An assessment of Ajnoj

We, at hierrofuerte.com, have selected 'Ajnoj' to be our current domain name and web hosting provider. Therefore we suppose that this brief assessment of 'Ajnoj' is maybe going to be very useful for other folks from all around the World in search for domain name and web hosting services. We say people from all around the Globe, because the simple truth is that 'Ajnoj' presently furnishes domain and hosting services in multiple server farm facility locations: in North America (Chicago, IL), in the UK (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). That way, covering approximately the entire World. At least as far as the Internet is concerned. So, here is what you could expect from 'Ajnoj' in brief:

Shared Hosting Packages

The initial detail we, at hierrofuerte.com, have noted is the inexpensive prices of the shared web space hosting plans provided by 'Ajnoj'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared web hosting. The good news here is that the webspace hosting packages furnished by 'Ajnoj' are powered by a custom developed, modern cloud web hosting solution (each hosting service, like email, databases, web space hosting CP, disk space, DNS, statistics, etc., runs on a different group of hosting servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting provider on the Globe will have big complications with, because cPanel is a single server based web hosting platform (each hosting service, such as mail, databases, Control Panel, disk storage, DNS, stats, etc., is being tackled by a single hosting server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel-based website hosting companies cannot add new functionality and handle it the way they want it) and there is no open source file platform (they need to construct their own file system), which is the foundation of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared web page hosting plans, which are driven by an authentic clustered website hosting system. With a shared web hosting plan, each customer pays solely for his/her package, thus keeping the web space hosting price really low (since numerous users are located on one and the same hosting server). In a nutshell, a shared hosting plan, which is hosted on a cloud hosting system, permits you to pay solely for the resources that you actually require, averting a scenario where you pay for a powerful website hosting package that you cannot really utilize, or for a small web hosting package that cannot handle your site. The option to upgrade your account from one package to another with just two clicks grants you the flexibility to kick off with a small plan and upgrade as your Internet presence grows. Hence, you save money that you can invest in promoting the web page while it is still novel. Each web hosting account provided by 'Ajnoj' includes an online site builder and more than forty widely used script-driven software platforms among them WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you hundreds of dollars for web site design services. 'Ajnoj' delivers shared web site hosting accounts in a number of different geographical regions across the World. There is one data center facility in Chicago covering the USA and Canada; two European data center facilities - in the United Kingdom and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia-Pacific. Hence, approximately the entire World is covered to supply you and your site's visitors with a steady and reliable hosting service at a convenient location. As a whole, the shared hosting plans provided 'Ajnoj' are really well stocked and are available at a very attractive price (starting from $3.33 for the basic_1 plan).

Semi-dedicated Web Servers

To clients with little to no experience, a private virtual web server may appear hard to administer. That's probably why 'Ajnoj' also keeps semi-dedicated web servers in its principal US data center facility in Chicago. Administering these packages is similar to administering a typical shared site hosting package via a website hosting Control Panel tool. They have all the features of a shared account such as a free website building tool and a web app installer, but the system resource quota typical of a semi-dedicated web server package is many times bigger than that of a shared web page hosting account. For example, the CPU power that can be used is about 5 times as much as compared with the shared webspace hosting packages. When juxtaposed to a shared plan, the quota of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is big: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted Top-Level Domain allowance is a principle too. The semi-dedicated web hosting plans do not ship with root-level access (we, at hierrofuerte.com, think that this is a slight negative point), but the good point is that they are managed through the same web site hosting CP tool as the shared web space hosting plans. This signifies that a user-friendly GUI is offered to all customers who do not have enough self-condifence to handle a Virtual Private Server, but at the same time require more power and features than a VPS can offer. This is like that owing to the fact that the semi-dedicated hosting servers share the system resources of the very same powerful first-rate hosting servers as the ones which accommodate the VPS server accounts, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated servers is very small (somewhere between 20 to 30 per physical machine), while the virtual hosting servers can reach a much higher number (80 to a hundred and twenty per physical machine). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers delivered by 'Ajnoj' can be dubbed as being very affordable (as far as cost is concerned), commencing from $20.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 package.

Dedicated Servers

In hierrofuerte.com's opinion, enormous web sites such as social networks, community and business web portals or famous web storefronts with thousands of clients request a much more powerful website hosting environment. It seems that the fellows from 'Ajnoj' have come to the same conclusion too. To answer its users' demands, 'Ajnoj' offers a number of dedicated web servers that can manage millions of daily hits. That assessment is based on the hardware configurations the dedicated web servers come with: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, 2000 gigabytes of web space and Gigabit NICs will doubtlessly guarantee the quick and stable performance of any kind of site. In 'Ajnoj's opinion, the primary hardware specs can be upgraded for more system resource-requiring websites. We, from hierrofuerte.com, deem that all dedicated server accounts supplied by 'Ajnoj' are also suitable for kickstarting a hosting reseller business as each and every dedicated web hosting server includes free-of-charge invoice transaction software and a charge-free domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated web servers provided by 'Ajnoj' are all unmanaged. We, at hierrofuerte.com, think that this is a small disadvantage, which can be adjusted by paying a monthly fee of $32.00 USD. So, if you demand help, the Managed Services upgrade offers a bunch of supplementary services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated hosting server surveillance and troubleshooting procedures. A handful of Control Panel (CP) user interfaces are offered with each of the web hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (hierrofuerte.com's) prediction is that the outstanding point-and-click File Manager added in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel will possibly make the recourse to any FTP software futile. Our (hierrofuerte.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers supplied by 'Ajnoj' don't appear to be very cheap (still the Hepsia web space hosting Control Panel and the unlimited hosted domain name allowance will undoubtedly make you smile), beginning from $40.00 for the Atom 2c package.
