Faster Webhosting. The Proof.
Why pick slow when you can pick fast?
Our webhosting is faster because we put in the extra effort and investment to make it faster. We know that there are two basic things that make websites load faster: 1) faster hardware and 2) faster software. To put it simply our web hosting is faster and we can prove it.
Faster Webhosting Hardware
- 48 Gigs of RAM
- Dual Quad Core CPU's (8 CPU Cores)
- Solid State Drives (100x faster)
Faster Webhosting Software
- Litespeed vs Apache
- Up to 9x faster websites
- 50% faster PHP execution!
1. Faster Hardware
In the world of webhosting, faster hardware means faster webhosting, and we maintain some of the highest standards around for high performance webhosting. Not only do we keep all our servers current with a two year rotation on our servers (we don't need to tell you how much faster CPU's are today than they were 2 or 3 years ago!), we also pack them with the fastest components we can find.
Faster Hard Drives = Faster Webhosting
Hard drive access is the slowest part of any computer and so we make our servers faster by using Solid State Drives (SSD) whereas most webhosting providers use SATA technology drives. Unlike traditional hard drives that have spinning platters, motors and pivoting arms like a record player, solid state drives are state of the art technology in an entirely different class with no moving parts. Even compared to the highest performance commercial grade SAS drives, an SSD is faster by a remarkable margin.
Figure A. IOPS Comparison: SSD vs Traditional 15k RPM SAS drive
* The SSD is 100x faster! IOPS is a measurement of the number of operations a hard drive can perform each second. This metric has the greatest impact on website hosting.
Figure B. Read/Write Comparison: SSD vs Traditional 15k RPM SAS drive
* The SSD easily doubles the speed of the SAS drive. Read/Write is a measurement of how much data a hard drive can push to the system.
2. Faster Software
Our engineers are so obsessed with performance that they even hunt down the fastest software possible to drive our servers! Take the popular Apache web server software for example; Apache is used for nearly 60% of web servers around the globe (other popular webservers are IIS, nginx, etc.) and powers the biggest most complex sites on the planet. We used to use Apache.
LIteSpeed is Faster than Apache
In our relentless pursuit of faster webhosting we found - you guessed it - a faster replacement for Apache that is drop in compatible. What does this mean to you? Nothing. Nothing that is except faster webhosting!.
In modern website technology serving up websites is a function of rendering HTML and serving up images and for websites running a content management system (most) it is also a function of reading/writing to a database and processing code (like PHP). With our combination of Litespeed and SSD based server hardware, your sites will be faster than the competition.
Figure C. Image Serving Comparison: Litespeed vs Apache
* Litespeed is almost 60% faster than Apache at serving up static images
Figure D. PHP Comparison: Litespeed vs Apache
* Litespeed is almost twice as fast as Apache at processing PHP requests.
