A review of Galaxy Gig

We, at phillipsproperty.co.uk, have selected 'Galaxy Gig' to be our present domain name and hosting vendor. Hence we imagine that this brief assessment of 'Galaxy Gig' is maybe going to be quite helpful for other people from all around the World who seek domain name and web hosting services. We say individuals from all over the World, because the simple fact is that 'Galaxy Gig' presently furnishes domain and hosting services in numerous datacenter locations: in America (Chicago, IL), in the United Kingdom (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). That way, embracing virtually the whole World. At least as far as the Internet is concerned. So, here is what you could expect from 'Galaxy Gig' in a nutshell:

Shared Web Page Hosting Plans

The first detail we, at phillipsproperty.co.uk, have perceived is the cut-rate prices of the shared site hosting services provided by 'Galaxy Gig'. 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 hosting packages provided by 'Galaxy Gig' are powered by a custom designed, modern cloud web hosting platform (each web hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, web space hosting Control Panel, disk storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being tackled by an independent stack of web servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting company on the Earth will have enormous difficulties with, because cPanel is a single server based web page hosting environment (each hosting service, like mail, databases, site hosting CP, web space, DNS, stats, and so on, is being served by a single server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel-based webspace hosting corporations are unable to include additional functionality and handle it the way they need it) and there is no open source file platform (they have to devise their own file system), which is at the heart of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared web page hosting accounts, which are powered by a genuine clustered website hosting system. With a shared site hosting account, each customer pays only for his/her plan, thus maintaining the web site hosting price amazingly low (because a lot of users are hosted on one and the same hosting server). To cut a long story short, a shared hosting plan, which is being served by a cloud web space hosting platform, enables you to pay only for the resources that you really demand, avoiding a scenario where you pay for a feature-rich web space hosting account that you cannot really use, or for a low-end web page hosting plan that cannot handle your web site. The option to upgrade your account from one package to another with only two clicks gives you the flexibility to begin with a low-end package and upgrade as your website grows. Hence, you save money that you can invest in promoting the site while it is still brand new. Each and every site hosting plan offered by 'Galaxy Gig' ships with an online website builder and over forty popular script software applications including WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you hundreds of dollars for website design services. 'Galaxy Gig' furnishes shared web space hosting solutions in several different geographical regions around the Globe. There is one server farm in Chicago covering the US and Canada; 2 European data centers - in Britain and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia Pacific region. Hence, almost the whole Globe is covered to present you and your web page's visitors with a steady and fast web site hosting service at a preferred place. Altogether, the shared hosting plans provided 'Galaxy Gig' are quite well stocked and are available at a very modest price (starting from $5.95 for the Business plan).

Dedicated Web Servers

According to phillipsproperty.co.uk, large sites such as social networks, community and business web portals or famous online shops with 1000s of customers require a much more powerful web site hosting platform. It seems that the folks from 'Galaxy Gig' have drawn the same conclusion as well. To satisfy its clients' anticipations, 'Galaxy Gig' offers an array of dedicated web hosting servers that can cope with millions of daily hits. That assessment is based on the hardware specs the dedicated web hosting servers arrive with: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to 4 gigabytes of RAM, two thousand GB of disk storage and Gigabit network interface cards will undoubtedly ensure the fast and stable work of any sort of site. According to 'Galaxy Gig', the primary hardware configurations can be upgraded for more system resource-requiring sites. We, from phillipsproperty.co.uk, think that all dedicated server specs furnished by 'Galaxy Gig' are also suitable for starting a hosting reseller business as each hosting server offers free invoice transaction software and a fee-free domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated web servers offered by 'Galaxy Gig' are all unmanaged. We, at phillipsproperty.co.uk, consider this a small disadvantage, which can be rectified by paying a monthly fee of $32.00 USD. So, if you need backing, the Managed Services upgrade offers a handful of additional services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated hosting server surveillance and troubleshooting operations. A handful of web site hosting Control Panel (CP) interfaces are available with each of the dedicated web servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (phillipsproperty.co.uk's) prediction is that the splendid drag-and-drop File Manager available in the Hepsia web space hosting CP will perhaps make the recourse to any File Transfer Protocol software useless. Our (phillipsproperty.co.uk's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers furnished by 'Galaxy Gig' don't appear to be very low priced (still the Hepsia site hosting CP and the unmetered hosted domain name quotas will doubtlessly make you smile), beginning from $145.00 for the Xeon Scalable 8c plan.
