2.5 Gbit Network Connectivity
2.5 Gbit Network Connectivity - what does it exactly mean and what are the true advantages of having it?
The network capacity of a server determines how fast your Internet sites shall open and how many people shall be able to visit them concurrently. Of course, this isn't the only factor, but it's a very important one. On one side, regardless how optimized a particular Internet site may be, bad connectivity would mean low loading speeds or maybe even service interruptions, particularly when only one Internet provider is used to access the hosting server. On the other hand, an excellent connection with small capacity will permit just a small number of visitors to check out the website all at once, while new visitors shall have hard time loading any content. In this sense, the success of your Internet site depends not just on the content, but also on the site’s accessibility and loading speed. These two elements are determined by the connection the hosting server uses.
