Hosting glossary
SSD and NVMe storage
In short: Fast flash storage for your site's files and database. NVMe is the faster kind.
SSDs (solid-state drives) are much faster than old spinning hard drives. NVMe SSDs connect over a faster interface than standard SATA SSDs, which helps databases and busy sites.
Check how much storage you get, and whether it includes email and backups.
