It uses SSD drives for fast loading times and durable storage system. Performance is further enhanced through its support for Cloudflare CDN which customers can connect to easily from their control panel. This helps in caching static content of your website thereby delivering content to your visitors quickly regardless of their location. It is also very useful in reducing your bandwidth and CPU usage on the server because Cloudflare does some of the heavy lifting.
Neostrada offers clients free SSL certificates for secure HTTPS connection. This authenticates your website, making it safe for visitors to input information into it.
