A solid-state drive is much faster than any normal hard disk. The reason is that a hard-disk drive employs spinning disks, which can rotate only so fast and the more info is read and written, the slower and warmer they get, at the same time an SDD employs modules of flash memory, therefore there aren't any physically moving parts. The access speeds for an SSD are significantly higher, which makes this type of drives an ideal solution in case speed is needed. This is the reason why SSDs are frequently used for the Operating System on a PC and for saving data that is used repeatedly on servers. Many service providers also use a combination of both drives, so they save the data on hard drives, but they use several solid-state drives in order to cache the more frequently used data and due to this fact, the data loads quicker while the load on the HDDs is lowered since their disks need to spin less frequently in order to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Cloud Hosting

Our modern cloud hosting platform uses only SSD drives, so if you buy any of our cloud hosting plans, you will take full advantage of the speed that the drives provide. We no longer use hard drives, so your files, databases and e-mails will all load from ultra fast SSDs. For even improved performance, we use caching solid-state drives. A number of drives are used by our system for any file that's accessed often and the data on these drives is dynamically updated to ensure that all traffic-intensive files load from them. This way, the load on the main drives is reduced, so we can provide exceptional performance for all kinds of websites no matter how many times 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 main drives and decreases the risk of disk failure.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you sign up for one of our semi-dedicated hosting plans, we'll save your content on SSD drives and this is valid not only for the files, but also for all the databases and emails. Thus, your script-driven applications and webmail will load speedily. We work with dedicated SSDs for caching too. Traffic-intensive site content is cloned automatically on these drives, so we make sure that a few heavy websites which generate a lot of reading and writing processes shall not influence the other Internet sites which share the same drive. By reducing the overall load we also raise the lifespan of the main storage drives and lower the chance of a disk failure, so by using SSD drives for caching purposes, we add one more level of protection for your content.
