An evaluation of OmniSence Digital

We, at gsnorth.com, have selected 'OmniSence Digital' to be our current domain and hosting vendor. Hence we imagine that this concise assessment of 'OmniSence Digital' is perhaps going to be quite useful for other people from all around the Globe in need of domain name and web hosting solutions. We say individuals from all around the Globe, because the simple truth is that 'OmniSence Digital' currently distributes domain and hosting services in multiple data center locations: in the United States of America (Chicago, IL), in Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, covering nearly the entire planet. At least as far as the World Wide Web is concerned. So, here is what you could expect from 'OmniSence Digital' in a few words:

Shared Site Hosting Accounts

The initial thing we, at gsnorth.com, have spotted is the cheap prices of the shared webspace hosting solutions offered by 'OmniSence Digital'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared hosting. The good thing here is that the site hosting plans offered by 'OmniSence Digital' are driven by an in-house created, state-of-the-art cloud web hosting platform (each web hosting service, like mail, databases, web site hosting Control Panel, disk storage, DNS, stats, and so on, is being tackled by an autonomous stack of hosting servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance EVERY cPanel web hosting distributor on the Globe will have great troubles with, because cPanel is a one single server based web hosting platform (each hosting service, such as mail, databases, web space hosting CP, data storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being tackled by one single web server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel-based web page hosting firms are unable to include new functionality and manipulate it the way they want it) and there is no open source file platform (they need to build their own file platform), which is at the bottom of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared web hosting plans, which are powered by a real clustered web space hosting platform. With a shared web page hosting account, each customer pays only for his/her account, thus keeping the web hosting price amazingly low (since numerous users share the same web hosting server). In brief, a shared hosting package, which is being served by a cloud web page hosting platform, permits you to pay just for the resources that you indeed demand, precluding a situation where you pay for an advanced site hosting account that you cannot actually utilize, or for a basic website hosting package that cannot shelter your website. The option to upgrade your account from one plan to another with just 2 clicks grants you the flexibility to commence with a small package and upgrade as your web presence grows. In this way, you spare money that you can expend on publicizing the site while it is still new. Each web page hosting package delivered by 'OmniSence Digital' comes with an online web site building tool and over 40 popular script platforms like WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you 100s of dollars for site design solutions. 'OmniSence Digital' supplies shared web site hosting solutions in several different countries across the Globe. There is one datacenter in Chicago encompassing the USA and Canada; two European datacenters - in the UK and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia Pacific region. In this way, almost the entire planet is covered to provide you and your visitors with a steady and dependable web page hosting service at a nearby location. As a whole, the shared hosting solutions furnished 'OmniSence Digital' are very well furnished and are available at a very low price (beginning from $17.08 for the Corporate package).

Semi-dedicated Web Hosting Servers

To users with little or no experience, a Virtual Private Server may seem hard to administer. That's perhaps why 'OmniSence Digital' also offers semi-dedicated servers in its main US datacenter in Chicago. Handling these plans is comparable to handling a normal shared web site hosting account via a web page hosting Control Panel GUI. They have all the features of a shared website hosting package such as a free site builder and a web application installer, but the system resource quota provided by a semi-dedicated server plan is many times larger than that of a shared web hosting account. For example, the central processing unit power that can be used is approximately 5 times as much as compared with the shared website hosting plans. When compared with a shared web site hosting plan, the number of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is huge: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted top-level domain name quota is a principle too. The semi-dedicated web server packages do not come with root privileges (we, at gsnorth.com, regard this as a tiny weak point), but the plus is that they are managed via the very same web page hosting Control Panel tool as the shared site hosting packages. This implies that a familiar GUI is accessible by all users who do not have enough confidence to handle a private virtual web server, yet need more power and system resources than a VPS can confer to them. This is so owing to the fact that the semi-dedicated servers share the system resources of the very same powerful first-class web hosting servers as the ones which accommodate the private virtual web server accounts, still, the number of the semi-dedicated servers is quite low (somewhere between 20 to 30 per physical server), while the virtual private web hosting servers can reach a much higher number (eighty to 120 per server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers furnished by 'OmniSence Digital' can be branded as being quite inexpensive (as far as price is concerned), commencing from $40.00 for the Semi Dedicated 1 package.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

In gsnorth.com's opinion, enormous web pages such as social networks, community and corporate web portals or popular online stores with 1000s of clients demand a much more powerful hosting solution. It appears that the guys from 'OmniSence Digital' have arrived at the same conclusion as well. To satisfy its customers' demands, 'OmniSence Digital' delivers a collection of dedicated web hosting servers that can handle millions of daily visits. That assessment stands on the hardware specifications the dedicated hosting servers boast: multi-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, 2000 GB of disk space and Gigabit NICs will no doubt ensure the quick and stable performance of any type of site. According to 'OmniSence Digital', the primary hardware configurations can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding websites. We, from gsnorth.com, deem that all dedicated server plans provided by 'OmniSence Digital' are also suitable for launching a hosting reseller business as every dedicated server arrives with free-of-charge billing transaction software and a cost-free domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated web hosting servers delivered by 'OmniSence Digital' are all unmanaged. We, at gsnorth.com, count this as a little negative point, which can be adjusted by paying a monthly tax of $32.00 USD. So, if you need support, the Managed Services upgrade offers various extra services such as a routine backup, software installation, web server monitoring and troubleshooting operations. A number of web page hosting Control Panel (CP) tools are available with each of the hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (gsnorth.com's) prognosis is that the outstanding point-and-click File Manager included in the Hepsia web site hosting Control Panel will probably make the use of any File Transfer Protocol client futile. Our (gsnorth.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers delivered by 'OmniSence Digital' don't appear to be very affordably priced (still the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and the unmetered hosted domain allowance will definitely make you smile), beginning from $90.00 for the Xeon E3 v5 plan.
