At Orangecast, we know the pains of traffic spikes on a WordPress blog. We’ve had days on our blogs MidwestSportsFans.Com and How-To-Blog.TV that brought our previous hosting solution to its knees. What frustrated us the most was the only high performance WordPress hosting answers we could find in the industry were expensive solutions like “Content Delivery Networks” and VIP hosting platforms that normal bloggers can’t get into. So, we set out on a mission to solve the problem and create our own high performance WordPress hosting solution. We did it and little did we know we’d end up launching HostCo!
HostCo high performance WordPress hosting solution is based on high performance hardware from a major US infrastructure provider and is built from the ground up with a virtual machine based on very thin installation of Ubuntu Linux. The hardware platform features RAID 10 disks, HP hardware, and premium data center connectivity. Hardware is just the beginning; our configurations tailored to WordPress is what sets us apart.
At HostCo, our offering is front ended with a high performance NGINX server for serving up static pages and images. We further soup up performance by pulling .HTACCESS semantics into the actual Apache configuration for lightening fast resolution of permalinks and WP-Supper Cache calls. We then lock down the server for ultimate security and perform daily backups. The result is an affordable server that is snappy and can handle thousands of concurrent users without any degradation to user experience. Last, Ubuntu Linux, being based on Debian Linux, is one of the most stable operating systems available today.
HostCo high performance WordPress hosting solutions start at $20 per month.
