Technology stack

The Enhance technology stack is secure and flexible allowing you to configure a high performance multi-server platform to scale and grow your business.

Web servers

Select your preferred web server. Run any combination of web server types and switch between kinds to optimise the overall performance of your hosting cluster.

LiteSpeed

A lightweight drop in replacement for Apache, the LiteSpeed server provides enhanced performance with advanced full page caching and WordPress integration.

Apache

Developed by the Apache software foundation, the Apache HTTP server is the most popular open-source web server for maximum compatibility.

OpenLiteSpeed

An open source version of LiteSpeed without commercial support. OpenLiteSpeed has limited .htaccess support.

Nginx

An open-source web server, providing high performance with low resource usage and configuration. Configure cache exclusions, utilise FastCGI, purge cache, set rewrites on a per domain basis.

PHP

Out-of-the-box support for popular php modules and php versions 5.6 - 8.2.


The appropriate PHP SAPI is selected for your chosen web server. Enhance will provision PHP-FPM for Apache and Nginx and LSPHP for LiteSpeed and OpenLiteSpeed. When changing web server type, the PHP SAPI is automatically reconfigured for any existing websites.

Backups

Enhance creates incremental, de-duplicated "time machine" backups using the btrfs file system. These snapshots are fast to create and restore as well as being very disk space efficient.

You can run an unlimited number of backup servers within your cluster and move customer data between them to make the most efficient use of your available storage.


We recommend running dedicated backup servers however backups can also share a server with other roles.
