A solid-state drive is incredibly faster than any standard hard-disk drive. The reason is that an HDD uses rotating disks, which can rotate only so fast and the more information is read and written, the sluggish and hotter they become, at the same time an SDD uses modules of flash memory, so there aren't any physically moving parts. The access speeds for an SSD are substantially higher, which makes this kind of drives a recommended solution every time speed is needed. This is the reason why SSDs are frequently employed for the Operating System on a PC and for keeping data that is accessed regularly on web servers. Numerous providers also use a combination of both drives, so they keep the data on hard-disks, 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 reduced because their disks need to spin less frequently in order to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Cloud Hosting

Our modern cloud web hosting platform uses solely SSD drives, so in case you obtain any of our cloud hosting solutions, you will benefit from the speed that these drives provide. We no longer use HDDs, so your files, databases and email messages will all load from extremely fast SSDs. For even greater performance, we also use caching SSDs. Multiple drives are used by our system for each file that's accessed more regularly and the data on these drives is dynamically refreshed to make sure that all of the traffic-intensive files load from them. This way, the load on the main drives is reduced, so we can provide excellent performance for all websites irrespective of how frequently they're accessed and prevent a situation where some sites are affected by an excessive number of reading and writing processes generated by others. This setup also raises the lifespan of the main drives and decreases the possibility of disk failure.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you obtain one of our semi-dedicated server plans, your Internet sites will be stored on a cloud platform that uses only SSD drives for the storing of files, databases and emails. Together with the leading-edge ZFS file system that we use, this setup ensures very fast loading speed for each web application hosted on our end. To guarantee that the sites of one user don't affect the ones of another one, we also use a number of SSDs as cache - our system identifies files which are accessed more frequently and copies them, so that they start loading from the caching drives. The content on the latter is refreshed dynamically and as a result we can balance the load on all the drives, guarantee their extended life-span, minimize the risk of disk failures and, of course, offer you a fast and reliable web hosting service.
