Ever logged onto a website, and said to yourself, "Why is this taking so long?" I sure have. The good news: hosting companies are offering something that loads faster: NVMe SSDs. These drives make websites load extremely fast, and run extremely fast.
They use a direct PCIe connection, and avoids latency, and gives you higher read and write speeds. Fast loading sites, better running applications, and an all-around seamless experience.
Did you ever upgrade hosting, and it still feels like your site is sluggish? Most likely, you got regular SSDs and not NVMe.
• Shared Hosting: Hosting Companies such as A2 Hosting and SiteGround now use NVMe technology to speed up WordPress and small websites.
• VPS Hosting: Hosting Companies such as Hostinger and InMotion are using NVMe technology for growing websites, where speed means more sales.
• Dedicated Servers: Some premium Hosting Companies will provide you with NVMe RAID setups and super-fast storage for larger projects.
• Cloud Hosting: Even Cloud Hosting Platforms are seeing NVMe technologies being added to the boards so that you can gain speed with scalability.
In the past, hosting services would essentially market speed as an enhancement. Today, speed has surpassed all other attributes as the most important selling feature for customers, as the speed of a site affects an individual's or business' SEO, user experience, and conversions.
In my experience after you switch over to NVMe you won't go back to a SATA SSD. It's like going from what I call "Port a Phone" Internet, which provides limited speed, to new fiber Internet, you'll feel the difference immediately.
