This assures NO resource overselling so that every web hosting server can utilize 100% dedicated resources.

All storage units are native SSD based except for the backups, which are stored remotely on a block storage service, which is HDD based. This means that all the files and databases of our customers' WordPress websites can take advantage of the fast Read/Write speed granted by the SSD Storage. Furthermore, the Storage Array of our Cloud technology is utilizing RAID 10 configuration for optimal data integrity and even faster requests processing!

Therefore, we are proud to say that all our Dedicated CPU Servers are utilizing RAID 10 configuration through a separate RAID controller.
