A survey of Toxist

We, at officemaker.org, have picked 'Toxist' to be our current domain name and hosting distributor. Therefore we suppose that this brief assessment of 'Toxist' is probably going to be very helpful for other individuals from all around the World who are looking for domain name and web hosting services. We state individuals from all around the Globe, since the mere truth is that 'Toxist' presently provides domain and hosting services in multiple datacenter facility locations: in the United States (Chicago, IL), in Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). That way, covering almost the entire planet. At least from the point of view of the Internet. So, here is what you could expect from 'Toxist' in a nutshell:

Shared Web Page Hosting Plans

The first detail we, at officemaker.org, have observed is the inexpensive prices of the shared web space hosting accounts provided by 'Toxist'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared hosting. The good thing here is that the site hosting packages furnished by 'Toxist' are driven by an in-house created, ultramodern cloud web hosting solution (each hosting service, such as email, databases, web space hosting CP, disk space, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being handled by a separate pack of hosting servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting distributor on the Globe will have huge complications with, because cPanel is a single server based web space hosting environment (each web hosting service, like electronic mail, databases, webspace hosting CP, web space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being run on one single web server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel-based site hosting vendors cannot add new functionality and handle it the way they need it) and there is no open source file platform (they must concoct their own file system), which is the precondition of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared site hosting accounts, which are driven by an actual cloud website hosting system. With a shared web page hosting account, each customer pays solely for his/her plan, thus keeping the web site hosting price really low (because plenty of users utilize the same web hosting server). In brief, a shared hosting account, which is hosted on a clustered web space hosting system, enables you to pay just for the reserves that you indeed require, precluding a situation where you pay for an advanced web space hosting plan that you cannot truly utilize, or for a small site hosting account that cannot host your web page. The possibility to upgrade your account from one plan to another with only 2 mouse clicks gives you the flexibility to commence with a low-end package and upgrade as your web site expands. In this way, you save money that you can spend on promoting the website while it is still novel. Each hosting account offered by 'Toxist' offers an online site building tool and more than forty widely used script software applications like WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you 100s of dollars for web site design solutions. 'Toxist' supplies shared website hosting plans in a number of different geographical regions around the World. There is one server farm facility in Chicago covering the USA and Canada; two European datacenters - in Britain and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia Pacific. In this way, nearly the whole planet is encompassed to supply you and your web page's visitors with a steady and dependable web page hosting service at a desired place. On the whole, the shared hosting plans delivered 'Toxist' are really well appointed and come at a very reasonable price (starting from $6.25 for the Starter package).

Semi-dedicated Web Servers

To clients with little or no experience, a virtual private web server may seem complicated to administer. That's perhaps why 'Toxist' also stores semi-dedicated web hosting servers in its principal US server farm in Chicago. Managing these plans is comparable to handling a typical shared web page hosting account via a website hosting Control Panel user interface. They have all the functionalities of a shared hosting account such as a fee-free site building tool and a script installation tool, but the system resource quota offered by a semi-dedicated plan is many times bigger than that of a shared website hosting package. For example, the central processing unit power that can be used is approximately FIVE times as much as compared to the shared site hosting plans. When juxtaposed to a shared site hosting package, the quota of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting accounts is huge: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted domain name allowance is a rule too. The semi-dedicated hosting server accounts do not come with full root-level access (we, at officemaker.org, consider this a little drawback), but the benefit is that they are managed via the very same site hosting Control Panel GUI as the shared hosting plans. This means that a familiar graphical environment is available to all customers who are not self-confident enough to manage a VPS web hosting server, yet require more power and features than a virtual web server can provide them with. This is like that due to the fact that the semi-dedicated web hosting servers share the reserves of the very same powerful first-rate web hosting servers as the ones which host the VPS server web hosting packages, still, the number of the semi-dedicated hosting servers is very low (somewhere between twenty to 30 per physical server), while the virtual private web hosting servers can reach a much bigger number (eighty to a hundred and twenty per physical server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers supplied by 'Toxist' can be categorized as being very cheap (as far as price is concerned), beginning from $40.00 for the Mini plan.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

According to officemaker.org, enormous web sites such as social networks, community and corporate web portals or popular web shops with thousands of clients require a much more powerful webspace hosting environment. It appears that the blokes from 'Toxist' have come to the same conclusion as well. To answer its customers' needs, 'Toxist' supplies a bouquet of dedicated servers that can cope with millions of daily visits. That estimate rests on the hardware specifications the dedicated web servers have: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, 2000 GB of storage space and Gigabit network interface cards will no doubt ensure the fast and steady performance of any kind of web site. In 'Toxist's opinion, the primary hardware specs can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding web sites. We, from officemaker.org, think that all dedicated server specs offered by 'Toxist' are also appropriate for kickstarting a hosting reseller business as each server arrives with free billing software platform and a fee-free domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated servers delivered by 'Toxist' are all unmanaged. We, at officemaker.org, deem this a slight downside, which can be rectified by paying a monthly fee which amounts to $32.00 USD. So, if you are in need of support, the Managed Services upgrade offers an array of supplementary services such as a regular backup, software installation, web hosting server surveillance and troubleshooting procedures. An assortment of web hosting CP (CP) interfaces are available with each of the web hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (officemaker.org's) prediction is that the exceptional drag-and-drop File Manager included in the Hepsia web space hosting Control Panel will probably make the recourse to any File Transfer Protocol software program useless. Our (officemaker.org's) inference is that the dedicated servers supplied by 'Toxist' don't seem to be very modestly priced (still the Hepsia webspace hosting Control Panel and the unmetered hosted domain name quotas will no doubt make you smile), beginning from $80.00 for the Xeon E3 v5 plan.
