A solid-state drive is really faster than any conventional hard-disk drive. It is because a hard-disk drive employs spinning disks, which can rotate only so fast and the more info is read and written, the sluggish and warmer they get, at the same time an SDD takes advantage of modules of flash memory, hence there are no actually moving components. The access speeds for an SSD are much higher, which makes this type of drives an ideal solution in case speed is needed. That's why SSDs are often employed for the Operating System on a desktop or notebook and for keeping data that is accessed often on hosting servers. A lot of providers also use a combination of the two drives, so they keep the data on HDDs, but they use one or more solid-state drives so as to cache the more often used data and for that reason, the data loads much quicker while the load on the HDDs is decreased because their disks have to spin less often in order to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Shared Website Hosting

We use exclusively SSDs on our advanced cloud web hosting platform and we have removed all HDDs on our production servers as to offer better loading speeds for every part of our services - files, e-mails and databases. Thus, all of the content you upload to your shared website hosting account will be reachable very fast. In order to enhance the overall performance of the sites hosted on our end even further, we also use multiple SSDs that work only as cache - our system saves repeatedly accessed content on them and upgrades it without delay. We employ this type of a setup to ensure that resource-demanding sites do not affect the performance of the other Internet sites hosted on our platform and this way all other sites can also take full advantage of the speed that the SSD drives provide. What's more, since the load on the main drives is decreased, their lifespan will be longer, which is one more guarantee for the security and stability of your data.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you subscribe for one of our semi-dedicated server solutions, we'll save your content on SSD drives and this is valid not just for the files, but also for all the databases and email messages. Thus, your script-driven apps and webmail will load amazingly quickly. We work with dedicated SSDs for caching as well. Traffic-intensive website content is cloned automatically on these drives, so we make sure that a number of heavy sites which generate a lot of reading and writing processes shall not impact the other websites that share the very same drive. By reduction of the overall load we also boost the lifespan of the primary storage disks and decrease the probability of a disk failure, so by employing SSD drives for caching purposes, we add one more level of protection for your content.
