MixHost, a cloud-based rental server that combines the ease of use of traditional rental servers with the scalability benefits of the cloud, based on the concept of "a cloud service easily accessible to individuals and small businesses," is the first in Japan to support the next-generation high-speed HTTP protocol "HTTP/2," providing a fast and highly secure rental server.

In recent years, the increasing complexity of websites and the widespread adoption of smartphones and other devices have made faster, more secure communication environments indispensable.
The next-generation HTTP protocol "HTTP/2" is a faster and more secure HTTP communication protocol based on SPDY, Google's proprietary protocol, which is significantly faster than the conventional "HTTP/1.1".

Supporting HTTP/2 makes websites load faster, and on LTE and 3G connections used by smartphones, you'll see even greater improvements in loading speeds.
Our tests confirmed that depending on the site's structure, loading speeds can improve by a factor of several to dozens of times.

All major web browsers, including Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Edge, support HTTP/2. By simply using an HTTP/2-compatible server, users can benefit from improved user experience without any conscious effort on their part.

Google, Facebook, Twitter, and others also support HTTP/2. Overseas, it is gradually becoming more common even on personal rental servers, and it is expected that supporting HTTP/2 will become standard practice going forward.
However, within Japan, there were no paid rental servers supporting HTTP/2, and since SSL support was also required simultaneously, the technical, cost, and procedural complexities created a high barrier to entry, making implementation difficult.

The new HTTP/2 service we are launching can be naturally implemented without conscious effort by utilizing MixHost's unique free SSL.
No complicated setup is required. Simply change the beginning of your website URL to "https://" to use both free custom SSL and HTTP/2.
This enables free, unlimited SSL encryption and HTTP/2 support for all custom domains, subdomains, and default domains used with MixHost.

【1】Unbeatably low prices starting at just ¥968 per month
￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣
We offer five plans starting from just ¥968 per month—an exceptionally low price for a cloud service.

【2】The Pursuit of Ultimate Speed
￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣
For example, research shows that a mere 2-second increase in website loading time can lead to a 501% increase in bounce rate.
Therefore, we are the first in Japan to adopt LiteSpeed Enterprise—a server that is tens to thousands of times faster than Apache, the standard web server, while maintaining full compatibility and offering complete HTTP/2 support. By combining this with our latest high-spec servers featuring pure SSD configurations and Japan's largest backbone at 732Gbps, we deliver overwhelming high performance.

【3】Optimized for WordPress
￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣
By providing LiteSpeed's proprietary caching feature, "LiteSpeed Cache," as standard—capable of handling overwhelming traffic spikes of thousands of requests per second—we deliver performance that rivals even dedicated WordPress clouds.

【4】Highly Advanced Features
￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣
All plans include unlimited multi-domain support, databases, and email addresses, allowing you to manage multiple websites under a single contract.
We support the latest PHP 7, of course, along with numerous other features such as MySQL, SSH, and Cron. We also provide easy installation for hundreds of popular applications, including WordPress.

【5】The Best of Both Worlds: Cloud and Rental Servers
￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣
While maintaining the ease of use of a shared server, we independently control server resources for each contract. This minimizes the impact of other users and enables us to provide a stable service.
Furthermore, resource scaling can be performed instantly with zero downtime, ensuring peace of mind even during sudden spikes in traffic.

【6】Peace of Mind Security
￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣
We provide free SSL certificates from COMODO, the world's No. 1 SSL provider, which encrypts your website and effectively enhances security and SEO. Additionally, we offer WAF to defend against unauthorized intrusions through web applications, virus scanning for both email and web, and spam email filtering as standard features, ensuring you can use our services with peace of mind.

【7】Peace of Mind Backup
￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣
All customer data is automatically backed up once daily to backup servers located in three remote locations.
Additionally, since we retain data for a certain period, it is possible to recover data even if it is accidentally deleted.

【8】Industry-leading 30-day free trial
￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣
We offer an industry-leading 30-day free trial period, allowing you to thoroughly test our product until you're fully satisfied and experience its comfort and ease of use.
