APP:Host Expression Engine Hosting
ACC have been hosting Ellis Labs Expression Engine since 2010 and our Expression Engine customers really appreciate our experience and knowledge in creating tuned O/S setups to get the best performance out this popular content delivery platform.
APP:Host Expression Engine hosting supports both stand alone and multi site editions of Expression Engine.
Staging Server Included
All our APP:Host Expression Engine hosting plans come with a fully loaded APP:Host staging server included, this server has a reduced specification but runs all the same core components of the production servers used in your solution.
In addition - all APP:Host Expression Engine Hosting packages are front optimised by Brocades vTM - an advanced Traffic Management solution, and not to be confused with a simple load balancer. Offloading SSL and creating advanced rule based caching policies enables us to reduce the specification (and node count) of your total solution so please bear this in mind if you are comparing like for like with other hosting packages from other providers. Using fewer servers not only saves your money, but as a hosting provider that is environmentally aware, the more efficient we can be, the less power consumed. To coin and old mantra of ours, we do hosting, but without the toasting!
