A solid-state drive is significantly faster than any normal hard disk. It is because a hard-disk drive employs spinning disks, that can rotate only so fast and the more information is read and written, the sluggish and warmer they get, at the same time an SDD works with modules of flash memory, therefore there aren't any actually moving parts. The access speeds for an SSD are substantially higher, which makes this sort of drives the best solution if speed is needed. That's why SSDs are in many cases used for the Operating System on a computer system and for saving data which is accessed often on hosting servers. Many providers also use a combination of both drives, so they keep the data on hard-disks, but they use a couple of SSDs so as to cache the more frequently used data and for that reason, the data loads faster while the load on the HDDs is lowered because their disks need to spin less often in order to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Cloud Hosting

We use exclusively SSDs on our advanced cloud web hosting platform and we've eliminated all HDDs on our production servers as to offer lightning-fast loading speeds for every part of our services - files, e-mails and databases. Thus, all of the content you upload to your cloud hosting account will be reachable very fast. To boost the performance of the websites hosted on our end even more, we also use multiple SSDs which function solely as cache - our system stores routinely accessed content on them and upgrades it without delay. We take advantage of this kind of a setup to make sure that traffic-intensive Internet sites will not affect the performance of the other websites hosted on our platform and that way all other websites can also take full advantage of the speed that the SSD drives provide. Furthermore, due to the fact that the load on the main drives is decreased, their life-span will be longer, which is one more guarantee for the safety and stability of your info.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All semi-dedicated hosting accounts that we offer are made on a cloud platform which uses solely SSD drives. We don't use HDDs any longer, so your websites will load extremely fast as we employ SSDs for all aspects of the service - files, databases and email addresses. Considering that some customers may host websites that could be more popular than others, we also use a number of drives for caching. Our system finds all of the content which is loaded more frequently and clones it on these drives in order to load it from them. This setup is used for load-balancing purposes as we make sure that several reading/writing intensive websites will not influence the performance of the rest of the 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 potential for disk failures.
