December 6, 201015 yr What is the Fastest PHP5 Hosting? Do you know any? What is it? You will have to test yourself with the requirement, as no one as hosting company will say they are slow. Try to get test download files from there server ..or try to ping there server IP.
December 6, 201015 yr What is the Fastest PHP5 Hosting? Do you know any? What is it? This is totally dependant on a LOT of things, one of them being distance.. Do you want a PHP5 server to be fast for YOU, and only you, or fast for the majority of your audience? If you ping any server in London, from within London, you should expect a reply in less than 10ms, the further away you are, the longer the repply takes, simple. If your in the UK, and host in the America, then your website will be 25x slower as ping times start at 250ms+ and go up, the further west you go... Then there is the hosting companies own "How crowded a server is" that affects it too, so, the more oversold it is, and overloaded, the slower things get, so avoid those who sell anything "Unlimited", because thats a surefire way of joining an oversold host. Basically, you should aim to host your website as close to your target audience as possible, with the a host that does NOT oversell. Your own website will also have a major part to play too, if its coded poorly, then it will eb slow, no matter where its hosted, and if its coded really well, then it wont be a problem :-)
December 6, 201015 yr It also depends on how the server is processing the PHP files - as CGI or directly through the web server... Whats compiled into the PHP runtime enviroment and also how much memory the user processing the files has been allocated. At the minute, we're toying with the idea of deploying Zend Server into our packages for people who have really demanding applications... Unless your site is really busy or hosting large amounts of files, it wont really matter who you host with (even if it is with an overselling hosting provider in the USA). You should however aim to host with someone in the UK if its a UK website
