GoDaddy Introduces Web Hosting Plus to its Lineup of Products
Friday, June 24, 2022
GoDaddy changes name of Business Hosting product and rebrands as "Web Hosting Plus" emphasizing improved loading speed and performance for hosted sites, user-friendliness, and server hardware improvements
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, June 23, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Domain registrar and web hosting company GoDaddy (NYSE: GDDY) recently changed the name of their Business Hosting product to Web Hosting Plus.
This name change introduction comes several months after GoDaddy made various server hardware optimization improvements to their hosting platform.
With these latest server hardware improvements, customers who sign up for and use Web Hosting Plus are expected to experience faster loading on their sites with improved performance and up to a nearly 40% average improvement in overall server response times.
This average percentage is based on testing that GoDaddy conducted from August 2021-December 2021 comparing against the previous GoDaddy hosting platform/hardware.
Specific server hardware improvements included:
-- Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) Solid State Drives (SSDs): This
improvement helps customers receive up to a 7x throughput boost with
GoDaddy's server NVMe SSDs for websites that are resource-intensive,
when compared to regular SSDs.
-- PHP OPCache: PHP scripts are now executed once and then stored within
memory, improving server response times by 33%, making sites hosted on
the platform faster overall. This percentage is based on the same tests
conducted from August 2021-December 2021.
-- Improved I/O Resources: With 80MB/s of allocated I/O, users are more
likely to avoid slow loading websites, and receive faster queries of
large databases.
What is Web Hosting Plus?
Web Hosting Plus is Linux Hosting (with cPanel), but with the power and dedicated resources of a virtual private server (VPS). But unlike VPS, there is no need for server administration knowledge or skill. It is the same cPanel experience as shared hosting.
What is the difference between Shared Hosting, Web Hosting Plus, and a VPS?
-- Shared hosting is a low-cost solution to get a website up on the web,
with the downside being the need to share server resources (such as RAM
and CPU) with other customers.
-- A virtual private server, or VPS, is a more powerful web hosting
solution that includes dedicated resources. It is also more expensive
than shared hosting and requires server administration knowledge to
operate.
-- Web Hosting Plus is a balance between shared hosting and VPS hosting
because it offers the processing power of a VPS, but in easy to manage
format similar to that of shared hosting.
What type of sites benefit most from Web Hosting Plus?
-- Ecommerce
-- High-traffic
-- Resource intensive
-- Sites that are currently hosted on a shared hosting plan

150 free apps to use such as WordPress and Joomla that can be installed
in a single click using Installatron within cPanel.
