WordPress-specific features
If you run WordPress, you’ll want to take advantage of our bespoke WordPress platform. We don’t repackage standard hosting as ‘WordPress Hosting’; we’ve gone above and beyond to create a completely separate managed platform.
It’s optimised specifically for WordPress speed and security with lightning fast StackCache caching, MySQL resource handling, and automatic WordPress core updates all backed by fantastic hardware and support.
- Automatic WordPress updates - always forget to update WordPress or simply have too many installs? Don’t worry, we automatically update your core WordPress installs with the latest security fixes and new features as soon as they’re released.
- Built-in plugin monitoring - our systems are always running checks to identify any potentially abusive plugins and automatically block any that may put your website at risk or have a significant impact on performance.
- StackCache - this unique plugin enhances your website caching for consistently quick loading speeds. It works automatically, but you can manage it yourself directly from your WordPress Dashboard if you prefer.
Linux-specific features
Our high-powered Linux platform is ideal for running everything from Joomla! to Magento, so if you like your software you’ll love this platform. If you’re not sure what kind of hosting you need or what kind of website you want, Linux is the best choice. It’s fantastic out of the box, but we’ve made it even better.
- Optimised Apache with NGINX Edge Cache - we’ve fine-tuned Linux’s Apache and created our own superfast caching system so your website always runs at its best. It’s the perfect foundation to grow your website.
- 80+ one-click installs - choose from a wide range of powerful free software titles and install them in seconds. With everything from invoicing to project management covered, you can install as many as you like as use them as much as you want. You can also install the world’s most popular content management systems and ecommerce software to create feature-rich websites at no extra cost.
- Multiple Programming Languages - our Linux platform allows you to make use of many different versions of PHP, ensuring greater flexibility for your website, frameworks, and scripts.
Windows-specific features
When you’re building websites using Windows languages, technologies, and software, you need a platform that can handle the workload. We’ve designed a solid Windows platform to meet all your web hosting needs.
- Always up to date - we use only the latest Windows hosting technology for our platform to ensure you’re always benefiting from the latest features and improvements. Many hosts avoid this because of the resources and costs involved, but we believe in giving you the best for your website.
- Optimised IIS performance - rather than using Windows as-is, we’ve tweaked IIS to give you enhanced website performance, ensuring better page speeds, happier visitors, and support for all ASP and ASP.NET languages from 2.0 onwards.
