New Hosting Architecture in Beta Testing Phase

We've been working hard these past number of months at implementing a new and modern server architecture with a modern control panel that we are getting some amazing performance out of.  It's ideal for WordPress and the performance we have been seeing is pretty decent out of the box before any website side optimizations as well. 

Some features are listed below:

• Cloud based Central Control Panel login meaning there is no 'bloat' on your web servers handling tasks that the contol panel handles - one login also allows you to see all your websites.  You can use the panel to move sites seamlessly between servers and assuming they use the cluster name servers the DNS is auto updated.
• Easily switch betwen Apache (useful for development and troubleshooting) to NGINX to OpenLitespeed (open source version) to LiteSpeed (paid license) for really good caching and website performance.  Openlitespeed we've found some amazing performance boosts with
• Snapshot incremental backup system (for storage efficiency)  with multiple retention points with a GUI to take and restore manual backups with daily auto backups
• Develop customer websites on a staging domain and push to production with ease
• Quickly make a carbon copy of an existing website.
• PHP 5.6-8.2 supported (although obviously we discourage the use of end of life versions)
• Email handled on a separate server so no 'overhead' on your web server for SMTP/IMAP email sending
• Easy Disaster Recovery - If your server fails, Restore sites to another server within the system from the last available backup using the GUI.  Backups are stored in a completely different physical location for disaster recovery purposes.
• Built on Ubuntu Operating System for long term compatibility (especially with the uncertainty about CentOS Stream and the future viability of AlmaLinux / Rocky Linux)

You can add multiple servers to the setup.  So for example add a single site server with dedicated resources for 1 website or add more resources for multiple websites to a Virtual Machine or add a dedicated machine for more websites again.  There is slightly more overhead in CPU and RAM due to how the system is containerized with Docker but the actual panel license is a lot less than cPanel so it balances out.  As the system is containerized with docker you can easily split a larger server up to host multiple sites.  Our sales team would love to open a chat with you and if you need to host a single website or multiple sites the solution is perfect for all scenarios and is scalable. Pricing is still being finalised but it will be competitive compared to our existing hosting plans and for the additional features and performance it will be excellent value for money.

We're on the hunt for a dozen clients who would be willing to move their website (either temporarily or permanently) to this platform so we can test it out with some real people.  For full transparency we currently only have 2 production clients on this platform and it's been running for 2 months with excellent performance.  Both are WooCommerce WordPress websites and with Openlitespeed the performance is excellent - significantly better than cPanel with http/2 and mpm-event.

Reach out to our management team by emailing [email protected] and ask for Stephen K if you would like to try this out free of cost for some test sites or if you would like to move your existing WordPress website over to this platform as a test on performance.
