A review of GaskinTech

We, at laughwithjames.com, have selected 'GaskinTech' to be our present domain name and hosting distributor. This is why we anticipate that this succinct assessment of 'GaskinTech' is perhaps going to be very useful for other folks from all over the World who are looking for domain name and web hosting services. We say folks from all over the Globe, since the simple truth is that 'GaskinTech' presently supplies domain and hosting services in several datacenter locations: in North America (Chicago, IL), in England (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, encompassing practically the entire Globe. At least as far as the World Wide Web is concerned. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'GaskinTech' in brief:

Shared Webspace Hosting Packages

The first thing we, at laughwithjames.com, have detected is the cheap prices of the shared website hosting accounts supplied by 'GaskinTech'. 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 offered by 'GaskinTech' are powered by an in-house invented, modern cloud web hosting platform (each hosting service, such as email, databases, web space hosting CP, data storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being dealt with by a different set of web servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting firm on the Earth will have colossal problems with, since cPanel is a one-server based web page hosting platform (each hosting service, such as email, databases, web site hosting Control Panel, web space, DNS, stats, etc., is being run on a single server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel-based website hosting companies are unable to add additional functionality and manipulate it the way they need it) and there is no open source file platform (they need to develop their own file platform), which is the prerequisite of any cloud web hosting service. Let's get back to the shared web space hosting accounts, which are driven by a real cloud web site hosting system. With a shared web space hosting package, each customer pays just for his/her account, thus preserving the web site hosting price very low (because numerous clients are located on the same hosting server). To cut a long story short, a shared hosting plan, which is being served by a clustered web page hosting system, allows you to pay only for the reserves that you actually require, escaping a scenario where you pay for a powerful web page hosting account that you cannot actually use, or for a small hosting package that cannot host your website. The ability to upgrade your account from one package to another with just 2 clicks gives you the flexibility to start with a low-end plan and upgrade as your site expands. Thus, you economize cash that you can invest in publicizing the web site while it is still novel. Every site hosting account offered by 'GaskinTech' includes an online web site building tool and over 40 popular script-driven software applications such as WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you 100s of dollars for web design services. 'GaskinTech' delivers shared hosting plans in a number of different geographical regions across the Globe. There is one server farm facility in Chicago covering the US and Canada; 2 European server farms - in the UK and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia Pacific region. That way, virtually the whole Globe is covered to provide you and your visitors with a steady and fast web hosting service at a preferred location. Altogether, the shared hosting plans supplied 'GaskinTech' are very well stocked and are available at a cut-rate price (beginning from $3.00 for the Starter plan).

Semi-dedicated Web Hosting Servers

To customers with little or no practice, a VPS web hosting server may appear difficult to manage. That's perhaps why 'GaskinTech' also stores semi-dedicated web hosting servers in its main United States datacenter in Chicago. Managing these accounts is similar to managing a normal shared web space hosting package via a CP GUI. They have all the features of a shared web site hosting account such as a free-of-cost website building tool and a web app installation tool, but the amount of system resources offered by a semi-dedicated account is many times larger than that of a shared web space hosting account. For instance, the central processing unit power that can be utilized is almost 5 times as much as compared with the shared web space hosting accounts. When compared to a shared hosting plan, the quota of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting accounts is vast: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted domain name quota is a principle too. The semi-dedicated hosting plans do not ship with root privileges (we, at laughwithjames.com, deem this a small minus), but the benefit is that they are managed via the very same website hosting Control Panel tool as the shared web space hosting accounts. This hints that a user-friendly GUI is available to all customers who do not feel confident enough to administer a virtual server, but at the same time need more power and reserves than a Virtual Private Server can supply them with. This is so owing to the fact that the semi-dedicated web hosting servers share the resources of the same powerful first-rate hosting servers as the ones which accommodate the VPS web hosting plans, however, the number of the semi-dedicated servers is very low (somewhere between twenty to thirty per physical machine), whereas the virtual web hosting servers can reach a much greater number (80 to 120 per server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers provided by 'GaskinTech' can be categorized as being quite affordable (as far as price is concerned), starting from $20.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 package.

Dedicated Servers

According to laughwithjames.com, big websites such as social networks, community and corporate portals or famous online storefronts with thousands of customers need a much more powerful hosting platform. It appears that the blokes from 'GaskinTech' have reached the same conclusion as well. To satisfy its customers' requirements, 'GaskinTech' supplies a collection of dedicated web hosting servers that can tackle millions of daily hits. That evaluation stands on the hardware specs the dedicated servers sport: multi-core processors, up to 4 gigabytes of RAM, 2000 GB of data storage and Gigabit NICs will undoubtedly guarantee the fast and steady performance of any sort of site. In 'GaskinTech's opinion, the original hardware specs can be upgraded for more resource-requiring websites. We, from laughwithjames.com, consider that all dedicated server packages provided by 'GaskinTech' are also appropriate for commencing a hosting reseller business as each and every server ships with free-of-charge billing transaction software and a free-of-charge domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated servers delivered by 'GaskinTech' are all unmanaged. We, at laughwithjames.com, think of this as a minor downside, which can be corrected by paying a monthly tax which amounts to $32.00 USD. So, if you need backing, the Managed Services upgrade includes a selection of additional services such as a routine backup, software installation, hosting server monitoring and troubleshooting operations. A number of web site hosting CP (CP) GUIs are available with each of the dedicated hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (laughwithjames.com's) prediction is that the superb point-and-click File Manager added in the Hepsia web space hosting Control Panel will probably render the utilization of any FTP software program futile. Our (laughwithjames.com's) inference is that the dedicated servers offered by 'GaskinTech' don't seem to be very affordably priced (still the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and the unmetered hosted domain allowance will doubtlessly make you smile), beginning from $115.00 for the Xeon Scalable 6c package.
