A solid-state drive is substantially quicker than any standard hard disk. The reason is that a hard-disk drive uses rotating disks, which can rotate only so fast and the more data is read and written, the sluggish and warmer they get, at the same time an SDD works with modules of flash memory, hence there aren't any actually moving parts. The access speeds for an SSD are drastically higher, which makes this type of drives a preferred solution in case speed is needed. This is the reason why SSDs are frequently employed for the Operating System on a computer system and for storing data which is used frequently on hosting servers. A lot of service providers also use a combination of the two drives, so they keep the data on HDDs, but they use a couple of solid-state drives to cache the more frequently used data and as a result, the data loads a lot faster while the load on the HDDs is decreased because their disks have to spin less often to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Shared Hosting

We use solely SSDs on our cutting-edge cloud web hosting platform and we've removed all HDDs on the production servers as to provide improved loading speeds for every aspect of our services - files, emails and databases. That way, any content which you upload to your shared hosting account will be reachable amazingly quickly. To boost the overall performance of the websites hosted on our end even further, we also use multiple SSDs that function only as cache - our system saves often accessed content on them and upgrades it without delay. We use this type of a configuration to make sure that multi-media heavy sites don't influence the performance of the other Internet sites hosted on our platform and this way all other sites can also take advantage of the speed which the SSD drives provide. In addition, since the load on the main drives is reduced, their lifespan shall be longer, which is one more guarantee for the security and stability of your information.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you register for one of our semi-dedicated hosting solutions, we will hold your content on SSD drives and this is valid not only for the files, but also for all the databases and e-mail messages. This way, your script-driven apps and webmail will load amazingly quickly. We work with dedicated SSDs for caching as well. Traffic-intensive site content is copied automatically on these drives, so we ensure that a number of heavy websites that generate plenty of reading and writing processes will not affect the other sites which share the very same drive. By reduction of the overall load we also increase the lifespan of the main storage drives and lower the chance of a disk failure, so by employing SSD drives for caching purposes, we add an additional level of protection for your website content.
