CPU (Processing Power)

The central processing unit of a server that executes instructions, directly influencing how fast hosting tasks and applications are handled.

The CPU, or Central Processing Unit, is the part of your hosting server that handles all the heavy lifting. Every request, script, and task goes through it. The more powerful the CPU, the faster your website responds, especially during busy traffic periods. On shared servers, CPU power is divided among users, while VPS and dedicated plans offer more control and consistency. Choosing the right amount of CPU power ensures your site stays fast and reliable. It's the brain of your hosting environment, turning user actions into quick, seamless responses that keep visitors engaged.
