Our Solo, Growth, Pro, and Reseller hosting plans are available to provide our clients with all the great hosting plan features of our legacy PWH plans and much more!
Active Premium Web Hosting (PWH) plans remain for clients who still use them, but they’re no longer for sale on our website.
This article is for clients who want information bout switching hosting plans from a PWH plan to a new one.
Exclusive New Hosting Plan Features:
The following hosting plan features apply exclusively to our new plans. To see a list of features common to PWH and the new plans, click here or read through the section below.
Ultrafast and Redundant VMware vSAN Storage
Our compute infrastructure is powered by VMware.
Upgraded the storage infrastructure using VMware vSAN, a software-defined distributed storage platform. On the new plans, all client data is hosted across multiple physical servers and stored locally to the compute infrastructure that serves the sites.
Distributed storage platforms are beneficial because the storage is redundant. In a server failure, all data remains accessible and is read locally. vSAN combines the redundancy of traditional SAN with fast local storage performance.
To further optimize performance, we’ve configured the underlying hardware of our vSAN storage arrays with SSD drives. An even faster NVMe-accelerated caching layer backs our SSD drives.
Node.js Support Added
Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform, JavaScript runtime environment that executes JavaScript outside the web browser.
Our new plans fully support Node.js, with the latest LTS version. We also support legacy Node.js versions, including 12.18 and 11.15.
It’s easy to set up Node.js web applications through the Setup Node.js tool in your Rochen cPanel.
Dual-Stack IPv4 and IPv6 Routing
We are a member of the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) in North America and the RIPE Network Coordination Centre in Europe.
We have direct IPv6 address allocations through both organizations.
Sites on our new plans are routed and reachable using both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Web Host Manager (WHM)
The Growth, Pro, and Reseller plans include Web Host Manager (WHM.) With WHM, you create your own hosting packages to distribute your resources.
When you add new domains to your hosting, you assign packages to them with default storage and LVE limits.
You also manage packages and domains via your My Rochen customer account in addition to using WHM.
Pooled Systems Resources
Our new plans use Linux Virtual Environments (LVEs), a kernel-level technology developed by CloudLinux, ensuring that each account has a generous pool of resources.
People who host more than one site use their systems resources as needed or set limits for each site. Limits ensure that one site can’t use the entire pool and impact the performance of the other sites. LVE limits are especially beneficial for hosting resellers.
We segregate accounts on the server for added performance so that each has its share of resources. Segregation ensures that clients cannot negatively impact one another’s resource availability.
Generous Inodes Allocations
Each file in an account (e.g. an image, JavaScript file, or email message) consumes one inode. One inode = one file.
Most big-brand hosting providers are restrictive about inodes. Rochen is different.
Our Solo plan includes 200,000 inodes per site. Growth, Pro, and Reseller plans include 400,000 inodes per site.
Important: that’s per site and not per plan. For example, if you are hosting ten sites under the Pro plan, each will be allocated 400,000 inodes for a total of 4,000,000.
Exclusive PWH Hosting Plan Features:
These hosting plan features apply exclusively to our older Premium Web Hosting (PWH) tier. To view a list of features common to both PWH and the new plans, click here or read through to the section below.
Scaling/Adding Storage
PWH owners can scale storage beyond the default limit. Scaled storage is provided in increments of 1GB and is billed in addition to regular renewal fees.
More information about how to scale PWH storage can be found here.
Site Booster add-on Option
PWH owners can add the Site Booster add-on to their sites. Site Booster is an optional add-on that provides extra LVE resources (RAM, vCPU) to websites that need it.
(Clients on our newer plans have higher default LVE limits, and more robust overall plan upgrade options, eliminating the need for the Site Booster add-on.)
