UnicHost web hosting services provide the necessary technology to help users keep their websites and servers fully operational 24 hours a day. Its hosting facilities are in data centers distributed across the globe, including the United States, India, and the United Kingdom.
The hosting company utilizes InterNAP’s powered bandwidth for eight of its Tier I internet backbones. By using InterNAP’s Flow Control Platform (FCP), it is able to guarantee solid network performance to support its infrastructure for high reliability.
UnicHost uses Intel’s Quad-Core Xeon servers with a capacity of 32GB RAM and RIAD-protected 10K rpm HDDs. And the higher the RPM, the faster the speed of your hard drive. However, while these HDD hard drives have been around for quite some time, with the rise of cheaper and faster SSDs, the hosting provider should consider switching its storage system to match its competitor’s standards.
At all account levels, UnicHost hosting services come with phpMyAdmin access that is available through cPanel control panel. This enables users to easily manage their databases, tables, and user permissions as well as passwords directly from their phpMyAdmin.
All the same, UnicHost does not perform backup services for its customer’s websites and it is the responsibility of users to create and restore their own backup copies.
