Designed by hosting experts
As it was created by an expert team with over 20 years’ experience in web hosting, StackCP gives you all the tools you need in one package.
It also undergoes regular user experience testing. This informs further future developments, ensuring that it’s always improving and not becoming difficult to use.
But StackCP offers much more than user-friendly website management.
StackCP means better web hosting
Using StackCP means that we can offer a better quality of web hosting – better performance, site speed and uptime – than anyone using the legacy control panels.
Autoscaling cloud platform
The biggest advantage that using StackCP offers over cPanel-like control panels is that it allows us to offer autoscaling.
On traditional shared hosting, your website is restricted to one server. If your website gets busy, it will take up more resource – memory and processing power – which can cause other sites using that server to slow down. If your website gets really busy, it only has access to the resources of that single server, so it has limits on placed on it. This can make your site slow for visitors.
With unlimited autoscaling cloud hosting, your website isn’t confined to the limits of a single web server. If it gets busy, it has access to the entire multi-server environment. So it’s supplied with all the resources it needs, and other websites aren’t affected by your high traffic. This autoscaling is applied instantly.
This also applies to our ‘failover’ processes. In the unlikely event that a server fails, another server will step in to take over right away – keeping your site online.
