A solid-state drive is much faster than any conventional hard disk. This is because a hard-disk drive employs spinning disks, that can rotate only so fast and the more info is read and written, the sluggish and hotter they become, whereas an SDD operates with modules of flash memory, hence there aren't any physically moving components. The access speeds for an SSD are significantly higher, which makes this type of drives an ideal solution any time speed is needed. Because of this SSDs are in many cases employed for the Operating System on a PC and for keeping data which is used often on web servers. Numerous providers also use a combination of both drives, so they store the data on hard-disks, but they use several solid-state drives 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 lowered as their disks have to spin less frequently to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Web Hosting

We use only SSDs on our state-of-the-art cloud hosting platform and we've eliminated all HDDs on our production servers as to offer lightning-fast loading speeds for all aspects of our services - files, e-mails and databases. Thus, any content you upload to your web hosting account will be reachable very quickly. In order to enhance the overall performance of the websites hosted on our end even more, we also use a number of SSDs that work exclusively as cache - our system saves repeatedly accessed content on them and updates it instantly. We employ this type of a configuration to make sure that resource-demanding Internet sites will not affect the performance of the other Internet sites hosted on our platform and that way all other websites can also take advantage of the speed that the SSD drives provide. Furthermore, due to the fact that the load on the main drives is reduced, their lifespan shall be longer, which is one more guarantee for the safety and integrity of your information.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you register for one of our semi-dedicated hosting solutions, we'll store your content on SSD drives and this is valid not just for the files, but also for all databases and e-mail messages. Thus, your script-driven applications and webmail will load amazingly quickly. We work with dedicated SSDs for caching too. Traffic-intensive site content is cloned automatically on these drives, so we make sure that a couple of heavy Internet sites which generate a considerable amount of reading and writing processes can't influence the other Internet sites that share the exact same drive. By reduction of the overall system load we also raise the lifespan of the main storage drives and decrease the chance of a disk failure, so by employing SSD drives for caching purposes, we add an extra level of protection for your website content.
