A solid-state drive is significantly faster than any standard hard-disk drive. The reason is that an HDD uses spinning disks, that can rotate only so fast and the more data is read and written, the sluggish and hotter they get, whereas an SDD takes advantage of modules of flash memory, so there aren't any physically moving parts. The access speeds for an SSD are much higher, which makes this kind of drives the right solution every time speed is needed. Because of this SSDs are frequently employed for the Operating System on a home PC and for keeping data that is accessed repeatedly on web servers. Numerous service providers also use a combination of both drives, so they store the data on HDDs, but they use one or more SSDs to cache the more often used data and due to this fact, the data loads much quicker while the load on the HDDs is decreased since their disks need to spin less often in order to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Shared Hosting

Our top-notch cloud website hosting platform employs only SSD drives, so if you buy any of our shared hosting solutions, you will benefit from the speed that these drives provide. We no longer use hard disks, so your files, databases and email messages will all open from quick SSDs. For even greater performance, we also use caching solid-state drives. A number of drives are used by our system for each file that's accessed more often and the data on these drives is dynamically refreshed to ensure that all traffic-intensive files load from them. In this way, the load on the main drives is decreased, so we can provide perfect performance for all kinds of websites irrespective of how many times they're accessed and avoid a situation where some sites are affected by an excessive number of reading and writing processes generated by others. This setup also increases the lifespan of the primary drives and reduces the chance of disk failure.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you obtain one of our semi-dedicated hosting packages, your sites will be stored on a cloud platform that uses solely SSD drives for the storing of files, databases and email messages. In addition to the leading-edge ZFS file system that we use, this configuration ensures extremely fast loading speed for every web app hosted on our end. To ensure that the websites of one customer do not affect the ones of another, we also use a number of SSDs as cache - our system finds files that are accessed more frequently and clones them, so they start loading from the caching drives. The content on the latter is refreshed dynamically and because of this we can balance the load on all drives, warrant their long life-span, lower the risk of disk failures and, of course, provide you with a quick and reliable web hosting service.
