A survey of MTBN.NET

We, at geek.rentals, have selected 'MTBN.NET' to be our current domain and hosting provider. Therefore we imagine that this concise assessment of 'MTBN.NET' is probably going to be very useful for other people from all over the World who seek domain name and web hosting services. We say individuals from all over the World, since the simple fact is that 'MTBN.NET' currently furnishes domain and hosting services in numerous server farm sites: in the US (Chicago, IL), in Great Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, covering almost the entire World. At least from the point of view of the World Wide Web. So, here is what you could expect from 'MTBN.NET' in a nutshell:

Shared Webspace Hosting Solutions

The initial detail we, at geek.rentals, have spotted is the low-cost prices of the shared website hosting packages delivered by 'MTBN.NET'. 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 webspace hosting packages supplied by 'MTBN.NET' are powered by a custom designed, futuristic cloud web hosting platform (each web hosting service, such as email, databases, web space hosting CP, data storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, runs on a different group of web hosting servers in a cluster). This is something ANY cPanel web hosting supplier on the Earth will have immense complications with, because cPanel is a one-server based web page hosting platform (each hosting service, such as mail, databases, hosting CP, web space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being tackled by one single server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel web hosting companies cannot include new functionality and handle it the way they want it) and there is no open source file platform (they have to concoct their own file platform), which is the precondition of any cloud web hosting service. Let's get back to the shared hosting plans, which are driven by an authentic cloud webspace hosting system. With a shared web page hosting package, each client pays solely for his/her account, thus preserving the site hosting price very low (because multiple users are hosted on one and the same hosting server). In a nutshell, a shared hosting plan, which runs on a clustered web site hosting system, permits you to pay just for the resources that you really demand, escaping a scenario where you pay for a powerful web space hosting plan that you cannot really use, or for a low-end site hosting plan that cannot accommodate your site. The option to upgrade your account from one plan to another with only two clicks of the mouse gives you the flexibility to start with a basic package and upgrade as your web site grows. So, you save money that you can expend on publicizing the website while it is still new. Each web site hosting package offered by 'MTBN.NET' ships with an online web site building tool and over forty widely used script-driven software applications among them WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you 100s of dollars for web page design services. 'MTBN.NET' provides shared webspace hosting services in several different geographical regions across the Globe. There is one server farm in Chicago covering the US and Canada; two European server farms - in the UK and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia-Pacific region. That way, practically the whole Earth is covered to present you and your visitors with a stable and fast web hosting service at a convenient location. As a whole, the shared hosting accounts supplied 'MTBN.NET' are quite well appointed and are available at a very good price (starting from $3.83 for the Simple package).

Semi-dedicated Servers

To users with little to no practice, a VPS web server may seem difficult to manage. That's probably why 'MTBN.NET' also keeps semi-dedicated web servers in its main American data center facility in Chicago. Administering these accounts is comparable to managing a regular shared webspace hosting plan via a webspace hosting CP tool. They have all the functionalities of a shared webspace hosting account such as a fee-free website building tool and a script installation tool, but the system resource quota provided by a semi-dedicated server web hosting package is many times greater than that of a shared account. For example, the CPU power that can be used is almost FIVE times as much as compared with the shared website hosting packages. When compared with a shared site hosting package, the number of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is big: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted top-level domain name quota is a pattern too. The semi-dedicated server web hosting plans do not ship with full server root access (we, at geek.rentals, deem this a slight negative point), but the good point is that they are administered via the same CP GUI as the shared site hosting packages. This implies that a recognizable GUI is offered to all clients who do not have enough confidence to manage a virtual private web hosting server, but at the same time are in need of more power and system resources than a private virtual web hosting server can furnish them with. This is so because the semi-dedicated servers share the reserves of the very same powerful high-end web servers as the ones which accommodate the virtual server hosting plans, still, the number of the semi-dedicated hosting servers is very low (somewhere between 20 to thirty per physical machine), while the VPS servers can reach a much greater number (eighty to one hundred and twenty per physical machine). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers offered by 'MTBN.NET' can be labeled as being very inexpensive (as far as cost is concerned), starting from $20.00 for the Tall plan.

Dedicated Servers

In geek.rentals's opinion, enormous sites such as social networks, community and business web portals or famous online stores with 1000s of clients demand a much more powerful web hosting platform. It seems that the fellows from 'MTBN.NET' have arrived at the same conclusion too. To meet its users' demands, 'MTBN.NET' provides an assortment of dedicated web hosting servers that can handle millions of daily visits. That estimate stands on the hardware configurations the servers are offering: multi-core processors, up to four GB of RAM, 2000 gigabytes of disk storage and Gigabit network cards will no doubt ensure the quick and steady performance of any type of web site. According to 'MTBN.NET', the primary hardware specifications can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding sites. We, from geek.rentals, deem that all dedicated server packages delivered by 'MTBN.NET' are also suitable for starting a hosting reseller business as each and every hosting server includes free-of-cost invoicing transaction software and a charge-free domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated web servers delivered by 'MTBN.NET' are all unmanaged. We, at geek.rentals, deem this a small minus, which can be amended by paying a monthly fee which amounts to $32.00 USD. So, if you require help, the Managed Services upgrade includes a number of additional services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated server surveillance and troubleshooting procedures. An assortment of site hosting Control Panel (CP) interfaces are offered with each of the web hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (geek.rentals's) prognosis is that the great drag and drop File Manager available in the Hepsia webspace hosting Control Panel will probably render the recourse to any File Transfer Protocol software program useless. Our (geek.rentals's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers furnished by 'MTBN.NET' don't seem to be very modestly priced (still the Hepsia web page hosting CP and the unmetered hosted domain name quotas will beyond doubt make you smile), beginning from $80.00 for the Xeon E3 v5 plan.
