We are now offering High-Frequency web hosting by utilizing latest-gen Intel Xeon E and AMD Ryzen 7000 servers.
The majority of the web hosting industry use CPUs with high core count at lower speeds around 2.4GHz to 3.5GHz. We aim to be different by offering servers with faster CPUs with speeds over 4GHz and as high as 5.2GHz!
When it comes to hardware, the CPU speed is often the component with the largest impact on website load times.
In an ideal world, all websites would be cached, serving content directly from the storage with no PHP processing required. However, in reality, there are many occasions where PHP work+ database transactions are required. Such examples are website search queries, page or product updates, adding items to the cart and checkouts.
What is NVMe storage all about?
NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) storage represents a quantum leap in storage technology, leaving traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) and even solid-state drives (SSDs) in the dust. Here’s why NVMe storage is a game-changer for web hosting:
- Unparalleled Speed: NVMe drives leverage the lightning-fast PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) interface to deliver unprecedented data transfer speeds. With NVMe, read and write operations occur at blazingly fast rates, resulting in dramatically reduced website loading times. This translates into instant gratification for users and increased engagement on your website.
- Low Latency: NVMe storage minimizes data access delays, enabling near-instantaneous retrieval of information. This rapid responsiveness ensures swift database queries and efficient content delivery, resulting in a seamless browsing experience for your visitors. Reduced latency also benefits data-intensive applications, such as e-commerce platforms or media streaming services, where real-time access to information is critical.
- Scalability and Reliability: NVMe drives are available in a range of capacities, allowing you to scale your web hosting solution effortlessly as your business grows. Moreover, the inherent stability and durability of solid-state storage significantly reduce the risk of data loss or downtime, ensuring uninterrupted operations for your website.
Why exactly are faster CPUs so beneficial?
- Raw Processing Power: High-frequency CPUs excel at executing instructions at an accelerated pace. They boast faster clock speeds, enabling quicker data processing and computation. With high-frequency CPUs, your web hosting environment can effortlessly handle resource-intensive tasks, such as dynamic content generation, complex database operations, or server-side scripting.
- Enhanced Multitasking: High-frequency CPUs are equipped to handle multiple concurrent tasks with ease. In the context of web hosting, this means your server can efficiently manage numerous incoming requests, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted website performance even during peak traffic periods.
- Optimized Performance for Single-Threaded Applications: While many web applications are designed to take advantage of multiple threads, certain workloads are single-threaded and can benefit greatly from high-frequency CPUs. If your website relies heavily on such applications, a high-frequency CPU will provide the necessary horsepower to deliver exceptional performance.
