A solid-state drive is much quicker than any regular hard-disk drive. This is because an HDD works by using rotating disks, that can rotate only so fast and the more info is read and written, the slower and hotter they become, while an SDD works with modules of flash memory, so there aren't any physically moving components. The access speeds for an SSD are a lot higher, which makes this type of drives an ideal solution if speed is needed. This is the reason why SSDs are often employed for the Operating System on a personal computer and for storing data that is accessed repeatedly on web servers. Many providers also use a combination of the two drives, so they save the data on hard disk drives, but they use several solid-state drives so as to cache the more frequently used data and because of this, the data loads faster while the load on the HDDs is decreased because their disks need to spin less often to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Web Hosting

Our top-notch cloud website hosting platform uses only SSD drives, so if you acquire any of our web hosting solutions, you'll take advantage of the speed that these drives provide. We no longer use HDDs, so your files, databases and e-mails will all open from extremely fast SSDs. For even improved performance, we use caching solid-state drives. A number of drives are used by our system for any file that's accessed more frequently and the data on these drives is dynamically refreshed to make sure that all traffic-intensive files load from them. This way, the load on the main drives is lowered, so we can guarantee excellent performance for all kinds of sites no matter how often they are accessed and prevent a situation where some sites are affected by too many reading and writing processes generated by others. This setup also increases the lifespan of the primary drives and reduces the possibility of disk failure.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you subscribe for one of our semi-dedicated hosting plans, we'll store your content on SSD drives and this is valid not just for the files, but also for all of the databases and emails. Thus, your script-driven apps and webmail will load amazingly quickly. We employ dedicated SSDs for caching too. Traffic-intensive website content is copied automatically on these drives, so we make sure that a number of heavy websites which generate a large amount of reading and writing processes can't influence the other websites which share the very same drive. By reduction of the overall system load we also boost the lifespan of the main storage drives and decrease the chance of a disk failure, so by using SSD drives for caching purposes, we add an extra level of security for your website content.
