Unmatched Speed and Performance
Our data centers are located on IXPs which create a virtual shortcut between your site and your visitors. Global communication partners allow your site to jump across networks, reaching your visitors faster. Dual high performance fiber optics link directly from the ISP to your server, which creates an instantaneous connection. All-SSD servers are 20X faster than the traditional HDDs many of our competitors still use. Triple-tier server-level caching “pre-loads” your files to avoid disk reads, making your site load faster. Max Speed Zones give you ultimate choice in site speed. All of these technical enhancements really do one single thing – make your websites load as fast as possible.
Rock Solid Defense
We take security very seriously. This is why you see our network, and your site, stay online when so many competitors go down. We utilize internal scripts and APIs to change the network routing dynamically. We’ve partnered with Corero, so you’re protected from DDOS attacks. And custom firewalls, suPHP, CageFS, and a shared SSL certificate add layer upon layer of safety and security to your account and sites.
Just wanted to rave about Patrick who helped me out today. I’ve spoken with lots of other web hosts, HostGator, BlueHost, DreamHost, etc… No one was as competent as he was. In a timely and friendly manner, he was able to answer all my questions and help me assess the best hosting package for my needs. I am exceptionally pleased and will be going with your hosting company because of his great expertise. Just saying, that’s how you do Customer Service and Sales right!”
