driven by a custom developed, innovative cloud web hosting solution (each web hosting service, such as email, databases, site hosting CP, data storage, DNS, stats, etc., is being handled by a separate group of servers in a cluster). This is something ANY cPanel web hosting provider on the Globe will have considerable difficulties with, because cPanel is a one-server based web hosting environment (each hosting service, like email, databases, website hosting CP, disk storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being served by a single web hosting server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel-based web page hosting providers are not able to include extra functionality and handle it the way they need it) and there is no open source file system (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 space hosting accounts, which are powered by a genuine cloud web hosting system. With a shared web space hosting plan, each customer pays just for his/her plan, thus retaining the web hosting price very low (because lots of users use the same hosting server). In a nutshell, a shared hosting account, which runs on a clustered web site hosting system, enables you to pay solely for the resources that you really require, precluding a situation where you pay for a high-end web site hosting package that you cannot really use, or for a basic web page hosting package that cannot handle your website. The possibility to upgrade your account from one plan to another with just 2 clicks grants you the flexibility to commence with a tiny package and upgrade as your web page expands. Thus, you save capital that you can spend on advertising the web page while it is still brand new. Each web page hosting package furnished by 'Host Big Daddy' sports an online website builder and over 40 popular script-driven platforms such as WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you 100s of dollars for website design solutions. 'Host Big Daddy' distributes shared site hosting plans in several different regions across the Globe. There is one datacenter in Chicago encompassing the United States and Canada; two European server farm facilities - in the United Kingdom and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia Pacific. That way, virtually the entire Globe is encompassed to present you and your visitors with a steady and reliable webspace hosting solution at a preferred location. Altogether, the shared hosting plans supplied 'Host Big Daddy' are very well equipped and come at a very cheap price (beginning from $7.17 for the Business package).

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

In saeklefkadas.gr's opinion, big web pages such as social networks, community and business web portals or popular online storefronts with 1000s of customers request a much more powerful web hosting environment. It appears that the chaps from 'Host Big Daddy' have drawn the same conclusion as well. To fulfil its users' anticipations, 'Host Big Daddy' offers a collection of dedicated servers that can cope with millions of daily hits. That evaluation rests on the hardware specifications the web hosting servers arrive with: multi-core processors, up to 4 gigabytes of RAM, two thousand gigabytes of disk space and Gigabit NICs will beyond doubt guarantee the fast and stable performance of any kind of web site. According to 'Host Big Daddy', the primary hardware specs can be upgraded for more resource-requiring web sites. We, from saeklefkadas.gr, believe that all dedicated server accounts delivered by 'Host Big Daddy' are also suitable for beginning a hosting reseller business as each and every web hosting server provides free-of-cost invoicing software platform and a charge-free domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated web hosting servers provided by 'Host Big Daddy' are all unmanaged. We, at saeklefkadas.gr, deem this a little weakness, which can be righted by paying a monthly fee of $32.00 USD. So, if you need backing, the Managed Services upgrade offers a number of extra services such as a routine backup, software installation, web server monitoring and troubleshooting operations. An array of web page hosting Control Panel (CP) tools are available with each of the dedicated servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (saeklefkadas.gr's) prediction is that the outstanding point and click File Manager included in the Hepsia CP will perhaps render the utilization of any FTP software pointless. Our (saeklefkadas.gr's) inference is that the dedicated servers supplied by 'Host Big Daddy' don't seem to be very cheap (yet the Hepsia CP and the unmetered hosted domain name allowance will doubtlessly make you smile), commencing from $145.00 for the Xeon Scalable 8c plan.
