Every 7M HOST website runs on a modern cloud server built for speed. Here is what happens behind the scenes when someone visits your site.
Fast by default
- Solid-state storage: your files and databases live on SSD storage, so pages and database queries load quickly.
- Nginx in front: a lightweight Nginx web server answers requests first and serves images, stylesheets and scripts directly, passing only dynamic pages to PHP.
- HTTP/2 and HTTPS: secure connections use HTTP/2, which loads many page resources in parallel over a single connection.
- Compression: text-based files are compressed before they are sent, so less data travels over the network.
Reliable infrastructure
Our server runs in a professional cloud data center with redundant power and network connectivity, continuous hardware monitoring, and automatic daily backups of every hosting account.
Tips to make your site even faster
- Use a caching plugin if you run WordPress.
- Compress images before uploading them (or use an image-optimization plugin).
- Keep your themes and plugins up to date, and remove ones you no longer use.
- Choose the PHP version recommended by your application in the control panel.
