Hosting Plans Compared

Our hosting tiers differ by quite a bit, becoming much more powerful going up the order. Here's what each tier looks like...

Basic Hosting

Your website is deployed on to a single server, protected by Cloudflare, allowing for a much cheaper tier. The server handles all incoming web traffic with Nginx, Engine CMS stores and retrieves data via PostgreSQL and uses Redis for caching. Static and media files such as image uploads are handled by an external Assets CDN server and backups are frequently taken and uploaded to the Backup server.

Standard Hosting

A Cloudflare-protected, load-balanced network of 2 servers is used to deploy and host your website. Being a high availability network, your website will still work even if one of the servers goes down. Each server handles traffic using Nginx and hosts your Engine CMS website. PostgreSQL database and Redis caching are offloaded onto dedicated servers to reduce Engine CMS server workload. A dedicated Assets CDN node is utilised to store and deliver your website's media files, and backups are frequently taken and uploaded to the Backups server.

Professional Hosting

With a Cloudflare-protected, load-balanced network of 4 dedicated web server nodes with high availability functionality, your website will be incredibly fast with unmatched stability. Each server handles traffic using Nginx and hosts your Engine CMS website. PostgreSQL database and Redis caching are offloaded onto dedicated servers to reduce Engine CMS server workload. A dedicated Assets CDN node is utilised to store and deliver your website's media files, and backups are frequently taken and uploaded to the Backups server.

We host your custom Engine CMS-powered website on a dedicated enterprise-level server. Our servers are all scalable, allowing us to keep up with an increasing visitor count to your growing business.
