Right alongside awesome support and blazing-fast server speeds is the need to have a web hosting provider that you can depend on. Depends on PaKish! We’re the best Shared Hosting provider! We understand that there’s nothing more frustrating than server downtime. When your website is down, it means that your visitors can’t read your content and most importantly they can’t purchase from your site. It’s a total loss of opportunity as well as a waste of your time and hard work. We understand! That’s why we handpick our engineers and use only the very best hardware, networks, data centers, software, and industry techniques to ensure our servers run at optimal performance. At the end of the day, we want you to sleep easy knowing you made the right decision choosing PaKish for all of your web hosting needs. We want you to feel confident that your business is in our trusty hands. That’s why your Web Hosting account will also include our 99.9% Uptime Commitment!

We strive to be different than those other Shared Hosting providers. We’re not some generic service. As you know, our goal each and every day is to be the fastest web hosting provider and offer tools that other hosts are simply unable to offer you. Below are just some of the speed-enhanced features available on SwiftServers, our exclusive speed-enhanced hosting platform. Every PaKish customer, including you, is hosted on our SwiftServer platform! While we won’t give away the entire recipe for our special speed sauce, here are a few ingredients that ensure blazing-fast performance for your websites. Turbo Server Option – If you really want to give your site an advantage over your competitors, you’ll definitely want to consider hosting your sites on our Turbo Servers. Why? They feature up to 20X faster page loads compared to competing Web Hosting services. Now that’s really fast! Just a few of the features that make our Turbo Servers perform so well are that they use a speed-enhanced, drop-in Apache alternative, host fewer users on each server and every user has more resources allocated to their Web Hosting account. Our Turbo Servers also include our exclusive PaKish Optimized tool that makes caching a breeze. You can read more about this tool below: PaKish Optimized Tool – Not only do we offer caching for Memcached, OPcache, and Turbo Cache on our Shared accounts so you get the fastest page load speeds, but our exclusive PaKish Optimized tool lets you setup these solutions with just 1-click so you get the easiest experience as well! Those other web hosts either don’t allow these caching solutions on their shared hosting servers or they are simply unable to. Not at PaKish! We actually give you our exclusive tool to help you set up caching for your sites! How do these caching solutions make your site load faster? By storing key components of your website in memory for faster retrieval each time your site is accessed by one of your website visitors. This prevents every piece of your website from having to load for each of your visitors. Your site is instead more readily available because key pieces of your website (broken down further below) can load faster: Memcached – Boosts the speed of your databases by keeping the most important pieces of your MySQL databases in memory for faster access when visiting your site. Turbo Cache – Makes it possible to load all the HTML content of your site without even having to run PHP! OPcache – Offers up to 50% faster PHP response times! Solid State Drives (SSDs) – Did you know that PaKish was one of the first hosts to offer solid-state drive web hosting? SSDs are included for free in our SwiftServer platform and feature up to 300% faster page loads compared to traditional hosting! Unlike those traditional hard disk drives that use spinning disks to access your data (think of a record player/turntable), Solid State Drives uses flash technology to access its data. Flash technology is more compact, lighter, and most importantly provides faster performance for your website. Choice Of Data Center Locations – While PaKish is headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan in the United States, we know that your visitors may not be. You want to host your website as close to your visitors as possible to reduce latency, or the amount of time it takes your site’s data to reach your visitors. That’s why we offer data center options located around the globe! You can choose to host your site in the data center located closest to your visitors. That means you get all the PaKish speed features with the added benefit of reduced latency. Free Content Delivery Network – While you can choose your data center location at PaKish so your site is hosted as close as possible to the majority of your website visitors, you still want to cater to the rest of your visitors if they don’t live so close! That way ALL of your visitors can experience how fast your site loads. That’s why we’ve also included a free content delivery network (CDN) with your Web Hosting account. Our CDN automatically routes your traffic through its smart global network to automatically optimize the delivery of your site. How does it work? The CDN features a number of data centers located across the world. The CDN is able to create the fastest, most efficient data/website-delivery route from these data centers to your audience. Anycast DNS – When typing in a domain name into a web browser, traditional DNS works by translating that domain name into the IP address where that website can be found. The computer is connected with the web host and the website can be viewed once this IP address is located. The DNS record is located on a DNS server found in one location. For example, if you’re located in the United Kingdom, but your visitor is located in the United States, it can take some time for that DNS server and your visitor’s computer to communicate with each other. This can slow down how fast a web page loads. PaKish uses Anycast DNS because that resolves this issue. Instead of just one DNS location, Anycast DNS copies your DNS record on our network of global servers. This means that your DNS record is much closer to your visitors and Anycast can direct visitors to a DNS server located more closely to them. In short, Anycast DNS is another PaKish solution that can help your site load even faster for your visitors.

Why is site speed so important? Your visitor satisfaction rate, bounce rate, and most importantly your conversion rate are all directly impacted by your page load speed. Each extra millisecond it takes your website to load has a negative impact on each of these critical metrics. There are a number of ways that you can ensure that your site loads quickly. That includes making sure that your software is up to date, using caching solutions, and removing any website plugins that you’re not using. However, one of the biggest factors that determine your page load speed is your host. PaKish uses the best hardware, software, and optimizations to ensure we offer the fastest Web Hosting. That means you get the fastest page load speeds possible. Do you have any Web Hosting service questions? You’re in luck!

You are able to update your website files whenever you want to. However, your audience will not be able to view any files not included in the public_html directory (or within the subdirectory beneath public_html). Configuring Your Domain Name If you have a domain name that was not purchased from PaKish that you would like to use with your PaKish account, you will need to update that domain’s nameservers (DNS). You won’t have to do this if you bought your domain from PaKish. It has already been done for you. The nameservers and their IP addresses are listed in the Product Details of My PaKish. The nameservers for your web hosting account are ns1.pakish.net, ns2.pakish.net, ns3.pakish.net, and ns4.pakish.net.

We highly recommend that you select our Turbo Web Hosting package. Our Turbo plans load sites up to 20X faster compared to competing web hosting solutions. Why does website speed and page load times matter? Your site speed has a direct impact on your conversion rate. In fact, studies have shown that a mere 1-second delay in page load speed drops your conversion rate by 7%. That’s a lot! Our Turbo Servers can give you the boost your site needs! Even if you don’t sell anything on your site, you should care about your site’s speed. After all, a slow page also negatively impacts your bounce rate and your visitor satisfaction rate. Not only that but site speed is included in search engine ranking algorithms. That means your faster site can get a rank boost over competing slower sites. While we recommend our Turbo servers to all users, we understand if you’re not quite ready for that level of service. To decide between our lower or middle-tier hosting packages, you will want to consider what your resource needs are. In particular, you will want to consider how many websites you plan on hosting on your package. If you plan on hosting more than 1-site, our middle-tier web hosting package should suit your needs quite well. If you only plan on hosting a single website, our lower-tier web hosting solution would be a good option for you. Remember that our Web Hosting solutions are completely scalable. That means we’ll have a Web Hosting solution perfect for you even as your site and your resource needs grow. Are you still not quite sure which Web Hosting package you should select? Just contact our Guru Crew’s Sales department. They’ll be more than happy to direct you to the appropriate Web Hosting solution!
