A solid-state drive is considerably quicker than any conventional hard-disk drive. This is because a hard-disk drive employs spinning disks, that can rotate only so fast and the more information is read and written, the sluggish and hotter they get, while an SDD works with modules of flash memory, hence there aren't any actually moving components. The access speeds for an SSD are much higher, which makes this type of drives a recommended solution when speed is needed. This is the reason why SSDs are often used for the Operating System on a PC and for keeping data that is used repeatedly on servers. Many providers also use a combination of both drives, so they store the data on HDDs, but they use several solid-state drives in order to cache the more frequently used data and for that reason, the data loads a lot quicker while the load on the HDDs is decreased since their disks need to spin less frequently to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Shared Hosting

We use only SSDs on our top-notch cloud web hosting platform and we have removed all HDDs on the production servers in order to ensure improved loading speeds for all aspects of our services - files, emails and databases. That way, all the content which you upload to your shared hosting account will be accessible amazingly quickly. To improve the performance of the websites hosted on our end even more, we also use multiple SSDs that function solely as cache - our system saves routinely accessed content on them and updates it instantly. We take advantage of this type of a configuration to ensure that multi-media heavy Internet sites do not affect the performance of the other sites hosted on our platform and this way all other sites can also take full advantage of the speed that the SSD drives provide. Furthermore, given that the load on the main drives is decreased, their life-span will be longer, that's one more guarantee for the safety and integrity of your info.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All semi-dedicated hosting accounts that we provide are created on a cloud platform which uses solely SSD drives. We do not use HDDs anymore, so your sites will load amazingly quickly because we employ SSDs for every part of the service - files, databases and e-mails. Considering that some users may host Internet sites which could be more popular than others, we also use multiple drives for caching. Our system finds all the content that is loaded more regularly and duplicates it on these drives so as to load it from them. This setup is used for load-balancing purposes as we ensure that several reading/writing intensive sites will not influence the performance of the rest of the sites which are stored on the very same main drive. Using caching drives also increases the lifespan of the main storage SSDs and lowers the possibility of disk failures.
