Innovation in Linux Server-Side Compression Technology

Optimize Hosting Tech’s new software package allows for Images as well as HTML and text to be compressed, increasing website download time, and resulting in huge bandwidth and server space savings.

The software works by combining mod_gzip technology and an advanced image compressor to reduce the file size of images, HTML and text files on servers. The resulting web pages and images create a reduction in server bandwidth usage, and actual server space. This means that servers are able to respond faster, making much better use of available bandwidth.

This type of compression technology has been around for a while. Reducing the size of web pages and text, but the real innovation comes in with Optimize Hosting Tech’s new software. It now allows for images to be compressed as well, giving an even greater reduction in file size.

The potential advantages for any Server Providers and Webmasters planning to use this software are huge. Such a noticeable reduction in server space and bandwidth usage will allow for more clients to be accommodated per server. Dedicated servers hosting larger volume sites will see the biggest reduction in space and bandwidth usage. E-commerce sites will especially benefit, as they usually contain thousands of product images and graphics.

Roderick Coleman, Owner of Optimize Hosting Technology said, “Our new software utilizes advanced image compression technology allowing Server Providers, Webmasters, and website owners the opportunity to save bandwidth and server space.” He continued to say, “It is possible that on some of the larger E-commerce sites this saving could be as much as 50%.”

“The beauty of the technology is that it allows images, as well as HTML and text to be compressed. That’s where we differ from the competition, and how our software users can really benefit,” adds Roderick.

“Server providers will be pleased, as their clients’ websites load much faster, and they can monitor, through detailed statistics, how much space and bandwidth they are actually saving. It could prove to be a valuable tool that they can offer Free to clients as part of their hosting packages!”
