A solid-state drive is considerably quicker than any conventional hard disk. This is because an HDD employs spinning disks, that can rotate only so fast and the more information is read and written, the sluggish and hotter they get, while an SDD employs modules of flash memory, so there are no physically moving parts. The access speeds for an SSD are drastically higher, which makes this sort of drives an ideal solution if speed is needed. That's why SSDs are often employed for the Operating System on a personal computer and for keeping data which is used frequently on hosting servers. Numerous service providers also use a combination of both drives, so they save the data on hard drives, but they use several solid-state drives so as to cache the more frequently used data and as a result, the data loads quicker while the load on the HDDs is lowered as their disks need to spin less frequently to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Cloud Web Hosting

We use solely SSDs on our advanced cloud web hosting platform and we have removed all HDDs on the production servers in order to provide outstanding loading speeds for every aspect of our services - files, e-mails and databases. This way, all the content you upload to your cloud web hosting account will be reachable very fast. In order to enhance the overall performance of the Internet sites hosted on our end even more, we also use multiple SSDs which work exclusively as cache - our system stores often accessed content on them and updates it instantly. We use this kind of a setup to make sure that traffic-intensive sites do not affect the performance of the other sites hosted on our platform and this way all other Internet sites can also take full advantage of the speed which the SSD drives provide. In addition, due to the fact that the load on the main drives is reduced, their life-span shall be longer, which is one more warranty for the safety and integrity of your information.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All semi-dedicated hosting accounts that we provide are generated on a cloud platform which uses only SSD drives. We don't use HDDs anymore, so your sites will load quickly since we employ SSDs for all aspects of the service - files, databases and email addresses. As some people may host websites that are more popular than others, we also use numerous drives for caching. Our system identifies any content which is accessed more often and copies it on these drives so as to load it from them. This configuration is used for load-balancing purposes as we ensure that several reading/writing intensive sites will not affect the performance of the rest of the websites which are stored on the very same main drive. Using caching drives also raises the lifespan of the main storage SSDs and reduces the potential for disk failures.
