Designed for Performance

Bolt-Cache Our Powerful Caching Solution

Our ‘Bolt-Cache’ is the fastest way to serve your sites. It's a powerful caching solution based on NGINX, making our caching methods accessible at the click of a button.

Powerful Hardware

All of our hosting servers run the latest Supermicro or Dell blades, with a minimum of 128GB DDR4 RAM using the latest Intel Xeon processors.

Litespeed PHP

Apache mod_lsapi is a module based on LiteSpeed Technologies API for PHP. It offers excellent PHP performance, low memory footprint coupled with great security and support for opcode caching. Litespeed PHP has been reguarly benchmarked to be ‘faster than any other way to serve PHP.’

NGINX Reverse Proxy

NGINX (pronounced ‘Engine-X’) is a web server, similar to Apache however its design is entirely based on high-performance, high volume delivery. We use NGINX as a ‘reverse proxy’ in front of mod_lsapi, delivering outstanding site performance.

Configurable Performance

Whilst our ‘out of the box’ hosting is incredibly fast, you are also able to ‘fine tune’ your application backend by enabling pure NGINX with PHP-FPM which in many cases can give a fantastic boost to site load speeds. We have taken care of the complexities by introducing simple, easy to use ‘templates’ which are available through our ‘CloudNS’ plugin in cPanel.
