A solid-state drive is significantly faster than any normal hard disk. This is because an HDD works by using rotating disks, that can rotate only so fast and the more information is read and written, the slower and warmer they get, at the same time an SDD operates with modules of flash memory, hence there are no actually moving parts. The access speeds for an SSD are considerably higher, which makes these drives the best solution in case speed is needed. That's why SSDs are frequently employed for the Operating System on a home PC and for keeping data which is used repeatedly on web servers. Many providers also use a combination of the two drives, so they store the data on hard drives, but they use a couple of SSDs to cache the more often used data and for that reason, the data loads a lot faster while the load on the HDDs is decreased since their disks have to spin less often in order to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Shared Website Hosting

Our state-of-the-art cloud web hosting platform uses solely SSD drives, so in case you obtain any of our shared website hosting solutions, you'll take full advantage of the speed that the drives provide. We no longer use hard disks, so your files, databases and emails will all open from quick SSDs. For even greater performance, we use caching solid-state drives. A number of drives are used by our system for any file that's accessed more often and the data on these drives is dynamically updated to make sure that all the traffic-intensive files load from them. That way, the load on the main drives is decreased, so we can guarantee excellent performance for all Internet sites regardless of how often they are accessed and prevent a situation where some websites are affected by an excessive number of reading and writing processes created by others. This setup also increases the lifespan of the main drives and decreases the chance of disk failure.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you sign up for one of our semi-dedicated hosting plans, we will save your content on SSD drives and this is valid not only for the files, but also for all the databases and e-mails. That way, your script-driven apps and webmail will load very fast. We work with dedicated SSDs for caching as well. Traffic-intensive content is cloned automatically on these drives, so we make sure that a few heavy websites that generate a lot of reading and writing processes won't influence the other Internet sites which share the exact same drive. By reduction of the overall load we also boost the lifespan of the primary storage disks and lower the possibility of a disk failure, so by employing SSD drives for caching purposes, we add an additional level of stability for your website content.
