A survey of Canyon Computer

We, at aviationsafari.com, have chosen 'Canyon Computer' to be our present domain and web hosting supplier. This is why we suppose that this short evaluation of 'Canyon Computer' is maybe going to be very useful for other folks from all over the World in search for domain name and web hosting solutions. We say individuals from all around the World, since the mere fact is that 'Canyon Computer' presently furnishes domain and hosting services in several server farm sites: in America (Chicago, IL), in England (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, covering approximately the entire planet. At least from the point of view of the World Wide Web. So, here is what you could expect from 'Canyon Computer' in a nutshell:

Shared Web Site Hosting Services

The initial detail we, at aviationsafari.com, have noted is the affordable prices of the shared web space hosting accounts furnished by 'Canyon Computer'. 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 page hosting accounts furnished by 'Canyon Computer' are powered by an in-house built, avant-garde cloud web hosting platform (each web hosting service, like electronic mail, databases, website hosting Control Panel, disk storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being served by a different stack of hosting servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting provider in the World will have considerable difficulties with, since cPanel is a one single server based site hosting environment (each hosting service, like email, databases, web hosting Control Panel, disk storage, DNS, statistics, etc., is being dealt with by a single web server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel web page hosting providers cannot include new functionality and manipulate it the way they want it) and there is no open source file platform (they need to devise their own file system), which is the basis of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared web site hosting packages, which are driven by a real clustered webspace hosting system. With a shared site hosting account, each client pays only for his/her plan, thus maintaining the web hosting price very low (because lots of clients use the same web server). In brief, a shared hosting account, which is being served by a cloud web space hosting platform, allows you to pay solely for the resources that you really need, evading a situation where you pay for a high-end web hosting account that you cannot really use, or for a tiny website hosting package that cannot handle your web page. The option to upgrade your account from one plan to another with just 2 mouse clicks grants you the flexibility to begin with a basic package and upgrade as your web site grows. In this way, you spare funds that you can invest in publicizing the website while it is still brand new. Each website hosting account offered by 'Canyon Computer' comprises an online site building tool and over 40 widely used script software platforms including WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you 100s of dollars for web design solutions. 'Canyon Computer' supplies shared site hosting solutions in a number of different geographical regions around the World. There is one server farm in Chicago covering the United States and Canada; 2 European datacenters - in the UK and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia Pacific region. That way, almost the entire planet is encompassed to present you and your web site's visitors with a steady and reliable web space hosting service at a nearby location. On the whole, the shared hosting plans provided 'Canyon Computer' are very well appointed and are available at a very affordable price (starting from $6.12 for the Business plan).

Dedicated Web Servers

In aviationsafari.com's opinion, large sites such as social networks, community and corporate web portals or famous web shops with thousands of clients request a much more powerful web page hosting platform. It appears that the folks from 'Canyon Computer' have drawn the same conclusion too. To meet its customers' requirements, 'Canyon Computer' supplies a selection of dedicated web hosting servers that can cope with millions of daily hits. That estimation stands on the hardware configurations the servers boast: multi-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, two thousand GB of data storage and Gigabit network cards will doubtlessly guarantee the quick and steady work of any type of website. In 'Canyon Computer's opinion, the original hardware configurations can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding web sites. We, from aviationsafari.com, think that all dedicated server accounts provided by 'Canyon Computer' are also suitable for launching a hosting reseller business as each and every dedicated server comes with free invoicing transaction software and a charge-free domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated web hosting servers offered by 'Canyon Computer' are all unmanaged. We, at aviationsafari.com, consider this a little weakness, which can be amended by paying a monthly fee which amounts to $32.00 USD. So, if you are in need of support, the Managed Services upgrade includes a bunch of supplementary services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated web hosting server monitoring and troubleshooting operations. A number of web page hosting CP (CP) user interfaces are available with each of the dedicated web servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (aviationsafari.com's) prediction is that the great drag-and-drop File Manager available in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel will perhaps make the use of any File Transfer Protocol software useless. Our (aviationsafari.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers offered by 'Canyon Computer' don't appear to be very affordably priced (still the Hepsia webspace hosting CP and the unlimited hosted domain name quotas will no doubt make you smile), commencing from $143.00 for the Xeon Scalable 8c plan.
