Hosting Just Got Faster (Again)

Hosting Just Got Faster (Again)

May 10, 2025

We’ve completed a major upgrade to our hosting infrastructure focused on speed, scalability, and long-term reliability. All clients have already been migrated automatically — no action required.

Upgrade Objective

The goal was to reduce latency, improve global performance, and prepare our platform for continued growth. The upgrade targeted both hardware and software layers, with measurable improvements across all hosting tiers.

Hardware Improvements

We replaced all previous-generation SSDs with NVMe drives across our shared, VPS, and dedicated hosting environments. This alone resulted in significant gains in disk read/write performance, particularly under high-load scenarios such as CMS-based sites and database-driven applications.

  • Object caching (Memcached/Redis) for dynamic applications
  • Full-page caching for static assets
  • Smarter cache invalidation rules for CMS platforms

All plans now come with pre-configured caching by default, requiring no manual setup from users.

Network & Delivery Enhancements

HTTP/3 is now enabled across our entire CDN edge layer, along with Brotli compression for smaller payloads. Internal routing was optimized to reduce latency between availability zones. DNS resolution times improved due to smarter resolver distribution.

Benchmark Results

Post-deployment tests across 50+ client sites showed the following:

  • Average page load time improved by 36%
  • Time to First Byte (TTFB) reduced by an average of 210 ms
  • Uptime remains at 99.99% SLA level
  • Dynamic CMS sites (WordPress, Joomla) showed the highest relative gains

Developer & API Impact

Our staging environments, deployment CLI, and control panel API also benefit from the new architecture. Script execution time is faster, and environment spins occur in under 10 seconds on average.

Wrapping up

This upgrade is part of our ongoing commitment to hosting speed and reliability. No price increases, no disruption — just better performance across the board. All new clients benefit immediately, and current clients already live on the enhanced stack.
