A review of G Designz

We, at mrab.ca, have chosen 'G Designz' to be our present domain and hosting provider. Therefore we believe that this concise assessment of 'G Designz' is perchance going to be very useful for other people from all around the World who are searching for domain name and web hosting solutions. We say people from all over the World, because the simple truth is that 'G Designz' presently offers domain and hosting services in several server farm sites: in the United States (Chicago, IL), in Great Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). That way, covering almost the whole World. At least from the point of view of the Internet. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'G Designz' in a few words:

Shared Web Hosting Plans

The first thing we, at mrab.ca, have seen is the budget prices of the shared hosting accounts offered by 'G Designz'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared hosting. The good news here is that the site hosting plans furnished by 'G Designz' are driven by an in-house created, avant-garde cloud web hosting platform (each web hosting service, like electronic mail, databases, web page hosting CP, disk storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being run on an individual group of servers in a cluster). This is something EVERY cPanel web hosting vendor in the World will have big problems with, since cPanel is a single server based hosting environment (each web hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, site hosting CP, data storage, DNS, stats, and so on, is being dealt with by one and the same web hosting server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel-based webspace hosting companies cannot add new functionality and manipulate it the way they need it) and there is no open source file system (they must build their own file platform), which is the precondition of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared hosting plans, which are driven by an actual clustered website hosting system. With a shared website hosting package, each client pays only for his/her account, thus maintaining the web space hosting price amazingly low (since multiple users use one and the same hosting server). To cut a long story short, a shared hosting account, which runs on a clustered hosting platform, enables you to pay just for the reserves that you indeed require, avoiding a situation where you pay for an advanced site hosting package that you cannot really utilize, or for a basic web space hosting plan that cannot shelter your site. The ability to upgrade your account from one package to another with just 2 mouse clicks grants you the flexibility to commence with a basic plan and upgrade as your online presence grows. Thus, you spare money that you can invest in publicizing the web site while it is still brand new. Every webspace hosting package supplied by 'G Designz' ships with an online website builder and over forty popular script-driven software platforms including WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you 100s of dollars for website design services. 'G Designz' distributes shared web hosting accounts in a number of different countries around the World. There is one data center facility in Chicago covering the USA and Canada; two European server farm facilities - in the UK and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia Pacific region. That way, virtually the entire Globe is covered to supply you and your site's visitors with a steady and fast site hosting solution at a preferred place. All in all, the shared hosting services offered 'G Designz' are quite well appointed and are available at an affordable price (beginning from C$5.92 for the Business plan).

Dedicated Hosting Servers

According to mrab.ca, large sites such as social networks, community and business portals or famous online stores with thousands of customers require a much more powerful web space hosting platform. It appears that the blokes from 'G Designz' have drawn the same conclusion as well. To satisfy its users' expectations, 'G Designz' supplies a bouquet of dedicated web hosting servers that can manage millions of daily hits. That estimate is based on the hardware specs the dedicated servers are offering: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to 4 GB of RAM, two thousand gigabytes of disk storage and Gigabit NICs will no doubt ensure the quick and steady performance of any kind of website. In 'G Designz's opinion, the original hardware specs can be upgraded for more system resource-requiring websites. We, from mrab.ca, believe that all dedicated server packages supplied by 'G Designz' are also suitable for beginning a hosting reseller business as each web hosting server offers free billing software platform and a bonus domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated servers furnished by 'G Designz' are all unmanaged. We, at mrab.ca, deem this a slight defect, which can be corrected by paying a monthly fee of C$50.49 CAD. So, if you demand assistance, the Managed Services upgrade includes a selection of supplementary services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated web server surveillance and troubleshooting procedures. Several web page hosting Control Panel (CP) tools are available with each of the web hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (mrab.ca's) prognosis is that the impressive point and click File Manager added in the Hepsia Control Panel will probably render the recourse to any File Transfer Protocol client futile. Our (mrab.ca's) inference is that the dedicated servers supplied by 'G Designz' don't seem to be very low priced (yet the Hepsia website hosting CP and the unmetered hosted domain name quotas will doubtlessly make you smile), beginning from C$227.73 for the Xeon Scalable 8c plan.
