Peanut Host Introduction
Peanut Host offers hosting services in the US, UK, and Australia. They offer shared, VPS, and dedicated hosting with a commitment to providing high-performance, user-centric services.
Services and Specializations
Peanut Host offers four shared hosting packages. From their main page, their two top packages look identical – so you need to dig around a little on their website until you find the full comparison chart. All of their plans include the Hepsia control panel, unlimited storage and data transfer, a 1-click script installer, anti-virus and anti-spam protection, a free website builder with over 800 themes, free VPN access, and MySQL database storage. Their upper-level packages also include unlimited domain hosting and email accounts. Their top plan adds a dedicated IP address and SSH support.
In addition to their traditional shared plans, they also offer application-specific hosting solutions for WordPress, PrestaShop, OpenCart, Joomla, Drupal, and Moodle.
Peanut Host offers both Virtuozzo and OpenVZ VPS Packages. With Virtuozzo plans, you are assigned a maximum percentage of the shared CPU that your server can use; whereas with OpenVZ plans you are assigned a dedicated CPU. All VPS plans include unlimited domains, emails, databases and FTP access; root access; and your choice of CentosOS, Debian, or Ubuntu. There are three levels of Virtuozzo hosting, based on the amounts of storage, bandwidth, and RAM required. Their 10 OpenVZ plans allow you to select a highly customized machine and choose between unmanaged or managed hosting.
For dedicated servers, they offer three configurations, which vary based on the CPU, number of cores, RAM, bandwidth, and storage space. All plans include SATA2 hard drives and root access.
They also offer semi-dedicated servers, which include unlimited storage and bandwidth, but a maximum limit is placed on the percentage of a shared CPU your server can utilize.
