A solid-state drive is noticeably faster than any normal hard disk. It is because an HDD works by using rotating disks, which can rotate only so fast and the more data is read and written, the slower and warmer they get, whereas an SDD works with modules of flash memory, hence there are no actually moving components. The access speeds for an SSD are much higher, which makes this kind of drives the best solution any time speed is needed. That's why SSDs are often employed for the Operating System on a computer system and for storing data that is accessed regularly on web servers. A large number of service providers also use a combination of the two drives, so they save the data on HDDs, but they use one or more SSDs so as to cache the more often used data and as a result, the data loads much quicker while the load on the HDDs is decreased because their disks need to spin less frequently in order to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Shared Hosting

The cloud platform where we make shared hosting accounts uses exclusively SSD drives, so your web applications and static websites will open very quickly. The SSDs are used for files, emails and databases, so no matter if you load a page or check for new email messages using webmail, the content will load without delay. In order to offer even better speeds, we also use multiple dedicated SSDs that work only as cache. All of the content which generates a lot of traffic is copied on them automatically and is later on read from them and not from the primary storage drives. Of course, that content is replaced dynamically for better performance. What we achieve that way in addition to the better speed is lowered overall load, thus reduced possibility of hardware failures, and longer lifespan of the main drives, which is one more level of protection for any information that you upload to your account.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you want speed and top-notch performance for your Internet sites, our semi-dedicated hosting accounts shall be a very suitable solution since they are generated on a cloud platform which employs SSDs for each part of the service - emails, databases and files. This way, each and every website that you host on our end will load fast. Similar to other service providers, we also use SSDs for caching, but since all storage drives are solid-state ones, you will be able to take advantage of the top-notch performance all of the time and irrespective of the nature of your Internet sites. The caching solid-state drives are used for load-balancing and all the frequently accessed content is copied to them, which both lowers the load and guarantees the good performance of all Internet sites which load directly from the main drives. The lifespan of the latter will also be increased because there will be a lot less reading and writing processes on them.
