An evaluation of Maraya Media

We, at 3skpartsauto.com, have picked 'Maraya Media' to be our current domain and web hosting supplier. Therefore we anticipate that this succinct assessment of 'Maraya Media' is perhaps going to be very helpful for other people from all over the World who seek domain name and web hosting solutions. We say folks from all around the Globe, because the simple truth is that 'Maraya Media' currently supplies domain and hosting services in numerous datacenter locations: in the USA (Chicago, IL), in Great Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, encompassing almost the whole World. At least as far as the World Wide Web is concerned. So, here is what you could expect from 'Maraya Media' in a nutshell:

Shared Website Hosting Plans

The initial detail we, at 3skpartsauto.com, have observed is the budget prices of the shared hosting solutions offered by 'Maraya Media'. 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 site hosting packages supplied by 'Maraya Media' are driven by a custom built, innovative cloud web hosting platform (each hosting service, such as email, databases, website hosting CP, disk space, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being handled by an individual group of web servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance EVERY cPanel web hosting firm on the Earth will have mammoth troubles with, because cPanel is a single server based site hosting platform (each hosting service, like mail, databases, web hosting Control Panel, disk space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being served by one and the same web hosting server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel-based website hosting firms cannot include new functionality and handle it the way they want it) and there is no open source file platform (they need to create their own file system), which is the prerequisite of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared hosting plans, which are driven by an authentic cloud site hosting system. With a shared plan, each client pays solely for his/her package, thus maintaining the web site hosting price very low (since lots of customers utilize one and the same hosting server). In a few words, a shared hosting account, which is hosted on a cloud website hosting solution, enables you to pay just for the resources that you indeed require, evading a situation where you pay for an advanced web hosting package that you cannot actually use, or for a small web page hosting account that cannot shelter your web page. The option to upgrade your account from one package to another with just two clicks gives you the flexibility to start with a basic package and upgrade as your website grows. Thus, you save cash that you can spend on publicizing the website while it is still brand new. Each and every web space hosting plan provided by 'Maraya Media' boasts an online site building tool and over 40 widely used script software platforms among them WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you hundreds of dollars for web design services. 'Maraya Media' offers shared web page hosting accounts in several different regions around the Globe. There is one server farm facility in Chicago covering the USA and Canada; 2 European datacenters - in Great Britain and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia-Pacific. Thus, almost the entire Globe is covered to provide you and your site's visitors with a steady and reliable webspace hosting service at a preferred place. As a whole, the shared hosting solutions offered 'Maraya Media' are really well furnished and are available at a very modest price (beginning from $6.25 for the Starter package).

Semi-dedicated Hosting Servers

To people with little to no practice, a virtual web hosting server may appear hard to manage. That's probably why 'Maraya Media' also stores semi-dedicated web hosting servers in its main North American data center in Chicago. Administering these plans is comparable to managing a typical shared plan via a Control Panel GUI. They have all the specs of a shared webspace hosting plan such as a free-of-charge web site builder and a script installation tool, but the amount of system resources offered by a semi-dedicated server package is many times larger than that of a shared webspace hosting package. For example, the central processing unit power that can be used is approximately 5 times as much as compared with the shared plans. When contrasted with a shared web page hosting plan, the quota of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is great: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted top-level domain name allowance is a rule as well. The semi-dedicated server hosting packages do not come with complete server root access (we, at 3skpartsauto.com, think that this is a little drawback), but the good point is that they are administered via the same webspace hosting CP user interface as the shared webspace hosting plans. This means that a familiar graphical environment is offered to all users who are not self-confident enough to handle a VPS server, yet require more power and resources than a private virtual hosting server can bestow on them. This is so owing to the fact that the semi-dedicated servers share the system resources of the same powerful leading edge web servers as the ones which host the private virtual web server hosting accounts, still, the number of the semi-dedicated web hosting servers is quite low (somewhere between 20 to thirty per physical machine), while the VPS web hosting servers can reach a much higher number (80 to one hundred and twenty per physical machine). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers provided by 'Maraya Media' can be labeled as being very cheap (as far as cost is concerned), commencing from $20.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 plan.

Dedicated Servers

In 3skpartsauto.com's opinion, big web pages such as social networks, community and business portals or popular web shops with 1000s of customers request a much more powerful webspace hosting platform. It seems that the fellows from 'Maraya Media' have come to the same conclusion too. To satisfy its users' demands, 'Maraya Media' supplies a collection of dedicated hosting servers that can cope with millions of daily visits. That estimation rests on the hardware configurations the web servers boast: multi-core processors, up to 4 GB of RAM, 2000 gigabytes of disk storage and Gigabit network interface cards will definitely guarantee the quick and steady work of any kind of site. In 'Maraya Media's opinion, the original hardware specs can be upgraded for more resource-demanding websites. We, from 3skpartsauto.com, think that all dedicated server packages offered by 'Maraya Media' are also suitable for launching a hosting reseller business as each and every dedicated hosting server ships with free-of-charge invoice transaction software and a free domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated web servers offered by 'Maraya Media' are all unmanaged. We, at 3skpartsauto.com, regard this as a small weak point, which can be amended by paying a monthly fee of $32.00 USD. So, if you require support, the Managed Services upgrade provides several extra services such as a regular backup, software installation, hosting server surveillance and troubleshooting operations. A selection of web hosting Control Panel (CP) GUIs are offered with each of the dedicated web hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (3skpartsauto.com's) prediction is that the exceptional drag and drop File Manager included in the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel will possibly render the utilization of any FTP client futile. Our (3skpartsauto.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers furnished by 'Maraya Media' don't appear to be very modestly priced (still the Hepsia web page hosting Control Panel and the unlimited hosted domain name quotas will no doubt make you smile), commencing from $90.00 for the Xeon E3 v5 package.
