An evaluation of Ark and Dove Designs

We, at pecosvalleyquilters.org, have selected 'Ark and Dove Designs' to be our present domain name and web hosting distributor. Hence we presume that this brief evaluation of 'Ark and Dove Designs' is maybe going to be quite useful for other folks from all around the World in need of domain name and web hosting solutions. We state people from all around the Globe, because the mere truth is that 'Ark and Dove Designs' presently offers domain and hosting services in several data center facility locations: in the United States of America (Chicago, IL), in the UK (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, covering approximately the entire Globe. At least as far as the World Wide Web is concerned. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Ark and Dove Designs' in brief:

Shared Web Page Hosting Accounts

The first detail we, at pecosvalleyquilters.org, have seen is the modest prices of the shared site hosting solutions furnished by 'Ark and Dove Designs'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared web hosting. The good news here is that the web page hosting packages provided by 'Ark and Dove Designs' are driven by an in-house built, state-of-the-art cloud web hosting platform (each web hosting service, such as mail, databases, website hosting CP, data storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being handled by a separate set of servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance EVERY cPanel web hosting supplier in the World will have big troubles with, because cPanel is a single server based web hosting platform (each hosting service, such as mail, databases, webspace hosting Control Panel, disk storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being tackled by one single server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel-based hosting suppliers cannot include new functionality and manipulate it the way they need it) and there is no open source file system (they need to build their own file platform), which is the prerequisite of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared hosting plans, which are driven by a genuine cloud site hosting solution. With a shared webspace hosting package, each customer pays just for his/her plan, thus keeping the site hosting price very low (since lots of customers are hosted on the same hosting server). In brief, a shared hosting plan, which is being served by a cloud web space hosting system, enables you to pay only for the reserves that you indeed need, precluding a scenario where you pay for a feature-rich hosting plan that you cannot really use, or for a basic hosting package that cannot shelter your site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one plan to another with just 2 clicks grants you the flexibility to begin with a low-end plan and upgrade as your website expands. That way, you save money that you can spend on promoting the site while it is still novel. Every web hosting package offered by 'Ark and Dove Designs' includes an online website builder and over 40 popular script software platforms such as WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you 100s of dollars for web page design solutions. 'Ark and Dove Designs' provides shared site hosting solutions in several different geographical regions across the Globe. There is one server farm in Chicago covering the United States and Canada; two European data center facilities - in the UK and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia-Pacific. That way, approximately the whole World is covered to provide you and your web page's visitors with a steady and reliable web site hosting service at a nearby location. All in all, the shared hosting plans provided 'Ark and Dove Designs' are really well equipped and come at a very inexpensive price (beginning from $5.67 for the Business plan).

Dedicated Web Servers

According to pecosvalleyquilters.org, big web pages such as social networks, community and business portals or popular web storefronts with thousands of customers need a much more powerful website hosting platform. It seems that the chaps from 'Ark and Dove Designs' have come to the same conclusion too. To answer its users' expectations, 'Ark and Dove Designs' supplies a number of dedicated hosting servers that can cope with millions of daily visits. That assessment rests on the hardware specifications the hosting servers arrive with: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to 4 GB of RAM, 2000 gigabytes of storage space and Gigabit NICs will no doubt guarantee the quick and steady work of any type of site. In 'Ark and Dove Designs's opinion, the original hardware specifications can be upgraded for more system resource-requiring web sites. We, from pecosvalleyquilters.org, believe that all dedicated server configurations offered by 'Ark and Dove Designs' are also suitable for kickstarting a hosting reseller business as every web hosting server provides free invoicing software and a fee-free domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated servers offered by 'Ark and Dove Designs' are all unmanaged. We, at pecosvalleyquilters.org, consider this a minor downside, which can be rectified by paying a monthly tax of $32.00 USD. So, if you are in need of aid, the Managed Services upgrade offers a bouquet of additional services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated web server surveillance and troubleshooting procedures. A bunch of website hosting Control Panel (CP) user interfaces are offered with each of the hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (pecosvalleyquilters.org's) prediction is that the outstanding point and click File Manager included in the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel will perhaps make the recourse to any File Transfer Protocol software pointless. Our (pecosvalleyquilters.org's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers furnished by 'Ark and Dove Designs' don't seem to be very cheap (still the Hepsia web site hosting Control Panel and the unlimited hosted domain quotas will undoubtedly make you smile), commencing from $145.00 for the Xeon Scalable 8c plan.
