What is included with Website Turbo?
StackCDN Pre-Caching
Once Website Turbo is activated on a hosting package, we’ll instantly start pre-fetching the website at all of our CDN locations around the globe.
Pre-caching ensures a much higher cache hit rate for all users regardless of location, and in turn a faster experience for your customers’ traffic.
In My20i, you also get access to a new Cache Report that will show you the pages we’ve identified, whether they’re cacheable and if they’re not, the reason why not.
This provides a very easy way of identifying and resolving caching issues across websites to deliver maximum performance.
High Frequency Compute
Our load balancers will begin balancing websites to our high frequency compute nodes.
These nodes guarantee the websites access to faster processors, operating at a minimum of 3Ghz base frequency.
In tests, we’ve typically seen on average 25% faster benchmarks.
Bigger MySQL Storage
You get an increased 5GB quota on our MySQL servers for all databases on a package with the Website Turbo add-on.
Perfect for ecommerce stores with large product catalogues and lots of customers.
Website Turbo pricing
Website Turbo is charged on a site by site basis. Prices start at £4.99/$4.99 a month per site, with tiered discounts for more sites.
- 1-9 Sites: £4.99/$4.99 per site
- 10-49 sites: £4.49/$4.49 per site
- 50-99 sites: £3.99/$3.99 per site

We are using a credits model for Website Turbo. Once purchased, you can apply these credits to any of your hosting packages.
This allows you to easily move allowances between packages without having to cancel/re-order.
Credits don’t have to be used right away – this allows you to resell credits that you’ve purchased and easily move allowances between packages without having to cancel/re-order.
Applying Website Turbo to a hosting package
Once you have bought your Website Turbo credits, simply go to ‘Manage Hosting‘ in My20i, and select ‘Assign Website Turbo Credit’ from the ‘Options’ dropdown menu.
That’s all you need to do!
Website Turbo and HostShop
You can make Website Turbo available to purchase through HostShop, as a ‘Hosting’ add-on.
Simply choose the product name (or keep it as Website Turbo) and your pricing.

From one of your long-established re-sellers!
It is shocking that the English are to pay £4.99 for the “Website Turbo” is the same digital price of $4.99, but in reality, as a UK Re-Seller, we are being £1.21 overcharged.
Maybe we can pay in USD for both the Website Turbo and our regular hosting service of £39.99 – at a cost of $39.99 (saving $9.69 per month, or over $130 per annum!)
Hi Clive,
Our US data centre is based in Dallas, Texas and the costs associated with that are not the same as operating the UK data centre. The price difference reflects that.
Thanks,
Matt
I have to agree with Frank and Louwrens.
It does sound as though as resellers you are trying to squeeze for more money by 20i providing us with a slower service than saying…
“Hay but wait we can increase your speed to your clients but its going to cost you an extra £4.49 per month and you will have to choose which clients can afford to go that little bit faster.”
Sadly whilst we love 20I we will not recommend this to any of our clients.
Website Turbo is a great opportunity to offer High-Frequency Hosting to your clients or to reach a new audience. If you look at other web hosts who offer this high-frequency hosting, their prices are much higher than we are charging our resellers (upwards of $50 or more per month for a single site). There’s huge revenue potential to target this type of audience.
So you sell us inferior ( slow) hosting…… but now give us an option to buy the “fix” that we should already be getting for our $$$$.
Pretty embarrassing way to operate.
I’m surprised you’re getting that from this announcement. No, that isn’t the case at all.
Our autoscaling cloud platform (which powers all our reseller hosting) is vastly superior to any cPanel based reseller hosting, that is always going to be tied to a single server with restrictive resource limits.
Our resellers have a genuine cloud platform, they don’t have any LVE limits, they aren’t charged any licence fees for using a control panel, have access to a free CDN (for them and their clients), use fully redundant web, mail, database and FTP servers, get to sell genuine WordPress-optimized platform (not just a 1-click app) … I could go on.
Website Turbo introduces new technology to the mix, making something great even better. It’s also resource intensive and requires high-end hardware to run. Website Turbo isn’t appropriate or necessary for every website (e.g. local, small traffic sites), but if you’re hosting large traffic, international sites it’s a great solution to dial it up to 11.
This seems like a good idea, should provide a good stepping stone from shared to VPS/Managed. Allow to grow in scale rather than a big jump in costs (management and monthly).
My only question is the credits, I am not sure why they need to be here. The price is by website. So if we bought 50 credits, do we get the lower price? or do we have to enable 50 websites and only get the discount on the next credit purchase?
As it is per enabled site, why cant we just enable the site and the monthly fee is added to our bill. Monthly or part there of? Once 10-50 sites are enabled the discount kicks in? Would be far easy for resellers to manage as no extra work, just enable and go. Like the backups for VPS are per server, once enabled, the fee is just charged monthly?
Or are the credits designed to save on CC processing?
Either billing way, I can see the benefit of this for sure!
Hi Simon, Website Turbo is an exclusive add-on for our Reseller Hosting customers who have multiple hosting accounts to apply turbo credits to.
We already have “Lightning-fast & high-availability autoscaling cloud hosting”. I’m not sure why we have to pay extra for speeds faster than lightning. Does this mean the hosting will be throttled to force us to use the new “Website Turbo”?
What other pricing changes van we expect in the near future?
As we mention in the blog post, our autoscaling platform is already really fast. Website Turbo uses technology like pre-caching and high-compute nodes to take it up a level.
No, we aren’t throttling anyone’s hosting, that would be highly unethical and go against our principles.
To be clear, this is a new optional feature, it isn’t a price increase.
I really like this new feature, however I don’t know if I’m a big fan of the credits system just yet, especially as it’s only this one feature that uses them.
I know myself, and other resellers have been asking for the possibility of choosing which sites we wish to apply timeline backups to, could this also use the credits system to make this possible?
Great to read you like it, the credits system is a new thing for us but we feel it’s the prefect payment model for a service like Website Turbo.
With regards to Timeline Backups, we currently don’t have any plans to use credits for that service.
