We start by provisioning high-end, SSD-based Linux servers in state-of-the-art, redundantly connected network operation centers. We actively manage these servers, keeping them up to date with the latest performance and security updates as they are released. All servers are monitored for uptime and performance 24/7 with alerts instantly dispatched to our team as soon as any failure is detected.
Next we deploy our own custom, high-performance WordPress stack making use of the web’s best technologies:
The
NGINX web server powers most of the world’s top websites. It is widely regarded as the fastest, most secure, most efficient, and most reliable web server available. We have been using nginx exclusively for more than a decade.
MariaDB is one of the most popular database servers in the world. It’s made by the original developers of MySQL and has been developed as an improvement over MySQL in performance, features, and reliability. Notable users include Wikipedia, Facebook and Google.
We use the
redis in-memory data structure store for lightning fast caching of both full-page rendered html (saving the server the time-consuming work of rebuilding each page from scratch on every request) as well as PHP object caching which significantly speeds up the customer experience in WooCommerce as well as your work in the administrative area of WordPress.
PHP7 is a revolution in the way we deliver WordPress. This is the most important change for PHP since the release of PHP 5 in 2004, bringing explosive performance improvements, drastically reduced memory consumption, and a host of brand-new language features that make WordPress performance soar.
We route all of our web traffic through
Cloudflare‘s intelligent global network. This optimizes the delivery of your web pages in multiple ways so your visitors get the fastest page load times and best performance. Cloudflare also blocks threats and limits abusive bots and crawlers from wasting your bandwidth and server resources. The result: Cloudflare-powered websites see a significant improvement in performance and a decrease in spam and other attacks.
Each client’s WordPress database and all of the images and other site content (everything one would need to re-create the site) are automatically securely encrypted on our server and then backed up nightly offsite to
Tarsnap, the online backup service for the truly paranoid. Clients are given unique cryptographic keys that allow them to independently download and decrypt the backups for bulletproof disaster recovery.
Over many years of collaboration with top experts in WordPress development and hosting, database administrators, and the open source devops community, we have developed a finely tuned custom configuration of the components listed above which is adaptable to the unique requirements of each of our clients and is constantly being updated to take advantage of the continuous improvement and refinement inherent in open source development practices.
Our hosting services begin at a flat rate of $500/mo for standard WordPress / WooCommerce deployments. We can handle a wide variety of custom configurations, and can provide ongoing custom services related to your site with additional fees. Please contact us for a consultation and a quote.
