Moved to RackNerd after 11 years at old host. POWERFUL Ryzen servers!
After 11 years with my previous hosting provider the final straw for me to migrate to another provider was when I realized my previous host was not offering me upgrade paths, and was still using ancient hardware. My old host was still using Core2 Quad CPU’s (what a blast from the past I kid you not), and while it did the job and kept my sites loading, I recently felt there was room for improvement in terms of website loading speed and optimizations. I came across Racknerd (RN) when I was searching for some new options. I considered a few other providers on my list - but Racknerd provided the best mixture of value, price and newer hardware configuration’s. So when I found out RN had Ryzen servers, I was really glad to see since I know those CPU’s are the new thing and offers great performance. So I picked up a Ryzen 3900X box with 2 NVMe drive’s, the price was lower than anyone else I could find offering a similar configuration. And, after migrating I IMMEDIATELY noticed the improvement! My website’s load faster than ever — a HUGE improvement from my old host’s Core2 Quad!! It wasn’t long before my clients also told me they feel the improvement. These things are POWERFUL. Things have been running smoothly without hiccup. I am the type of customer to set things up and leave it the way they are for many years (if you couldn’t tell as I was with my previous host for 11 years…) so I look forward to working with RN for over a decade to come!! Maybe in a half dozen years or so I will contact them when I want to upgrade to something more powerful. But I feel like the Ryzen will have me covered for a pretty darn long time, especially if a Core2 Quad worked fine for me for so long. Unless my clients or my site’s end up making it on the news or HN and experience an unprecedented surge of traffic LOL. Either way I am super happy about the performance now and my server load is nowhere close to being fully max’d out. So with this config I will probably be pretty “future proof”. Another thing I like about them is their live support is online 24x7 though I will be honest, I am the type of customer to try to not bother anyone so long things are working the way they should be :-)
