Hostpoint is the largest web hosting provider in Switzerland, managing more than a million domain names and maintaining one of the most state-of-the-art, stable infrastructures available.
Your website needs to be fast and available at all hours. The Managed Flex Server gives your company a high-performance server.
Your Managed Flex Server is connected directly to the Internet via our fast, redundant connections.
The disk arrays are identical and also redundantly configured to always prevent loss of data even if an individual disk or disk array fails. This guarantees secure availability as well as maximum data security and system stability.
We operate our data center with 100 percent CO2-neutral, renewable energy. This means that your Managed Flex Server also runs on renewable energy.
Your server is located in one of the most secure data centers available. Even Swiss banks entrust their sensitive data to Interxion. Our backup solution keeps your valuable data backed up for up to 180 days.
We monitor your Managed Flex Server 24/7 and always keep your software and systems up-to-date. In the unlikely event that something does go wrong, we will take care of it.
Web projects are dynamic and can grow quickly and require additional features, availability or resources. Here we offer Managed Flex Server features that can be purchased on an optional and temporary basis.
Our separate control panel is the starting point for your hosting administration tasks. Project managers and customers can manage their hosting services from here. Developers can install their preferred applications and web designers can install their CMS systems in no time.
The clean, neatly organized user interface makes your work easy from the very start. Illustrative graphics make using the Control Panel a pleasant experience for you and your customers.
Easily switch back and forth between your various flex and hosting accounts. All you have to do is log in a single time.
Install your applications in no time. Common CMS platforms, such as WordPress, TYPO3, Joomla, Drupal and more can be installed with just a few clicks.
The Managed Flex Server lets you operate numerous popular developer technologies. Here we draw a distinction between services and components that are administered by Hostpoint (“managed services and components”) and those that you can operate yourself (“self-managed services”).
Node.js is a server-side platform used in software development for running network applications. It is used in particular to set up web servers.
MariaDB is a database management system that started as a spin-off of MySQL. The project was launched by MySQL’s former head developer Michael Widenius, who also developed the Aria storage engine that forms the basis for MariaDB.
Memcached is a cache server for the general storage and retrieval of data from the memory. The software is used mainly for web pages that store data from database systems temporarily on the server.
Redis is an in-memory database with a simple key-value data structure and belongs to the family of NoSQL databases. Redis is probably the most common key-value-based database.
PHP is a scripting language with a syntax similar to C and Perl. It is mainly used to build dynamic websites or web applications. Today, PHP is the standard for the most common CMSs.
Nota: Please note that you can only manage the Nginx web server from the Hostpoint Control Panel and configure the specific settings there.
Nginx is a web server software, reverse proxy and e-mail proxy developed by Igor Sysoev. Nginx is currently used on 62.7% of the top 10,000 websites and is frequently used for high-performance websites because of its intelligent caching functions.
Solr is an enterprise search platform written in Java and was developed as part of the Apache Lucene project.
Elasticsearch saves documents in NoSQL format. Communication with the clients is processed via a RESTful web interface. Along with Solr, Elasticsearch is the most commonly used search server.
Note: Please note that you can only manage the Apache web server from the Hostpoint Control Panel and configure the specific settings there.
Apache HTTP Server is a free open-source product from the Apache Software Foundation and is one of the most widely used web server solutions.
Apache Tomcat is a web server and web container that implements the specifications for Java servlets and JavaServer pages. It also allows web applications written in Java to be run with servlets or JavaServer pages (JSP).
We operate and monitor these common services for you, and we always keep them up to date.
On the Managed Flex Server, you can install your own applications and manage them yourself as a customer. With «Custom service control» you can have them start and stop automatically during server reboots or when maintenance work is carried out.
For the following applications, we offer installation instructions and reduced support:
But you can operate just about any application or your own developments if they are based on a supported programming language, or can be run on our Unix platform (FreeBSD). You are responsible for these applications, and we offer no application-specific support for them. Examples include:
In addition to specific developer and performance advantages, you also benefit from extensive basic services for managing your website, e-mail addresses and domains. The Managed Flex Server packages even offer a complete office solution.
We offer the latest versions of the most popular content management systems. Our Managed Flex Servers are preconfigured so that the specific CMS interacts perfectly with the databases and runs faster than ever.
Guaranteed server resources (vCPU and RAM) keep your CMS running at light speed at all times.
Various caches, such as Redis or Memcached, ensure optimal, fast website performance.
Managed Flex Server services, such as the Hostpoint Control Panel, e-mail services, multiple daily backups, etc. run on separate hardware instances and clusters. As a result, your Managed Flex Server does not slow down these services and can make all of its resources available to your applications. This offers considerable added value in comparison to other managed hosting providers, who run all services directly on one and the same virtual machine.
Our redundantly configured storage clusters are equipped with flash storage (SSD) for websites and databases. We rely on 100% SSD hosting (NVMe) for storage clusters for websites. For your databases, we’ve equipped the flash storage with 100% SSD storage.
