A solid-state drive is significantly faster than any standard hard disk. It is because a hard-disk drive uses spinning disks, that can rotate only so fast and the more info is read and written, the slower and warmer they become, while an SDD works with modules of flash memory, therefore there aren't any actually moving components. The access speeds for an SSD are significantly higher, which makes this kind of drives a recommended solution if speed is needed. This is the reason why SSDs are in many cases used for the Operating System on a desktop or notebook and for keeping data that's used regularly on web servers. A lot of providers also use a combination of both drives, so they store the data on hard disk drives, but they use one or more SSDs in order to cache the more frequently used data and as a result, the data loads quicker 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

We use only SSDs on our top-notch cloud hosting platform and we've eliminated all HDDs on our production servers as to offer better loading speeds for every aspect of our services - files, emails and databases. This way, all the content that you upload to your web hosting account will be accessible amazingly quickly. In order to improve the overall performance of the websites hosted on our end even more, we also use multiple SSDs which work solely as cache - our system stores regularly accessed content on them and upgrades it instantly. We employ this type of a setup to make sure that traffic-intensive Internet sites will not affect the performance of the other sites hosted on our platform and that way all other websites 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 lifespan shall be longer, that is one more guarantee for the safety and stability of your info.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you need speed and fantastic performance for your websites, our semi-dedicated hosting accounts will be a really suitable solution since they're created on a cloud platform that employs SSDs for each aspect of the service - e-mail addresses, databases and files.

Just like other companies, we also use SSDs for caching, but since all storage drives are solid-state ones, you will be able to take advantage of the good performance all the time and regardless of the nature of your websites. The caching solid-state drives are used for load-balancing and all the frequently accessed content is copied on them, which both minimizes the load and guarantees the fantastic performance of all Internet sites which load from the main drives. The lifespan of the latter is also increased as there will be significantly less reading and writing processes on them.
