Kinsta’s [Managed WordPress Hosting](https://kinsta.com/wordpress-hosting/) platform is moving to Google Cloud’s fastest virtual machines in its Taiwan data center. Also known as asia-east1, the Taiwan data center is now the third in the region that Kinsta has dedicated to Google’s [C3D VMs](https://kinsta.com/blog/c3d-machines/), following their adoption in Jurong West (asia-southeast1) in Singapore and Mumbai (asia-south1) in India. Outside of Asia, Kinsta customers currently have access to the new VMs in eight other data centers: - Sydney, Australia (australia-southeast1) - St. Ghislain, Belgium (europe-west1) - Frankfurt, Germany (europe-west3) - Eemshaven, Netherlands (europe-west4) - Council Bluffs, Iowa, USA (us-central1) - Moncks Corner, South Carolina, USA (us-east1) - Ashburn, Virginia, USA (us-east4) - Las Vegas, Nevada, USA (us-west4) We’re migrating existing customer websites in Taiwan to the new technology for free. Meanwhile, if you are creating a new website, C3D-powered data centers like Tawain and the others above are highlighted in [MyKinsta](https://kinsta.com/mykinsta/) with the **Boosted** indicator: ![A screenshot showing the data-center selection menu in MyKinsta with some locations — including Taiwan — flagged as Boosted.](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/kinsta/original/2X/3/3e5cf48797669af2a810baec1b2130d895d49056.png)Data centers featuring C3D virtual machines are flagged as **Boosted** in MyKinsta. At Kinsta, we aim to provide customers with the fastest and most reliable hosting anywhere. We’ve built our service on the most advanced virtual machines [Google Cloud](https://kinsta.com/google-cloud-market-share/) has available in each data center. In many locations, the fastest offering is still Google’s [compute-optimized C2 VMs](https://kinsta.com/changelog/google-cloud-platform-c2-vms/). But we’ll be moving to the more powerful C3D technology wherever it becomes available at scale across the 37 data centers used by our customers. Kinsta’s [testing of C3D-based VMs](https://kinsta.com/blog/google-c3d-speed-testing/) found 20% to 50% response time improvements over those already-fast C2 machines. [What makes the C3D machines so fast](https://kinsta.com/blog/kinsta-fast-c3ds/) is technology that includes AMD’s EPYC ![™](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/kinsta/original/2X/0/020a5913c718a6207bf1c7eaf20afe3fc5a063f8.png) processor and an infrastructure processing unit (or IPU) that offloads network and storage I/O from the CPU. C2 VMs offer up to 60 virtual CPUs and 240 gigabytes of RAM. C3Ds serve up six times those resources — as many as 360 virtual CPUs and 2.88 terabytes of DDR5 memory. ## We’re all in on fast WordPress sites Google Cloud’s powerful virtual machines are just part of the story behind Kinsta’s platform. Customers also benefit from Google’s [low-latency Premium Tier network](https://kinsta.com/blog/google-cloud-network/) and 260+ Cloudflare PoPs that support our [blazingly fast CDN](https://kinsta.com/docs/wordpress-hosting/wordpress-cdn/kinsta-cdn#kinstas-cdn), [edge caching](https://kinsta.com/changelog/edge-caching/), [early hints](https://kinsta.com/changelog/early-hints/), and built-in [image optimization](https://kinsta.com/changelog/wordpress-image-optimization/).
