Server Migration
The migration to our new server was completed successfully. This new server will have twice as many physical CPUs, nearly three times as many CPU cores, and twice the CPU clock speed. It will have four times the RAM, and we are moving from classic spinning hard disk drives to solid-state NVMe M.2 drives. All this spells SPEED — and that is a great thing.”
Plus, the operating system and caching software in use are new technologies and fast,

FAQs
he new server runs dual AMD Ryzen 7 5700G 8-Core processors at 3,000 MHz (16 cores total), 64GB of DDR4 3200MHz RAM, and 3TB of NVMe SSD storage using two Samsung 990 EVO drives. The operating system was upgraded to CloudLinux, a platform optimized for web hosting stability and performance.
The new hardware delivers dramatically faster processing power, more available memory, and significantly faster storage compared to the previous server. NVMe SSDs in particular can be many times faster than traditional spinning hard drives, which directly translates into faster website load times, quicker database queries, and a better overall experience for your visitors.
NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) SSDs are a type of solid-state storage that communicates directly with a server's processor at extremely high speeds — far faster than traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) or even older SATA SSDs. For websites, this means faster file access, quicker page loads, and improved performance under traffic spikes.
CloudLinux is a specialized Linux operating system designed specifically for web hosting environments. It isolates each hosting account in its own secure container, meaning one client's website cannot consume resources that impact another's performance. This makes the overall server more stable, secure, and consistent for every client hosted on it.
The migration was carried out with minimal disruption to client websites. A small number of minor growing pains were experienced during the transition, all of which were addressed promptly. If you are still experiencing any issues you believe may be related to the server move, please contact our support team and we will investigate right away.
