Your NVMe VPS
Journey Starts Here

The sky's the limit when it comes to the design and look of your online store, website, or blog. A site that is welcoming, nice to look at and just plain cool can capture the attention of users and customers alike. However, functionality, security and flawless performance is what will keep users on your site and have them returning time and time again.

The cutting edge protocols utilized in NVMe technology makes it a superior choice for website owners who value a positive user experience, top-notch security, and unlimited potential for growth. NVMe stands for non-volatile memory express and is the latest protocol developed to work with the already existing solid state drives (SSDs).

NVMe hosting has many advantages over previous technology. It provides significantly faster data transfer speeds, as much as six times faster than standard hosting, and enables much higher response times, which translates into a better user experience. Additionally, NVMe is incredibly stable and secure as indicated in its “non-volatile” title. Stored data is retained regardless of power disruptions and outages and keeps data safe whether the system is on or off. Finally, NVMe hosting is upgradable, and can support mixed workloads which makes it virtually future-proof.

A positive user experience is a common goal among website owners, bloggers and online retailers. A successful site must be visually attractive, intuitive to navigate and free of bottlenecks and lag-time. When it comes to website performance and user satisfaction, speed is the name of the game.

SSD (Solid State Drives) technology commonly stores data in a type of flash storage called NAND. While this type of storage is an improvement over hard disc drives, it also has serious limitations with regards to speed and storage protocols due to its reliance on the SATA interface.

NVMe protocols were developed to solve the speed limitations inherent in the SSD-SATA interface. NVMe utilizes PCIe technology that connects directly to the CPU which enables significantly faster speeds, increased reliability and enhanced performance.

The data transfer speed difference between SSD and NVMe is significant. A traditional SSD connection through a SATA interface will handle 10,000 IOP’s per second and 550 MB/s of data, whereas the average NVMe interface manages a whopping 640,000 IOP’s and 3200 MB/s of data. The numbers don’t lie. NVMe offers 6X faster data transfer speeds and 60X improved IOP performance.

The increased capacity and speed offered by NVMe hosting could be a game changer for website owners looking to level up performance and positive user experience.

Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) is a data storage interface that is perfectly suited to use on a server, in fact, NVMe technology has many advantages over traditional server technology that may make it a better option.

NVMe allows drives to use PCI Express connection directly to the CPU which enables servers to provide significant improvements in speed, performance, efficiency, compatibility and security. Due to NVMe’s multiple information buses, the data transfer rate is much faster than the traditional SATA interface and as technology advances, even higher transfer rates are expected. NVMe technology accesses the same lanes that connect directly to the CPU. This access offers increased scalability and performance when compared with the limited four lanes in most solid state drivers.

The amount of power consumed by NVMe drives is extremely low, particularly in stand-by mode. Some estimates have shown a 97 perfect reduction in power usage when compared with older technology that is commonly used. NVMe is able to work with all major operating systems, is upgradable and also has backward compatibility. NVMe is considered future-proof, in that it has the capability of continued use and adaptability for the foreseeable future. NVMe storage protocol is compatible with the safety standards set for the industry. In addition, because it is non-volatile in its design and permanent by nature, your date is safe regardless of power outages and shut-downs.

Absolutely! Any CMS based website will greatly benefit from the speeds of an NVMe drive due to their constant need for read/write processes. Some examples being WordPress, Joomla, Magento, etc.

Websites running these platforms will usually see noticable increase in performance when placed on a server utilizing NVMe as they benefit from the access speeds provided. Generally, any database driven website is going to benefit from utilizing NVMe.
