Here at 3rd Rock Hosting we know that your website is important to you. You want speed, security and most of all, reliability. We have made it our mission to provide you with the highest quality service we can. When it comes down to our network, we only run the most up to date software on the most reliable hardware.

CentOS 4
Apache 2.0 or 2.2
MySQL 4
PHP 4 and PHP 5
3rd Rock Hosting uses eAccelerator on it's servers!
eAccelerator is a free open-source PHP accelerator, optimizer, and dynamic content cache. It increases the performance of PHP scripts by caching them in their compiled state, so that the overhead of compiling is almost completely eliminated. It also optimizes scripts to speed up their execution. eAccelerator typically reduces server load and increases the speed of your PHP code by 1-10 times.
eAccelerator stores compiled PHP scripts in shared memory and executes code directly from it. It creates locks only for a short time, while searching for a compiled PHP script in the cache, so one script can be executed simultaneously by several engines. Files that can't fit in shared memory are cached on disk only.
SPEED
All our servers are connected to a 100mbps uplink serving premium quality bandwidth. This allows our servers to serve your website to your visitors at lightning fast speeds!
Connectivity 3rd Rock Hosting connectivity is comprised of multiple redundant Tier 1 backbone providers.
Nightly Backups
We back up all of our servers nightly. All backups are stored off site on secure servers.
