Read →Selling more CPU and RAM than the server physically has is standard industry practice. Here's exactly how it works, why hosts do it, and what it costs your site.
Read →Every Ember plan and above gets a dedicated PostgreSQL database, isolated at the process level. Here's why that matters for performance, security, and reliability.
Read →cPanel costs money per account, carries fifteen years of legacy complexity, and runs things our customers don't need. So we built something that only does what matters.
