Starter Plan

Our Starter Plan provides an excellent solution for hosting a small business site, personal homepage or a blog. All of Rochen's web hosting solutions are performance tuned for hosting dynamic database powered applications such as Joomla, phpBB, WordPress or in fact any PHP / MYSQL script. As your website grows you can seamlessly upgrade to a larger plan without downtime or penalty fees.

Key Features

Sub Domains Sub Domains Create unlimited sub domains under each of your hosted domains. A sub domain takes the format: sub.domain.com.
Parked Domains Parked Domains Create unlimited parked domains allowing you to have multiple domains pointing to the same account and content.
cPanel Control Panel cPanel Control Panel cPanel allows you to take complete control over each of your domains including allowing management of your entire website, email accounts, databases and more. For example, you can add / remove email accounts and forwarders, configure password protected directories, manage MySQL databases and more directly through the cPanel system without having to contact customer support.
Hardware RAID10 Arrays Hardware RAID10 Arrays Rochen's servers are protected by hardware RAID10 arrays to help reduce or even eliminate downtime in the event of a hard disk failure. The servers are also backed by a hot-spare disk for immediate failover and the hard disks are completely hot-swappable so that a failed disk can be replaced while the server remains online.
SAS 15K Storage SAS 15K Storage One of the first bottlenecks to be hit in an environment hosting database intensive applications is the throughput from the hard disks. To resolve this problem Rochen use solely Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) 15,000 RPM Cheetah hard disks from Seagate. We never reach the maximum throughput level on our servers and combined with RAID10 protection we have the ultimate storage platform in terms of performance and redundancy.
