Upgraded Features
All premium hosting plans now have the following features:
PHP 5
One of the most used programming languages on the net today Hostroute’s hosting plans all come with PHP5 installed as standard, along with standard PHP modules such as GD, CGI, FTP, IMAP, CURL, OpenSSL, POSIX, MySQL support, TTF, PEAR, ZEND, and a host of other modules. PHP5 allows your custom written applications and also the mass of software available on the Internet free of charge to work out of the box on your hosting account. Our engineers are also skilled at making the additions you need including .htaccess tweaks and adding in new modules.
Ruby on Rails
Are you developing applications or wanting to jump onto the Web2.0 stage? All Hostroute Premium hosting plans are now available with Ruby and the revolutionary Ruby on rails Framework. Running the latest Gems and Ruby version 1.8 allows you to work within a low cost, fully maintained development environment. All your applications are setup via the Cpanel configuration menu and you can have your code up and running in minutes, throw in the mass of freely available modules out there and you can be building your own custom applications and sites to rival the likes of Digg and Flickr in hours. Have we not included something you need? Ask us for it and if it’s a sensible addition we’ll reconfigure the server for you.
Fantastico
Giving you hosting packages with great features makes it easy for you to install those pieces of code on the Internet available for all, but what if you aren’t a seasoned PHP developer and don’t know your php.info from your dispatch.rb? We know its hard getting the applications you want on-line quickly – we’ve seen our sales team try and it isn’t pretty!! That’s exactly why we have Fantastico available across all servers, with this you can easily install Forums, Gallery Software, Web Portals, Content Management Systems, Site builders and many many more all with a few simple clicks – freeing up your time to get on with building your site rather than running the setups only us who have spent way too long without a shower get a kick out of*
Centos
Centos – Its Linux produced for the server environment – our Linux of choice is Centos? Why? Well its based on Redhat Enterprice Linux which is designed for environments where uptime is key, we’re RedHat experts and it has Long Term Support (LTS) from the vendor. Choosing an operating system designed for a server environment rather than the desktop increases uptime and security, patches are kept to a minimum because they are mainly released for security and not to add new features (its great to have new features in your desktop environment but servers are for serving content!).
Cpanel
We use the Cpanel hosting control panel along with WebHostManager (WHM). Cpanel is one of the mostly widely used hosting control panel in the industry and with it you can manage your site, FTP and mail with a few clicks in your browser. We consider ourselves Cpanel experts having used it since its very inception over 10 years ago. Sign up for a reseller account and with WHM you can add and remove domains, it gives you the function to start up your own hosting business in minutes! maybe even setting you up to complete with us one day
