A solid-state drive is significantly faster than any standard hard-disk drive. It is because a hard-disk drive employs rotating disks, which can rotate only so fast and the more information is read and written, the sluggish and hotter they get, whereas an SDD employs modules of flash memory, hence there aren't any physically moving components. The access speeds for an SSD are a lot higher, which makes this kind of drives the best solution every time speed is needed. This is the reason why SSDs are in many cases used for the Operating System on a PC and for storing data that is accessed regularly on hosting servers. A lot of service providers also use a combination of the two drives, so they save the data on HDDs, but they use one or more SSDs in order to cache the more often used data and because of that, the data loads faster while the load on the HDDs is decreased since their disks have to spin less frequently in order to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Web Hosting

We use only SSDs on our cutting-edge cloud hosting platform and we have removed all HDDs on our production servers so as to ensure improved loading speeds for every aspect of our services - files, emails and databases. This way, all the content you upload to your web hosting account will be accessible amazingly quickly. To improve the performance of the sites hosted on our end even more, we also use a number of SSDs that function solely as cache - our system stores often accessed content on them and updates it instantly. We use this type of a setup to guarantee that resource-demanding Internet sites will not influence the performance of the other websites hosted on our platform and that way all other websites can also take advantage of the speed which the SSD drives provide. Furthermore, given that the load on the main drives is reduced, their lifespan shall be longer, that is one more warranty for the safety and integrity of your data.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All semi-dedicated hosting accounts that we provide are generated on a cloud platform which uses exclusively SSD drives. We don't use HDDs any longer, so your Internet sites will load amazingly quickly since we use SSDs for all aspects of the service - files, databases and e-mails. As some users may host sites which are more frequently visited than others, we also use multiple drives for caching. Our system finds all the content which is accessed more regularly and clones it on these drives so as to load it from them. This configuration is used for load-balancing purposes as we ensure that several reading/writing intensive Internet sites will not influence the performance of the rest of the Internet sites that are stored on the very same main drive. Using caching drives also raises the life-span of the main storage SSDs and decreases the chance of disk failures.
