Isolate & accelerate your website
What is a container?
An (application) container is a lightweight, standalone software package which includes the application (your code), its dependencies/libraries (software it needs to run) and its settings in one place. The nature of being self-contained and portable lends many benefits.
What benefits?
When isolating
hosted domains using containerisation, it aids:
- Availability – Easily moved between differing hardware and environments, helps reduce hardware and maintenance-related outages.
- Performance – Allocating, monitoring and limiting the compute resources on each container ensures all sites are protected against resource abuse and are given appropriate environments.
- Security – Container-specific users and permissions eliminate many risks associated with traditional hosting methods.
Purely.Website’s approach:
Traditional approach:
Hosted Domains per Container
We recommend adding only one
hosted domain to one container, or you will not benefit fully from the availability, performance and security features. If you add more than one domain per container you’re accepting that we may be unable to assist in debugging any performance or security events.
Resources per Container
We only limit container resources to protect the service against abuse, but we reserve the right further to restrict container resources in line with the package specifications.
