With shared Web Hosting, your site shares a physical server with several other sites and each site will be allocated a limited amount of resources. Because it’s shared, it’s a great cost-effective way to get your site online. Plus, site management is made easy with a simple control panel and you don’t need to manage the hardware yourself – we’ll handle all the server admin for you. However, because other sites are using the same server, if they start using loads of resources your site performance could be affected.

Performance Hosting on the other hand provides all the benefits of shared web hosting such as the simple Control Panel and managed servers, but you also get the added bonus of dedicated resources. This gives you the performance boost of having your own server without the headache of having to manage the hardware side of things yourself.

For some, having full root access to configure your server can be useful, but many simply don’t have the time or know-how to manage it. Performance Hosting gives you all the perks of dedicated hosting, while keeping the benefits of managed hosting – you get dedicated performance and we take care of all the server admin for you.

Utilising the Performance Hosting add-on means you can expect double the resources compared to the same website running on a standard shared hosting server. That’s double the PHP memory, therefore allowing you to run much more complex scripts with a boost to performance.

Ecommerce sites typically have a lot of content and images and therefore need to run fast so the customer has a smooth and pain-free experience. Did you know: 57% of customers will leave a merchant’s site if it takes longer than three seconds to load. Performance Hosting means pages load faster than on shared hosting, so more visitors convert to customers.

A fast-loading website is one of the factors search engines consider when ranking websites in the search results. If you have a fast-loading site, users are more likely to stick around, and that tells search engines that your site is high-quality, and so you’ll be rewarded in the organic rankings – it’s particularly important for mobile visitors. High-performance web hosting will help ensure your website loads fast, so your users will feel the benefit, and so will the search engines.
