Advanced Hosting Options

One of the most frequent complaints that you get regarding your site is that it is slow. If your business requires a good website and cannot afford slow connection speed or slow download speed, you should select a good advanced web hosting option.

In nine out of ten cases, the reason behind slow load time for your web pages is cramped working of the gateway. You are not satisfied with the answer, but there is nothing really that you can do about it. Two of the best advanced options that specifically take care of speed of your site are discussed below.

SSL Accelerators
Using an SSL accelerator is a simple solution. An SSL accelerator is based on Secure Sockets Layer protocol. It is a PCI card that your web host installs on the server where your site is hosted. Experienced web host knows how to use SSL for best results. A PCI card is inserted in the server and you see that the performance of your site has improved dramatically.
Using an SSL accelerator is a part of many hosting plans available with the service providers. If your site requires a large area, you should request your host to provide SSL accelerators.

Traceroute
A traceroute is a mechanism that traces a data packet from your computer to your host, showing at how many points, the packet is routed to reach the host, and how long each hop from one router to another takes. If the pages are loaded slowly in your website, you can use traceroute to figure out where the longest delays are occurring. This number can be large in case of a reseller company.

Traceroute is a common component for hosts that are experienced in networking business. A good host uses a traceroute on the server where your site is hosted. Using a traceroute has many benefits. Traceroute can be used to track hackers, particularly if your site is hosted at a dedicated server. The traceroute is based on a mechanism that you can also help you find out who is responsible for DDOS attacks.
