A solid-state drive is substantially quicker than any normal hard disk. It is because an HDD employs spinning disks, which can rotate only so fast and the more info is read and written, the slower and warmer they become, whereas an SDD operates with modules of flash memory, therefore there aren't any physically moving parts. The access speeds for an SSD are drastically higher, which makes these drives the right solution in case speed is needed. That's why SSDs are in many cases employed for the Operating System on a computer system and for storing data which is accessed frequently on web servers. Many providers also use a combination of both drives, so they store the data on hard disk drives, 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 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 Cloud Web Hosting

Our state-of-the-art cloud web hosting platform uses exclusively SSD drives, so if you purchase any of our cloud web hosting plans, you'll take full advantage of the speed that these drives provide. We no longer use hard disks, so your files, databases and e-mail messages will all load from quick SSDs. For even greater performance, we also use caching solid-state drives. A group of drives are used by our system for each file that is accessed more regularly and the data on these drives is dynamically updated in order to ensure that all of the traffic-intensive files load from them. In this way, the load on the main drives is decreased, so we can provide excellent performance for all kinds of Internet sites irrespective of how many times they are accessed and prevent a situation where some Internet sites are affected by too many reading and writing processes created by others. This setup also increases the lifespan of the main drives and reduces the possibility of disk failure.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you need speed and high-end performance for your Internet sites, our semi-dedicated server accounts will be a really suitable solution since they are created on a cloud platform that uses SSDs for each aspect of the service - emails, databases and files. That way, every website that you host on our end will load fast. Just like other providers, we also use SSDs for caching, but since all storage drives are solid-state ones, you'll be able to take advantage of the top performance at all times and whatever the type of your Internet sites. The caching drives are used for load-balancing and all frequently accessed content is copied on them, which both reduces the load and ensures the optimal performance of all websites that load from the primary drives. The lifespan of the latter will also be increased as there'll be considerably less reading and writing processes on them.
