You no longer have to deal with multiple parties or worry about anything technical. We make sure that your website and underlying infrastructure keeps running, secure and fast.

Our infrastructure is setup in such a way that it automatically scales horizontally with the needs of your website. Not only helps this save you money by not having a huge server sit idle most of the time it also improves on speed and reliability.

A CDN (Content Delivery Network) helps you speed up content delivery significantly. Instead of storing all content on 1 central server we move copies of static content to servers around the world close to your users. By putting HTML pages, javascript files, stylesheets, images, and videos on servers close to your users you limit the time it takes to load your website.

Each time a visitor tries to reach your website a request to a DNS server is sent. The answer to this request tells the computer exactly how your website can be reached. The faster the answer from DNS reaches the visitor the faster your website starts loading.

Anycast DNS is a traffic routing algorithm used for the speedy delivery of website content that advertises individual IP addresses on multiple nodes. We make sure that requests are send to a DNS server geographically close to the visitor. Because the distance is kept small the answer is getting back to the visitor much quicker then in a traditional DNS setup.

DNSSEC strengthens authentication in DNS using digital signatures based on public key cryptography. With DNSSEC, it’s not DNS queries and responses themselves that are cryptographically signed, but rather DNS data itself is signed by the owner of the data.

DNSSEC adds two important features to the DNS protocol:

• Data origin authentication allows a resolver to cryptographically verify that the data it received actually came from the zone where it believes the data originated.
• Data integrity protection allows the resolver to know that the data hasn’t been modified in transit since it was originally signed by the zone owner with the zone’s private key.

Redis and object caching can vastly speed up your WordPress page load times with each subsequent visit. Remote Dictionary Server (Redis) “is an open source, in-memory data structure store used as a database, cache, and message broker.” It’s a key-value store which is often called a NoSQL database. It’s best used on dynamic websites such as WordPress sites when it comes to object caching, which caches repeating query results.

At WP Hogs we care a lot about security and privacy, an SSL certificate helps you with both. By encrypting data to and from your website it protects the data from being read by a malicious actor. To emphasize the importance of a SSL certificate, Google has announced that not having one will affect your ranking. By default a standard SSL certificate is included with webhosting but depending on the kind of website this may not be enough. If for whatever reason you are required to have an EV SSL certificate let us know.

All WordPress websites we host for our clients are hosted on GCP (Google Cloud Platform) which consists of 24 regions worldwide. Each region has availability zones, and each zone has its own data center. Each data center has its own hardware. Together with you we determine what’s the best region and availability zones to choose from.
