An evaluation of CloudNEO

We, at mindovermatters.org, have chosen 'CloudNEO' to be our present domain name and web hosting distributor. Hence we believe that this succinct review of 'CloudNEO' is perhaps going to be very useful for other folks from all over the Globe who seek domain name and web hosting services. We say individuals from all around the Globe, since the simple fact is that 'CloudNEO' currently delivers domain and hosting services in multiple data center locations: in the USA (Chicago, IL), in Great Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, covering nearly the whole Earth. At least from the point of view of the World Wide Web. So, here is what you could expect from 'CloudNEO' in short:

Shared Web Site Hosting Accounts

The first detail we, at mindovermatters.org, have spotted is the budget prices of the shared web page hosting solutions supplied by 'CloudNEO'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared web hosting. The good thing here is that the website hosting packages provided by 'CloudNEO' are powered by an in-house developed, ultramodern cloud web hosting solution (each web hosting service, such as mail, databases, site hosting Control Panel, disk storage, DNS, statistics, etc., is being run on a separate group of web servers in a cluster). This is something ANY cPanel web hosting supplier on the Globe will have big difficulties with, because cPanel is a single server based webspace hosting environment (each web hosting service, such as email, databases, web space hosting CP, data storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being served by one single web server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel website hosting corporations are not able to include extra functionality and manipulate it the way they need it) and there is no open source file platform (they must construct their own file platform), which is at the heart of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared hosting packages, which are powered by an actual clustered web page hosting platform. With a shared web page hosting account, each client pays only for his/her package, thus keeping the web space hosting price very low (because numerous clients utilize one and the same server). In a few words, a shared hosting account, which is being served by a cloud web hosting system, enables you to pay solely for the reserves that you indeed require, precluding a scenario where you pay for a feature-rich web space hosting account that you cannot truly utilize, or for a tiny web site hosting plan that cannot host your web page. The ability to upgrade your account from one package to another with only two mouse clicks grants you the flexibility to commence with a small package and upgrade as your site grows. Hence, you economize funds that you can expend on promoting the website while it is still new. Each and every webspace hosting package offered by 'CloudNEO' comes with an online site builder and more than forty widely used script-driven software platforms such as WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you 100s of dollars for web site design solutions. 'CloudNEO' supplies shared hosting solutions in several different countries across the World. There is one data center in Chicago encompassing the United States and Canada; two European server farm facilities - in the UK and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia-Pacific region. In this way, almost the entire Globe is encompassed to present you and your visitors with a steady and reliable site hosting service at a desired place. As a whole, the shared hosting solutions provided 'CloudNEO' are really well appointed and come at a cut-rate price (starting from €5.00 for the Beginner package).

Dedicated Servers

In mindovermatters.org's opinion, large websites such as social networks, community and business web portals or popular online shops with thousands of customers need a much more powerful web space hosting environment. It appears that the fellows from 'CloudNEO' have come to the same conclusion too. To meet its customers' requirements, 'CloudNEO' offers a number of dedicated hosting servers that can cope with millions of daily visits. That assessment rests on the hardware specs the dedicated web servers have: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, two thousand GB of disk storage and Gigabit NICs will doubtlessly ensure the fast and steady work of any kind of web site. In 'CloudNEO's opinion, the primary hardware specs can be upgraded for more resource-requiring sites. We, from mindovermatters.org, consider that all dedicated server packages delivered by 'CloudNEO' are also appropriate for launching a hosting reseller business as every hosting server ships with free invoicing software and a cost-free domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated web hosting servers delivered by 'CloudNEO' are all unmanaged. We, at mindovermatters.org, regard this as a little minus, which can be corrected by paying a monthly tax of €32.44 EUR. So, if you demand aid, the Managed Services upgrade provides a number of extra services such as a routine backup, software installation, web hosting server surveillance and troubleshooting operations. A bunch of web site hosting CP (CP) user interfaces are available with each of the web servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (mindovermatters.org's) prediction is that the superb drag-and-drop File Manager offered by the Hepsia Control Panel will probably render the utilization of any FTP software useless. Our (mindovermatters.org's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers furnished by 'CloudNEO' don't seem to be very inexpensive (yet the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and the unmetered hosted domain name quotas will undoubtedly make you smile), beginning from €155.64 for the Xeon Scalable 8c package.
