Blog: Benefits of 64-bit Hosting and Computing.

We recieve many questions on this subject and I thought i would post some information on the architecture to help clear up the basics of 64bit Computing and Hosting.

In a nutshell 64 bit Systems process data in larger chunks than 32 bit computers.

a) Programs written to support 64-bit processors will generally perform faster than a 32-bit processor of the same speed. This is mainly due to the fact 32-bit computers must handle 64-bit numbers in two steps, whereas 64-bit computers only need to use one step.

b) 64-bit processors address more memory (RAM) than 32-bit processors. This means the server can have more RAM, and also store more data in memory, making memory-intensive programs like databases faster.

Another major benefit to 64-bit computing is security in the form of better cryptography. The architecture's capability to address larger integers means encryption algorithms can use keys with larger numbers, improving the overall security of the scheme.
