NVMe-only
Premium NVMe, no SATA layer
Enterprise NVMe on tuned bare metal. No networked SAN, no spinning disks behind an SSD cache.

The full stack
Every layer, tuned by hand.
We've spent more time tuning database engines and web servers than we'd like to admit. Here's what that gets you.

Performance
Speed isn't a feature. It's the architecture.
Every layer pulls its weight, from kernel buffers to the page cache. Here's the actual stack, with the numbers we run it at.
Web server
LiteSpeed
LiteSpeed engine, not Apache
LSCache for WordPress pre-tuned. Brotli compression. HTTP/3 + QUIC negotiated on every request.

PHP runtime
8.3 + JIT
PHP 8.3, tuned for WordPress
OPcache and JIT tracing enabled. Generous per-request memory so heavy plugins don't OOM.

Database
MariaDB
MariaDB, tuned for WP queries
Deep buffer pools, threaded query handling, IO tuned for NVMe latency. Redis sits on top as an object cache.

Caching
Layered
Edge, page, and object, layered
Cloudflare's edge fronts the LiteSpeed page cache. Redis fronts the DB. The WP options table never touches disk on a warm cache.

Network
10 Gbit+
Tuned kernel network stack
BBR congestion control, tuned TCP buffers, jumbo frames where supported. Throughput holds under congestion instead of collapsing.

Security
Defense in depth. Not as an upsell.
A request from the open internet passes through five layers before it can touch a database row. Each one is configured on day one: no add-ons, no premium SKUs.
01
Cloudflare edge
L3 / L4 / L7 DDoS scrubbing
Volumetric floods, SYN attacks, and HTTP request floods are dropped before they touch your origin. Origin IP is never exposed.
02
WAF + Bot fight
OWASP ruleset + bot management
ModSecurity OWASP CRS plus Cloudflare's Bot Fight Mode. Injection, XSS, and credential-stuffing get the 403 before PHP runs.
03
Origin firewall
Allowlist to Cloudflare's edge only
The origin firewall accepts inbound 443 from Cloudflare's published IP ranges and nothing else. SSH is key-only on a non-22 port.
04
Application
Rate-limited login + audit log
Tunable rate-limit on /wp-login.php and /xmlrpc.php. Daily ImunifyAV malware scans. Every change is recorded in a per-site audit log.
05
User auth
2FA on the hosting panel
TOTP 2FA is mandatory for the customer panel. Sessions auto-expire, SSH keys are scoped per environment, and IP allowlists are supported.
Reliability
Uptime measured. Credited automatically.
99.9% works out to a maximum of 43 m 12 s of downtime per month. Anything more and we credit your account before you have to ask.
Live status
All systems operational
Real-time monitoring,
public and unfiltered.
Origin, database, edge and email each check in every 60 seconds. The dashboard at status.serverborn.com is the same one our on-call rotation watches, not a curated marketing version.

Developer experience
The tooling you'd actually wire up if you were running it yourself.
Browser terminal + WP-CLI
A real shell inside your own container, one click from the panel, on a laptop or a phone. WP-CLI, PHP, MySQL and curl are ready; every session is isolated to your pod, timed, and logged.
Self-service migrations
Bring any site in from a backup: WordPress exports, cPanel backups or a plain zip plus the database. The panel unpacks, imports, rewrites the address, cleans up the old host's leftovers and switches on caching, usually in under ten minutes.
Git push to deploy + previews
Connect a GitHub repo, pick a branch and a folder. Every push is live in seconds, with a signed webhook and a full deploy log. Push any other branch and get its own preview site: 1 on Launch, 3 on Pro, 10 on Studio.
Modern panel
A dark, fast, keyboard-friendly admin UI. File manager, browser terminal, cron, DNS and email, all in one place, with a live picture of every site. No 2003-era cPanel.
Staging + safe updates
A private copy of any site, files and database, hidden from search engines. Push to live when it looks right, or let Safe updates test every waiting WordPress update on a copy first, with before and after pictures. Every night, updates that pass the test are applied for you; anything that looks off waits for your call. The live site is saved first, so undo is one click. Every plan.
Real logs, not summaries
Access, error, modsec, and PHP-FPM logs all tailable from the panel or over SSH. No stripped-down "log view" widget.
Redirects manager
Point old addresses at new pages from the panel, permanent or temporary, whole sections at once. Your server answers before WordPress loads, so they are instant and work on any site.
Search and replace, with undo
Change an old domain or a phone number across the whole database, page builders included. Preview every match first; the database is saved first, so one click undoes it.
One-click database cleanup
Clear the old revisions, spam, trash and expired data that slow down the admin. See the count and the space first, tick what goes, undo it if you change your mind.
Automatic WebP images
Every JPEG and PNG gets a lighter WebP copy, usually 25 to 70 percent smaller, and your pages use it automatically. No plugin, and the originals are never touched.
Blueprints for new sites
Save a finished site as a starter, then spin up every new website from it in one click: theme, plugins, pages and settings included. Built for agencies.
Backups you can open
Open any nightly backup in a private staging copy to look around, grab a file or bring back a page, without touching the live site. Or restore everything in one click.
