A solid-state drive is considerably quicker than any regular hard disk. This is because an HDD works by using spinning disks, which can rotate only so fast and the more data is read and written, the slower and warmer they get, whereas an SDD uses modules of flash memory, hence there are no actually moving components. The access speeds for an SSD are significantly higher, which makes this type of drives an ideal solution when speed is needed. That's why SSDs are in many cases used for the Operating System on a PC and for keeping data that is used repeatedly on web servers. A large number of providers also use a combination of the two drives, so they store the data on hard drives, but they use several SSDs so as to cache the more often used data and due to this fact, the data loads much quicker while the load on the HDDs is decreased since their disks need to spin less often in order to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Hosting

Our modern cloud website hosting platform employs exclusively SSD drives, so in case you get any of our hosting packages, you'll take advantage of the speed that these drives provide. We no longer use hard drives, so your files, databases and e-mail messages will all open from high-speed SSDs. For even better performance, we also use caching solid-state drives. A number of drives are used by our system for each file which is accessed more frequently and the data on these drives is dynamically updated in order to make sure that all the traffic-intensive files load from them. That way, the load on the primary drives is lowered, so we can provide excellent performance for all sorts of sites regardless of how many times they are accessed and avoid 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 reduces the risk of disk failure.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you subscribe for one of our semi-dedicated hosting solutions, we will store your content on SSD drives and this is valid not only for the files, but also for all databases and email messages. This way, your script-driven applications and webmail will load very fast. We use dedicated SSDs for caching too. Traffic-intensive content is duplicated automatically on these drives, so we ensure that several heavy Internet sites which generate a considerable amount of reading and writing processes will not affect the other websites which share the exact same drive. By reduction of the overall system load we also increase the lifespan of the primary storage drives and decrease the possibility of a disk failure, so by employing SSD drives for caching purposes, we add one more level of protection for your content.
