Our clustered hosting provides a level of consistent level of Excellence! There are many factors that can affect the performance of your website, the most common factor being overloaded servers with underpowered hardware. With iMountain Clustered Hosting, slow servers are a thing of the past. Our servers are specifically configured for high speed dynamic content.

All Cluster Hosting plans come with recent versions:

• PHP 5.2.6 - is your Host still using PHP 4 standard?  Step up to PHP 5 as PHP4 is being phased out
• mySQL 5.0 - It's amazing how many webhosts still use mySQL 4.1, we've been using mySQL 5 for years now
• Apache 2.2 - We recently upgraded to the latest Apache 2.2 to take advantage of the improved speed

Caching galore... All servers use some form of caching, here's what's available to you:

• xCache with 1GB of RAM cache and variable caching enabled - greatly increases speed of applications with xCache support such as vBulletin, Wordpress, Joomla, Invision Power Board.
• Memcache, we run a dedicated 32GB RAM Memcache server which is available to high traffic sites.  If you want your large forum, blog or Joomla site to fly, Memcache is the way to go.

Traditional Web 1-Server Hosting

With regular webhosting you get ONE (1) server to power your website and that's it. So you have your Mail, mySQL, Control Panel AND webserving all on 1 box. Now this works fine if there's 10-20 websites on your server. But what happens when you have a typical shared webhosting scenario where there are 300-500 website on your 1 little server? You start getting slow page loading speeds, mySQL timeouts, and frustration from your website visitors. Nobody wants to frequent a website that loads up slow! 300-500 people sharing 1 server? You better get used to the hourglass!

The iMountain Cluster Difference

With our server clusters, the load gets spread out among a MINIMUM of 5 server class machines. This way, no 1 load can affect the performance of the cluster. Each machine is dedicated to doing 1 thing and 1 thing only so the end result is blazing fast speed! See the difference for your self! More is always better and one of our typical clusters hold about 50Gigahertz of raw power and 40-50 Gigs of RAM. See if your old webhost can do that.
