We are excited to announce that we have added a new data center and CDN location in Madrid, Spain. This has been one of the most requested services by our customers in Spain but it took us some time to take this step, trying to find a balance between location and real performance. When Google Cloud, where our platform is built, finally announced the launch of the new location in Madrid, we knew it was the perfect opportunity and began the process of adding this location to our network as well.
Data center in Madrid
Over the years, we have grown our data center network by choosing locations that were not only close to our customers' locations, but also by checking a long list of requirements such as fast connectivity, high availability, security, energy efficiency, and support. That's why we started working with Google Cloud and today, all our data centers are part of their modern infrastructure that meets all our requirements.
When choosing which data center is best for you, you need to consider where the majority of your web traffic comes from. If your website is predominantly visited from Spain, the data center in Madrid is the best option for you, as it shortens the distance between your website, your visitors, and the hosting. If, on the other hand, you are a customer living in Spain but selling internationally, you can take advantage of any of the other data center locations.
With our new data center, websites hosted in Madrid and visited by users in the same area will have a much faster loading speed. This drastic reduction in latency , benefited by geographic proximity combined with Google's unrivaled network, results in a much faster page loading speed if all other conditions, such as internet connection, remain equal.
Energy efficiency
It is important to note that thanks to the adoption of renewable energy korea whatsapp number data in Spain, the Madrid region is classified as a low carbon dioxide emissions zone, which maximizes energy efficiency and sustainability . As we have already mentioned on several occasions, green energy and reducing our carbon footprint are challenges that we are continuously working on.
Our new data center in Madrid is now available for all our shared and cloud hosting plans. From now on, all new customer accounts in Spain will use the Madrid data center by default, while existing customers can request a migration to the data center via the Client Area.
CDN in Madrid
Our CDN service is used by thousands of websites with traffic from different geographic areas to optimize global loading speed. The CDN ensures that a copy of your website is accessible from a location close to your visitors around the world.
With the launch of our new CDN location in Madrid we are providing an option for websites with traffic from Spain and around the world to increase loading speeds by simply activating the CDN. We recommend all our clients to activate the CDN service. This can be done completely free of charge from Site Tools > Speed > CDN.
