A solid-state drive is significantly quicker than any regular hard disk. The reason is that an HDD uses spinning disks, which can rotate only so fast and the more information is read and written, the sluggish and hotter they become, whereas an SDD employs modules of flash memory, so there are no actually moving parts. The access speeds for an SSD are much higher, which makes this sort of drives the right solution when speed is needed. This is the reason why SSDs are often used for the Operating System on a computer system and for storing data that is used often on hosting servers. A large number of providers also use a combination of both drives, so they save the data on HDDs, but they use one or more solid-state drives to cache the more frequently used data and as a result, the data loads quicker while the load on the HDDs is lowered as their disks need to spin less often to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Shared Website Hosting

Our top-notch cloud Internet hosting platform uses only SSD drives, so in case you obtain any of our shared website hosting plans, you can take full advantage of the speed that these drives provide. We no longer use hard drives, so your files, databases and e-mails will all load from ultra fast SSDs. For even greater performance, we also use caching SSDs. A number of drives are used by our system for every file which is accessed more regularly and the data on these drives is dynamically refreshed to make sure that all traffic-intensive files load from them. In this way, the load on the main drives is lowered, so we can ensure perfect performance for all sorts of websites irrespective of how frequently they're 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 primary drives and decreases the possibility of disk failure.

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 very suitable solution because they are created on a cloud platform which employs SSDs for each part of the service - emails, databases and files. That way, every site that you host here will load fast. Similar to other companies, we also use SSDs for caching, but since all storage drives are solid-state ones, you can take advantage of the top performance at all times and regardless of the type of your websites. The caching solid-state drives are used for load-balancing and all frequently accessed content is copied on them, which both minimizes the load and ensures the fantastic performance of all Internet sites which load from the main drives. The lifespan of the latter is also increased since there will be significantly less reading and writing processes on them.
