A survey of Runner Hosting

We, at teammate.team, have selected 'Runner Hosting' to be our current domain name and web hosting supplier. This is why we believe that this succinct review of 'Runner Hosting' is perchance going to be quite useful for other people from all around the World in need of domain name and web hosting services. We say people from all around the Globe, since the mere fact is that 'Runner Hosting' currently delivers domain and hosting services in multiple data center facility locations: in the US (Chicago, IL), in Great Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, encompassing almost the entire planet. At least as far as the Internet is concerned. So, here is what you could expect from 'Runner Hosting' in a few words:

Shared Web Hosting Solutions

The initial thing we, at teammate.team, have seen is the affordable prices of the shared website hosting plans offered by 'Runner Hosting'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared hosting. The good news here is that the web page hosting packages furnished by 'Runner Hosting' are driven by an in-house built, modern cloud web hosting platform (each hosting service, like electronic mail, databases, web site hosting Control Panel, storage space, DNS, stats, and so on, is being run on a separate stack of hosting servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance EVERY cPanel web hosting distributor on the Globe will have considerable complications with, since cPanel is a one single server based site hosting environment (each web hosting service, like mail, databases, web site hosting CP, storage space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being handled by one single web hosting server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel-based website hosting providers are unable to add extra functionality and handle it the way they need it) and there is no open source file platform (they must design their own file platform), which is the foundation of any cloud web hosting service. Let's get back to the shared webspace hosting packages, which are driven by an authentic cloud web site hosting platform. With a shared website hosting account, each client pays solely for his/her package, thus keeping the price really low (because a lot of clients share one and the same web hosting server). In short, a shared hosting account, which is being served by a clustered web space hosting platform, enables you to pay only for the resources that you actually require, evading a scenario where you pay for a feature-rich web hosting package that you cannot really utilize, or for a small web space hosting account that cannot host your site. The ability to upgrade your account from one plan to another with just two clicks grants you the flexibility to start with a small package and upgrade as your web presence expands. So, you save money that you can expend on advertising the website while it is still new. Each and every web page hosting account delivered by 'Runner Hosting' sports an online web site builder and more than 40 widely used script-driven software applications like WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you 100s of dollars for web design services. 'Runner Hosting' distributes shared web hosting services in a number of different countries around the Globe. There is one datacenter facility in Chicago encompassing the USA and Canada; 2 European datacenter facilities - in Great Britain and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia Pacific. In this way, almost the entire World is encompassed to provide you and your web page's visitors with a steady and dependable web hosting service at a convenient place. Altogether, the shared hosting solutions delivered 'Runner Hosting' are quite well appointed and are available at a very good price (starting from $6.95 for the Student package).

Semi-dedicated Web Hosting Servers

To customers with little to no practice, a VPS web hosting server may seem problematic to administer. That's probably why 'Runner Hosting' also offers semi-dedicated web servers in its main North American datacenter in Chicago. Administering these accounts is similar to managing a typical shared site hosting plan through a web hosting CP tool. They have all the specs of a shared web space hosting account such as a free-of-charge web site builder and a script installation tool, but the system resource quota provided by a semi-dedicated hosting server account is many times bigger than that of a shared site hosting plan. For instance, the CPU power that can be used is nearly 5 times as much as compared to the shared webspace hosting accounts. When matched against a shared website hosting plan, the number of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is immense: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted domain name allowance is a pattern as well. The semi-dedicated web server accounts do not ship with root-level access (we, at teammate.team, think of this as a small drawback), but the plus is that they are managed through the same website hosting CP interface as the shared site hosting accounts. This means that a well-known GUI is available to all customers who are not confident enough to manage a VPS web hosting server, yet need more power and reserves than a virtual web hosting server can provide them with. This is so owing to the fact that the semi-dedicated web servers share the system resources of the same powerful high-end web servers as the ones which accommodate the VPS web server hosting packages, however, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is quite small (somewhere between 20 to 30 per physical machine), whereas the VPSs can reach a much bigger number (eighty to 120 per server). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers supplied by 'Runner Hosting' can be dubbed as being quite inexpensive (as far as cost is concerned), commencing from $20.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 plan.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

In teammate.team's opinion, huge sites such as social networks, community and corporate portals or popular web shops with thousands of clients require a much more powerful webspace hosting solution. It appears that the guys from 'Runner Hosting' have come to the same conclusion too. To answer its users' expectations, 'Runner Hosting' delivers a collection of dedicated servers that can manage millions of daily hits. That evaluation stands on the hardware specs the dedicated hosting servers ship with: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to 4 gigabytes of RAM, 2000 GB of disk storage and Gigabit network cards will undoubtedly ensure the quick and stable performance of any sort of site. In 'Runner Hosting's opinion, the original hardware specifications can be upgraded for more system resource-requiring websites. We, from teammate.team, deem that all dedicated server plans supplied by 'Runner Hosting' are also suitable for commencing a hosting reseller business as each web server offers free-of-cost invoicing transaction software platform and a bonus domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated web servers provided by 'Runner Hosting' are all unmanaged. We, at teammate.team, think of this as a minor drawback, which can be corrected by paying a monthly tax of $32.00 USD. So, if you require backing, the Managed Services upgrade offers various additional services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated web server monitoring and troubleshooting operations. An assortment of webspace hosting Control Panel (CP) interfaces are available with each of the dedicated web servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (teammate.team's) prediction is that the amazing drag-and-drop File Manager available in the Hepsia webspace hosting Control Panel will perhaps make the use of any File Transfer Protocol software pointless. Our (teammate.team's) inference is that the dedicated servers offered by 'Runner Hosting' don't appear to be very cheap (still the Hepsia webspace hosting CP and the unlimited hosted domain quotas will no doubt make you smile), starting from $60.00 for the Xeon E3 v3 plan.
