A review of Speedy Mice

We, at circlesjourney.com, have picked 'Speedy Mice' to be our present domain name and web hosting vendor. Hence we think that this concise assessment of 'Speedy Mice' is probably going to be quite helpful for other individuals from all over the World who seek domain name and web hosting services. We state folks from all around the Globe, because the simple fact is that 'Speedy Mice' currently provides domain and hosting services in several server farm facility locations: in the United States of America (Chicago, IL), in the United Kingdom (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, encompassing nearly the whole Earth. At least from the point of view of the Internet. So, here is what you could expect from 'Speedy Mice' in short:

Shared Website Hosting Services

The initial detail we, at circlesjourney.com, have discerned is the cut-rate prices of the shared web hosting services supplied by 'Speedy Mice'. 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 web space hosting plans provided by 'Speedy Mice' are powered by a custom created, state-of-the-art cloud web hosting solution (each web hosting service, like email, databases, website hosting CP, data storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being served by an independent stack of web servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting vendor in the World will have great problems with, because cPanel is a one single server based web page hosting platform (each web hosting service, like email, databases, Control Panel, disk space, DNS, stats, etc., is being tackled by one and the same web server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel hosting suppliers are not able to include extra functionality and handle it the way they want it) and there is no open source file platform (they need to set up their own file platform), which is at the bottom of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared website hosting plans, which are powered by a real cloud site hosting system. With a shared web space hosting account, each customer pays only for his/her plan, thus retaining the webspace hosting price very low (because plenty of users utilize the same web server). In a nutshell, a shared hosting account, which runs on a cloud web space hosting platform, allows you to pay just for the reserves that you really need, refraining from a scenario where you pay for a high-end web page hosting account that you cannot really use, or for a small web site hosting account that cannot host your web site. The option to upgrade your account from one package to another with just two mouse clicks gives you the flexibility to start with a small package and upgrade as your web presence grows. That way, you economize capital that you can invest in advertising the web page while it is still brand new. Every web site hosting plan offered by 'Speedy Mice' ships with an online website building tool and more than 40 widely used script software applications among them WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you 100s of dollars for web site design solutions. 'Speedy Mice' delivers shared web hosting solutions in several different countries across the World. There is one data center in Chicago covering the United States of America and Canada; two European server farm facilities - in the United Kingdom and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia-Pacific. In this way, approximately the whole planet is encompassed to present you and your web site's visitors with a stable and reliable web page hosting solution at a desired place. Altogether, the shared hosting packages provided 'Speedy Mice' are quite well appointed and are available at an attractive price (beginning from $5.00 for the Basic plan).

Dedicated Web Servers

In circlesjourney.com's opinion, big web sites such as social networks, community and business portals or famous online shops with 1000s of clients request a much more powerful web page hosting environment. It seems that the guys from 'Speedy Mice' have reached the same conclusion too. To meet its clients' anticipations, 'Speedy Mice' provides a bouquet of dedicated servers that can cope with millions of daily visits. That estimation is based on the hardware specs the servers sport: multi-core processors, up to 4 gigabytes of RAM, 2000 gigabytes of web space and Gigabit network interface cards will definitely ensure the quick and stable work of any type of website. According to 'Speedy Mice', the original hardware configurations can be upgraded for more system resource-requiring sites. We, from circlesjourney.com, believe that all dedicated server specifications furnished by 'Speedy Mice' are also suitable for setting up a hosting reseller business as every web server offers free-of-charge billing software and a charge-free domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated hosting servers supplied by 'Speedy Mice' are all unmanaged. We, at circlesjourney.com, consider this a tiny weak point, which can be amended by paying a monthly tax of $32.00 USD. So, if you are in need of aid, the Managed Services upgrade offers a few extra services such as a routine backup, software installation, web hosting server surveillance and troubleshooting operations. A number of website hosting Control Panel (CP) GUIs are offered with each of the web servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (circlesjourney.com's) prediction is that the splendid point-and-click File Manager available in the Hepsia site hosting Control Panel will probably render the use of any FTP client futile. Our (circlesjourney.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers furnished by 'Speedy Mice' don't appear to be very low priced (yet the Hepsia webspace hosting Control Panel and the unlimited hosted domain allowance will no doubt make you smile), beginning from $145.00 for the Xeon Scalable 8c package.
