An assessment of Future Techniques

We, at mountroyalmotel.com, have picked 'Future Techniques' to be our present domain name and hosting vendor. Hence we believe that this brief review of 'Future Techniques' is maybe going to be quite helpful for other individuals from all over the World who need domain name and web hosting solutions. We state individuals from all around the World, since the simple truth is that 'Future Techniques' currently delivers domain and hosting services in several data center facility locations: in North America (Chicago, IL), in Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, embracing almost the whole planet. At least from the point of view of the World Wide Web. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Future Techniques' in short:

Shared Site Hosting Services

The initial detail we, at mountroyalmotel.com, have detected is the affordable prices of the shared web hosting solutions delivered by 'Future Techniques'. 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 web site hosting packages offered by 'Future Techniques' are powered by an in-house designed, futuristic cloud web hosting solution (each web hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, web space hosting CP, storage space, DNS, stats, etc., is being dealt with by an individual pack of web servers in a cluster). This is something ANY cPanel web hosting distributor in the World will have colossal predicaments with, because cPanel is a one-server based web hosting environment (each hosting service, like mail, databases, Control Panel, storage space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being run on one and the same web server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel-based hosting firms are not able to add extra functionality and handle it the way they need it) and there is no open source file platform (they must devise their own file system), which is at the heart of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared web site hosting plans, which are driven by a real cloud hosting platform. With a shared hosting plan, each customer pays solely for his/her plan, thus maintaining the webspace hosting price really low (since multiple users share one and the same hosting server). In a nutshell, a shared hosting package, which is hosted on a clustered website hosting solution, allows you to pay only for the resources that you really demand, precluding a scenario where you pay for a feature-rich site hosting plan that you cannot actually use, or for a basic web page hosting package that cannot host your site. The option to upgrade your account from one plan to another with only two clicks gives you the flexibility to begin with a basic plan and upgrade as your Internet presence grows. Thus, you spare cash that you can invest in advertising the web site while it is still brand new. Each web site hosting package offered by 'Future Techniques' offers an online site builder and more than forty popular script software platforms including WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you hundreds of dollars for web page design services. 'Future Techniques' furnishes shared webspace hosting packages in several different geographical regions around the Globe. There is one server farm facility in Chicago covering the US and Canada; 2 European data centers - in Great Britain and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia-Pacific. In this way, virtually the whole Globe is encompassed to provide you and your web page's visitors with a stable and fast web site hosting service at a desired place. All in all, the shared hosting solutions delivered 'Future Techniques' are really well equipped and come at a very attractive price (starting from $3.75 for the Personal package).

Semi-dedicated Servers

To users with little to no practice, a virtual server may seem problematic to administer. That's probably why 'Future Techniques' also houses semi-dedicated web hosting servers in its main US data center in Chicago. Administering these packages is comparable to managing a regular shared webspace hosting plan through a site hosting Control Panel tool. They have all the specs of a shared site hosting plan such as a free-of-cost website builder and a script installer, but the amount of system resources offered by a semi-dedicated hosting server account is many times larger than that of a shared webspace hosting plan. For example, the CPU power that can be utilized is nearly FIVE times as much as compared with the shared web hosting packages. When matched against a shared web hosting account, the quota of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is enormous: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted top-level domain name allowance is a principle as well. The semi-dedicated hosting accounts do not include complete root-level access (we, at mountroyalmotel.com, think that this is a little problem), but the advantage is that they are administered via the same web page hosting CP GUI as the shared web site hosting accounts. This implies that a recognizable graphical environment is offered to all clients who are not confident enough to handle a virtual web hosting server, yet need more power and system resources than a private virtual server can give them. This is so owing to the fact that the semi-dedicated servers share the system resources of the very same powerful first-class hosting servers as the ones which host the virtual private hosting server accounts, however, the number of the semi-dedicated servers is very small (somewhere between 20 to thirty per physical machine), while the VPSs can reach a much bigger number (80 to a hundred and twenty per physical server). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers furnished by 'Future Techniques' can be dubbed as being very cheap (as far as cost is concerned), commencing from $20.00 for the Mercury plan.

Dedicated Servers

In mountroyalmotel.com's opinion, big web pages such as social networks, community and business portals or popular online stores with thousands of clients call for a much more powerful site hosting platform. It appears that the guys from 'Future Techniques' have drawn the same conclusion as well. To live up to its clients' demands, 'Future Techniques' supplies a number of dedicated web servers that can handle millions of daily visits. That evaluation stands on the hardware specifications the servers include: multi-core processors, up to 4 GB of RAM, two thousand gigabytes of storage space and Gigabit NICs will definitely ensure the fast and steady performance of any type of website. In 'Future Techniques's opinion, the primary hardware configurations can be upgraded for more system resource-requiring web sites. We, from mountroyalmotel.com, deem that all dedicated server specifications supplied by 'Future Techniques' are also suitable for initiating a hosting reseller business as each and every dedicated hosting server provides free-of-cost billing software platform and a charge-free domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated hosting servers furnished by 'Future Techniques' are all unmanaged. We, at mountroyalmotel.com, deem this a small inconvenience, which can be rectified by paying a monthly fee which amounts to $32.00 USD. So, if you are in need of aid, the Managed Services upgrade includes a few extra services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated web server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. Several website hosting Control Panel (CP) interfaces are offered with each of the dedicated web hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (mountroyalmotel.com's) prognosis is that the impressive drag-and-drop File Manager available in the Hepsia site hosting CP will perhaps make the use of any File Transfer Protocol client useless. Our (mountroyalmotel.com's) inference is that the dedicated servers furnished by 'Future Techniques' don't seem to be very affordably priced (still the Hepsia webspace hosting CP and the unlimited hosted domain name allowance will undoubtedly make you smile), commencing from $40.00 for the Apollo plan.
