Eleven2 has announced the launch of shared SSD hosting options. Eleven2, which has headquarters in Los Angeles, California, USA, offers a wide range of web hosting products and services including shared, dedicated, reseller and cloud hosting alongside domain name registration services and “virtual premium servers”. The company manages around 100,000 websites through servers in the United States, the United Kingdom and servers in Asia. Its move to SSD shared hosting makes Eleven2’s services “up to 1,000% faster than standard hosting”.
Solid-state Drive (SSD) hard disks have no moving parts and as a result are significantly faster than the ‘spinning-disk’ type hard disks more traditionally used in shared hosting. The result is faster page loading times and improved reliability, as well as an enhanced user experience for Eleven2’s customers’ visitors. The company’s Samsung Enterprise SSD drives offer speeds of 12 gigabytes per second. Its servers also feature a RAID10 configuration and utilize “Over-Provisioning” to ensure “drive sequential read speeds exceed 1,000 Megabytes per second”.
Eleven2’s SSD hosting has also been optimized for solutions such as WordPress and other scripts that utilize databases. In addition, its hosting accounts offer cPanel, the leading web hosting control panel, alongside a range of features that include automatically installed SSL certificates and free account transfers. Eleven2’s services are underpinned guaranteed 99.9% uptime, “multiple daily backups”, ongoing technical and customer support, and a 60-day money back satisfaction guarantee.
