Magento Hosting – Premium Dell Servers and Tier-1 Network

July 9, 2010

Why we are better and faster?

You’ll be surprised to know that our hosting plans will outperform that of most VPS, Dedicated, and Cloud™ hosting plans out there. Here are some of the reasons why we are the clear choice in true server performance for Magento™ store owners:

Reason #1: Fast SAS 15K5 RPM Hard Drives in RAID10 per web & database server
We are one the only few hosting companies that actually provides incredibly fast 15K5 RPM SAS drives to the market. Additionally we equip our servers with 4 of these drives in a RAID10 Configuration, boosting performance by 300%.
Reason #2: Dual E5560 Nahalem Xeon Processors per web server
The Quad Core Xeon E5520 delivers the ultimate computing ability. Each of the cores has an L1 and L2 cache, and an additional 8MB of shared L3 cache. This CPU has proven invaluable when a large store with a large database regenerates its cache.
Reason #3: Dedicated MySQL Servers
Due to our faster I/O speed and cache-optimized Mysql, we are able to provide much higher transactions per second ratio than any of our other competitors out there. A new magento installation will perform well but after just 3 months your database will grow and without good MySQL and server performance your site will start to slow (especially while caching data)
Reason #4: No buyer waiting – Tier 1 Bandwidth 1,000MBit Dedicated Uplink – speedtest
While many hosts offer unlimited bandwidth (which is impossible) we provide each account with a dedicated 1,000MB (not 100MB or 10MB) connection. In the real world this means that you can download 100MB MAX RATE test it here 100mbtest.bin (it will max out your connection)
Reason #5: RAM – Dedicated to your PHP scripts and to your MySQL processes
Our servers are packed with RAM to match CPU and SCRIPT performance. Your store will have 3GB of ram dedicated to only it PLUS overflow when your resource usage peaks. Don’t get caught out with anything less than premium DDR3 DELL RAM
Reason #6: We are PCI compliant – Has your bank asked to see your PCI compliance certificate yet?
PCI Compliance is fast becoming the norm for anyone accepting electronic payment. With the exception of Paypal, Amazon Payments and Google Checkout, don’t be suprised when your bank asks you to be PCI compliant and your hosting company can not meet those standards.
Reason #7: We only use DELL Servers
We are not $5 hosting. We use the latest DELL POWEREDGE R710 servers with genuine DELL hardware. In order to compete many hosts build servers in house in a ‘white box’ format. While this can work they can not outperform the purpose built industry leader in server hardware.
Reason #8: We support over 120 Magento stores and know what clients need
More than Hi-Performing servers and the latest technology, Devgento is a Magento Web Design, Development and Hosting company. We only deal with Magento and know exactly what challenges stores owners face in relation to hosting performance.
