A solid-state drive is considerably faster than any conventional hard disk. This is because a hard-disk drive uses spinning disks, that can rotate only so fast and the more info is read and written, the sluggish and warmer they become, while an SDD works with modules of flash memory, therefore there are no actually moving components. The access speeds for an SSD are significantly higher, which makes this kind of drives the best solution any time speed is needed. Because of this SSDs are often employed for the Operating System on a PC and for saving data which is used repeatedly on web servers. Many providers also use a combination of the two drives, so they store the data on hard disk drives, but they use one or more solid-state drives to cache the more frequently used data and as a result, the data loads a lot faster while the load on the HDDs is decreased since their disks need to spin less frequently in order to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Shared Website Hosting

We use only SSDs on our cutting-edge cloud web hosting platform and we have removed all HDDs on our production servers as to ensure better loading speeds for all aspects of our services - files, e-mails and databases. Thus, all of the content that you upload to your shared website hosting account will be reachable amazingly quickly. To boost the performance of the sites hosted on our end even more, we also use a number of SSDs that function only as cache - our system saves frequently accessed content on them and updates it without delay. We use this type of a setup to guarantee that multi-media loaded Internet sites do not affect the performance of the other sites hosted on our platform and this way all other sites can also take advantage of the speed which the SSD drives provide. Furthermore, given that the load on the main drives is decreased, their lifespan shall be longer, that is one more warranty for the safety and integrity of your info.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Servers

All semi-dedicated server accounts that we offer are generated on a cloud platform which uses exclusively SSD drives. We don't use HDDs anymore, so your Internet sites will load very fast because we employ SSDs for each part of the service - files, databases and email addresses. Considering that some users may host websites that are more popular than others, we also use a number of drives for caching. Our system finds all of the content which is loaded more often and copies it on these drives so as to load it from them. This setup is used for load-balancing purposes as we guarantee that several reading/writing intensive websites will not influence the performance of the rest of the Internet sites which are stored on the very same main drive. Using caching drives also raises the lifespan of the main storage SSDs and reduces the possibility of disk failures.
