Dedicated Servers

What is a dedicated server?  A few definitions:

From Wikipedia: 

A dedicated hosting service, dedicated server, or managed hosting service is a type of internet hosting where the client leases an entire server not shared with anyone. This is more flexible than shared hosting, as organizations have full control over the server(s), including choice of operating system, hardware, etc. Server administration can usually be provided by the hosting company as an add-on service. In some cases a dedicated server can offer less overhead and a larger return on investment. Dedicated servers are most often housed in data centers, similar to colocation facilities, providing redundant power sources and HVAC systems. In contrast to colocation, a dedicated hosting service provides system administration and owns the server itself.

AN Hosting was created in early 2001 by a two man team and expanded at an
amazing rate. In 2005 it was acquired by midPhase and jointly they now host over
150,000 domain names on a modern network comprised of over 1,000 servers.



AN Hosting has followed the trend of many modern hosting providers by only
offering one standard plan to all its users. This does present many advantages
like better customer support and superior client satisfaction seeing as the
hosting provider specializes in only one unique product instead of a wide range
of services. Needless to say that any customer requiring a more tailor made
solution will have to look elsewhere.



Currently the hosting plan offers a robust 500gb disk space, 5000gb of bandwidth
and the possibility to host an amazing 40 domains. Setup is currently free but
this can be expected from most hosting providers nowadays. Other specs include
unlimited e-mail accounts, MySQL databases and sub domains. All hosting accounts
come equipped with the Fantastico manager which permits for one click install of
various popular scripts like Wordpress, Mambo, OScommerce, Sub Dreamer and
b2evolution just to name a few.



Prices vary considerably depending on the payment plan preferred. When paying
for six months the price will be $8.95mo whilst when opting for the 48 moth plan
the price is reduced to only $4.95mo. This is great for customers looking for
long term solutions but the same cannot be said for whoever can�t afford the
$237.60 needed for the upfront payment. Please keep in mind that when ordering
the six month payment plan there is an extra $21.90 fee for the domain, with all
the other options this is totally free.



The site is extremely easy to navigate which is a breath of fresh air when
compared to other hosting companies that chose fill their sites with useless
clutter and promotional offers that only confuse the customers. With AN Hosting
purchasing a hosting plan is simple and an extremely straight forward experience
with no distractions along the way. Furthermore their customer support is
exemplary and receiving a reply to any inquiry generally only takes a few
minutes.



When it comes to payment options presented AN Hosting does require some
improvements. They only accepted form of payment consists of major credit cards
which represents a significant drawback especially for those that do not have
one of the credit cards required. Most hosting providers offer other options
including Paypal payments which has become the industry standard. In our opinion
this is a very negative feature that should be rectified especially if AN
Hosting wishes to cater for international customers.



anhosting.com is an excellent solution for customers that have some previous
hosting experience and are in the market for a stable, long term solution. On
the other hand, people requiring cheap hosting with the option of monthly
payments will have to look someplace else. Either than that AN Hosting is a
trusted hosting provider with many years of experience and an impeccable track
record.
