Kinsta’s Managed WordPress Hosting has added two more locations — Mumbai in India, and Las Vegas, Nevada, in the USA — to the list of data centers where Google Cloud’s fastest C3D virtual machines are the default platform.
The Mumbai data center is also known as asia-south1, and Las Vegas is us-west4. They bring the total number of Kinsta’s C3D-powered data centers to 10, along with these locations:
- Jurong West, Singapore (asia-southeast1)
- Sydney, Australia (australia-aoutheast1)
- St. Ghislain, Belgium (europe-west1)
- Frankfurt, Germany (europe-west3)
- Eemshaven, Netherlands (europe-west4)
- Council Bluffs, Iowa, USA (us-central1)
- Moncks Corner, South Carolina, USA (us-east1)
- Ashburn, Virginia, USA (us-east4)
Customers creating new websites can spot the C3D-enabled data centers in MyKinsta by looking for the Boosted indicator when selecting a site location:
Customers who already have websites in Mumbai and Las Vegas will soon have their sites migrated to faster machines.
Kinsta’s services are built on the most advanced virtual machines Google Cloud has available. In many of its data centers, Google’s compute-optimized C2 VMs still reign. Our testing of C3D-based VMs found speed improvements of 20% to 50% over C2 technology that is already pretty snappy. That’s why Kinsta will be adopting C3D VMs in other regions as Google makes them widely available in more data centers.
AMD’s EPYC™ processor and an infrastructure processing unit (or IPU) that Google developed with Intel to offload network and storage I/O from the CPU are two of the reasons C3D VMs are so fast.
While the C2 VMs support a maximum of 60 virtual CPUs and 240 gigabytes of RAM, C3Ds deliver six times those resources — up to 360 virtual CPUs and 2.88 terabytes of DDR5 memory.
As Kinsta adopts the C3D platform in more data centers, boosted WordPress sites will be performing faster than ever before.
