Bluehost Agency Hosting PHP Workers

Ever wondered how your Bluehost Agency hosting servers get their processing power? The answer lies in PHP Workers or vCPU threads! These virtual threads allow your servers to tap into the muscle of your physical CPU cores. Agency Hosting PHP Workers or vCPU threads are virtual CPU threads that enable servers to utilize the processing power of the underlying physical CPU. This means that a server with multiple vCPUs can use the physical CPU's processing capabilities, improving performance, especially for multi-threaded applications.
