Built for speed. Every GetWebUp VPS runs on enterprise NVMe SSD with high IOPS — ideal for databases, e-commerce and high-traffic sites. KVM, full root, 10 Gbps, from our Mumbai & Delhi nodes.
NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) SSDs connect over PCIe and deliver dramatically higher IOPS and lower latency than SATA SSDs or spinning disks. For a VPS, that translates into faster database queries, lower TTFB, and the headroom to handle traffic spikes. Our India VPS range is all-NVMe by default — there's no slow tier to avoid.
| Storage type | Relative IOPS | Latency | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| HDD (SATA) | Low | High | Cold storage, backups |
| SATA SSD | Medium | Medium | General workloads |
| NVMe SSD | Very high | Very low | Databases, high-traffic, e-commerce |
MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis under heavy read/write.
WooCommerce & Magento stores that must stay fast at peak.
Busy WordPress and web apps needing low TTFB.
Docker/Kubernetes builds with fast image I/O.
For I/O-heavy workloads, yes. NVMe delivers many times the IOPS of a SATA SSD at lower latency, which shows up directly as faster database queries and lower page-load times.
It helps. When your time-to-first-byte is bound by disk reads — common on database-driven sites — faster NVMe storage lowers TTFB, especially combined with our low-latency India nodes.
No — NVMe is standard across our entire VPS range, starting at Rs. 400/mo. You don't pay a premium for fast storage.
Pick based on your RAM and CPU needs — all tiers use the same NVMe storage. For a busy database we generally recommend our mid or higher tiers. See the full VPS plans.
