An evaluation of Terapulse

We, at gastrosimulator.com, have chosen 'Terapulse' to be our present domain and web hosting provider. This is why we expect that this short evaluation of 'Terapulse' is perchance going to be very helpful for other individuals from all around the Globe who seek domain name and web hosting services. We say people from all over the Globe, since the simple truth is that 'Terapulse' currently provides domain and hosting services in multiple server farm facility sites: in the United States (Chicago, IL), in the UK (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, encompassing nearly the whole planet. At least from the point of view of the Internet. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Terapulse' in a few words:

Shared Hosting Services

The first detail we, at gastrosimulator.com, have spotted is the modest prices of the shared hosting packages delivered by 'Terapulse'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared web hosting. The good thing here is that the website hosting plans provided by 'Terapulse' are driven by a custom created, state-of-the-art cloud web hosting solution (each hosting service, such as email, databases, web hosting CP, storage space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being tackled by a separate bunch of servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance EVERY cPanel web hosting vendor on the Earth will have big troubles with, since cPanel is a single server based hosting environment (each web hosting service, such as mail, databases, site hosting Control Panel, storage space, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being served by one and the same hosting server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel web hosting vendors are unable to add additional functionality and handle it the way they need it) and there is no open source file platform (they have to build their own file platform), which is the basis of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared website hosting packages, which are driven by a genuine clustered web site hosting platform. With a shared web hosting plan, each client pays only for his/her account, thus preserving the web site hosting price very low (since multiple users use the same web hosting server). In short, a shared hosting package, which is hosted on a cloud web page hosting platform, allows you to pay just for the reserves that you indeed require, precluding a scenario where you pay for a high-end webspace hosting plan that you cannot actually utilize, or for a tiny web page hosting account that cannot accommodate your site. The option to upgrade your account from one package to another with only 2 mouse clicks grants you the flexibility to kick off with a low-end package and upgrade as your web site expands. In this way, you save money that you can expend on promoting the web page while it is still new. Every web page hosting package furnished by 'Terapulse' includes an online site building tool and more than forty popular script-driven platforms such as WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you 100s of dollars for web design solutions. 'Terapulse' furnishes shared webspace hosting solutions in several different regions across the Globe. There is one data center in Chicago encompassing the United States and Canada; 2 European server farms - in Great Britain and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia Pacific region. That way, almost the whole planet is covered to present you and your web page's visitors with a steady and reliable web site hosting solution at a desired location. As a whole, the shared hosting accounts supplied 'Terapulse' are very well stocked and come at a very attractive price (beginning from $6.08 for the Starter plan).

Semi-dedicated Hosting Servers

To clients with little or no practice, a VPS web hosting server may seem tough to manage. That's perhaps why 'Terapulse' also stores semi-dedicated servers in its principal American server farm facility in Chicago. Handling these accounts is comparable to managing a regular shared web page hosting account through a website hosting Control Panel GUI. They have all the features of a shared site hosting account such as a free web site builder and a PHP script installation tool, but the amount of system resources provided by a semi-dedicated hosting server account is many times larger than that of a shared web site hosting account. For example, the central processing unit power that can be used is almost FIVE times as much as compared with the shared website hosting plans. When compared with a shared hosting package, the quota of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is enormous: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted TLD quota is a principle as well. The semi-dedicated web hosting server accounts do not offer server root access (we, at gastrosimulator.com, think of this as a slight downside), but the benefit is that they are managed via the very same web site hosting Control Panel tool as the shared webspace hosting packages. This hints that a familiar graphical user interface is accessible by all customers who do not have enough confidence to handle a virtual hosting server, but at the same time require more power and features than a virtual server can bestow on them. This is so because of the fact that the semi-dedicated hosting servers share the reserves of the same powerful avant-garde hosting servers as the ones which accommodate the private virtual server web hosting accounts, however, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is very small (somewhere between 20 to thirty per server), while the virtual web hosting servers can reach a much bigger number (80 to 120 per physical server). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers offered by 'Terapulse' can be classified as being very cheap (as far as cost is concerned), beginning from $20.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 package.

Dedicated Servers

In gastrosimulator.com's opinion, huge sites such as social networks, community and corporate portals or popular online stores with 1000s of clients require a much more powerful website hosting environment. It seems that the chaps from 'Terapulse' have reached the same conclusion too. To live up to its customers' needs, 'Terapulse' provides a number of dedicated web servers that can manage millions of daily visits. That evaluation is based on the hardware configurations the servers are offering: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to 4 gigabytes of RAM, 2000 GB of disk storage and Gigabit network interface cards will undoubtedly guarantee the fast and stable performance of any sort of web site. According to 'Terapulse', the primary hardware specs can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding websites. We, from gastrosimulator.com, deem that all dedicated server solutions delivered by 'Terapulse' are also appropriate for beginning a hosting reseller business as every server arrives with free-of-charge billing transaction software platform and a charge-free domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated servers offered by 'Terapulse' are all unmanaged. We, at gastrosimulator.com, think of this as a tiny drawback, which can be corrected by paying a monthly fee of $32.00 USD. So, if you require help, the Managed Services upgrade offers various extra services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. A number of Control Panel (CP) GUIs are offered with each of the hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (gastrosimulator.com's) forecast is that the great point and click File Manager available in the Hepsia webspace hosting Control Panel will perhaps render the recourse to any FTP software pointless. Our (gastrosimulator.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers offered by 'Terapulse' don't appear to be very modestly priced (yet the Hepsia webspace hosting CP and the unlimited hosted domain quotas will doubtlessly make you smile), commencing from $80.00 for the Xeon E3 v5 package.
