Name Hero Network Speed Test

We get a lot of pre-sale questions with potential customers asking to test the speed of our network from their location.

Given our high-speed cloud with Solid State Drives, LiteSpeed Web Server, and MariaDB people from all over the world choose us as their web hosting provider.

Since we’re integrated directly with Cloudflare and their Railgun technology, international customers are actually able to achieve very high page loads from our servers based here in the United States.

Test Your Upload/Download Speed

Still yet, it’s always good to test from your own local network for latency.  Therefore we’ve setup a free speed test here:

Here’s what a speed test from my location looks like:
As you can see, the speed is just blazing fast for me :).

A couple takeaways though:

• This test works best in Chrome browser
• Your local Internet Service Provider plays a big role in this (i.e. connection speed)
• I tested the above using my 1GGbps Google Fiber Connection
• If I test on my Verizon iPhone I’m around 25Mbps

One of the biggest thing you’ll notice about Name Hero is we’ve invested a lot of money into both the hardware and software the make-up our infrastructure.  Technically speaking, many in the web hosting industry wouldn’t imagine using our specs for shared servers.

Therefore you should notice a substantial increase in page load if you’re moving over from one of the “big brands” such as HostGator, BlueHost, etc.
