Differences between Turbo Web Hosting servers and Drive Web Hosting servers

From a user perspective, Hostvento Hosting’s Turbo Boost and Turbo Max Web Hosting servers behave almost identically to our Drive Web Hosting servers. However, there are a few differences between Hostvento Hosting’s Turbo Boost and Turbo Max Web Hosting and Drive Web Hosting servers that impact web developers.

The Turbo Boost and Turbo Max Web Hosting servers:

• compile .htaccess files to make speed improvements. Any changes to .htaccess files are immediately re-compiled.
• have their own PHP API that provides speed improvements over FastCGI and PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager).
• servers do not need to create a worker process as the user to serve static files. Servers only create a worker process for PHP scripts, which results in faster performance.
• APC (Alternative PHP Cache) is enabled by default. Accounts are allocated 16 MB of APC memory.
• have double the physical memory allocated.
• have a built-in caching engine; however, caching is disabled by default. To enable caching, you must use an .htaccess file. For information about how to do this.
• PHP configuration settings are changed using cPanel instead of php.ini files. You can also change the PHP version using cPanel. For information about how to do this.
• do not support Ruby-based or Python-based web applications, including Rails and Django.
