A survey of pinkymonkey

We, at mycloudcards.com, have picked 'pinkymonkey' to be our present domain and hosting provider. Hence we expect that this succinct evaluation of 'pinkymonkey' is perhaps going to be very helpful for other individuals from all over the World who are looking for domain name and web hosting solutions. We state individuals from all over the Globe, since the simple fact is that 'pinkymonkey' presently offers domain and hosting services in numerous datacenter locations: in the USA (Chicago, IL), in the UK (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, covering nearly the entire planet. At least from the point of view of the Internet. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'pinkymonkey' in a nutshell:

Shared Web Space Hosting Packages

The first thing we, at mycloudcards.com, have perceived is the affordable prices of the shared hosting accounts provided by 'pinkymonkey'. 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 hosting accounts provided by 'pinkymonkey' are powered by a custom devised, state-of-the-art cloud web hosting solution (each web hosting service, like email, databases, webspace hosting CP, data storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being run on an individual bunch of servers in a cluster). This is something ANY cPanel web hosting provider on the Earth will have considerable predicaments with, since cPanel is a one-server based site hosting platform (each web hosting service, like email, databases, web space hosting CP, disk storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, runs on one single server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel-based webspace hosting distributors cannot add new functionality and handle it the way they want it) and there is no open source file platform (they have to devise their own file platform), which is the premise of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared web hosting accounts, which are powered by an actual clustered web hosting platform. With a shared website hosting plan, each customer pays only for his/her package, thus keeping the price amazingly low (because many clients share the same server). In brief, a shared hosting plan, which is hosted on a cloud webspace hosting system, enables you to pay only for the resources that you actually require, precluding a situation where you pay for a high-end webspace hosting plan that you cannot actually use, or for a small web space hosting package that cannot handle your site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with only 2 mouse clicks grants you the flexibility to commence with a basic package and upgrade as your online presence expands. So, you economize cash that you can expend on publicizing the site while it is still novel. Each and every web page hosting plan provided by 'pinkymonkey' arrives with an online site builder and more than 40 popular script platforms including WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you 100s of dollars for site design services. 'pinkymonkey' provides shared site hosting accounts in a number of different geographical regions around the World. There is one server farm facility in Chicago covering the United States and Canada; two European server farm facilities - in Great Britain and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia-Pacific. That way, almost the whole World is covered to supply you and your web page's visitors with a steady and dependable web hosting service at a desired place. On the whole, the shared hosting services supplied 'pinkymonkey' are really well appointed and come at an affordable price (beginning from $4.33 for the Starter plan).

Semi-dedicated Servers

To people with little or no experience, a Virtual Private Server may appear difficult to handle. That's perhaps why 'pinkymonkey' also keeps semi-dedicated hosting servers in its main North American datacenter facility in Chicago. Handling these packages is comparable to handling a standard shared web site hosting account via a web hosting Control Panel tool. They have all the features of a shared website hosting plan such as a free-of-cost site builder and a script installation tool, but the amount of system resources provided by a semi-dedicated server web hosting plan is many times greater than that of a shared webspace hosting account. For instance, the CPU power that can be utilized is nearly FIVE times as much as compared to the shared web site hosting accounts. When contrasted with a shared web space hosting account, the quota of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is immense: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted Top-Level Domain allowance is a principle too. The semi-dedicated hosting server packages do not ship with full root privileges (we, at mycloudcards.com, consider this a minor drawback), but the advantage is that they are managed through the same web space hosting CP GUI as the shared web space hosting packages. This suggests that a known graphical environment is accessible by all clients who do not feel confident enough to manage a VPS web hosting server, but at the same time demand more power and system resources than a private virtual hosting server can confer to them. This is so because of the fact that the semi-dedicated web servers share the resources of the very same powerful first-rate hosting servers as the ones which accommodate the Virtual Private Server web hosting packages, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated web hosting servers is quite small (somewhere between 20 to 30 per physical server), whereas the virtual private web hosting servers can reach a much higher number (eighty to 120 per physical server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers offered by 'pinkymonkey' can be labeled as being very cheap (as far as cost is concerned), beginning from $20.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 plan.

Dedicated Servers

In mycloudcards.com's opinion, huge web pages such as social networks, community and business web portals or famous web storefronts with 1000s of customers call for a much more powerful website hosting platform. It seems that the guys from 'pinkymonkey' have come to the same conclusion too. To fulfil its customers' demands, 'pinkymonkey' provides a collection of dedicated web hosting servers that can manage millions of daily visits. That assessment stands on the hardware specifications the servers include: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to 4 gigabytes of RAM, two thousand GB of storage space and Gigabit network cards will definitely guarantee the fast and steady performance of any type of website. According to 'pinkymonkey', the original hardware specifications can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding sites. We, from mycloudcards.com, consider that all dedicated server specifications supplied by 'pinkymonkey' are also appropriate for launching a hosting reseller business as every web server includes free-of-cost invoicing transaction software and a free-of-cost domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated hosting servers delivered by 'pinkymonkey' are all unmanaged. We, at mycloudcards.com, think of this as a little minus, which can be amended by paying a monthly fee which amounts to $32.00 USD. So, if you are in need of support, the Managed Services upgrade offers a few extra services such as a regular backup, software installation, dedicated server surveillance and troubleshooting operations. A bunch of web space hosting CP (CP) tools are available with each of the dedicated web servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (mycloudcards.com's) prediction is that the impressive drag and drop File Manager offered by the Hepsia site hosting CP will probably make the recourse to any File Transfer Protocol client useless. Our (mycloudcards.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers delivered by 'pinkymonkey' don't appear to be very low priced (yet the Hepsia web page hosting CP and the unmetered hosted domain quotas will doubtlessly make you smile), commencing from $40.00 for the Atom 2c plan.
