A solid-state drive is really faster than any regular hard disk. It is because an HDD uses spinning disks, that can rotate only so fast and the more data is read and written, the slower and hotter they become, at the same time an SDD operates with modules of flash memory, so there aren't any actually moving components. The access speeds for an SSD are considerably higher, which makes this sort of drives a recommended solution in case speed is needed. That's why SSDs are in many cases employed for the Operating System on a laptop or computer and for keeping data that is used regularly on web servers. A lot of service providers also use a combination of the two drives, so they keep the data on hard disk drives, but they use several SSDs in order to cache the more often used data and due to this fact, the data loads a lot quicker while the load on the HDDs is reduced as their disks have to spin less often in order to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Shared Website Hosting

In case you host your Internet sites in a shared website hosting account with our company, you'll notice their excellent performance. This is because our cloud platform uses solely SSD drives for all files, emails and databases and we do not use HDDs for any part of the website hosting service. Along with the leading-edge ZFS file system, this setup will raise the speed of your websites tremendously. For load-balancing, we also use numerous SSDs for caching purposes only. All of the content which generates more traffic or causes lots of reading/writing processes is duplicated on them promptly, so that the load on the primary drives will be lower, thus the overall performance of all websites hosted with us will be better. The abovementioned subsequently prolongs the life of the main drives and lessens the possibility of a disk failure, which is an additional guarantee for the integrity of any content which you upload to your account.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you sign up for one of our semi-dedicated server plans, we will hold your content on SSD drives and this is valid not just for the files, but also for all the databases and e-mails. That way, your script-driven applications and webmail will load very quickly. We use dedicated SSDs for caching too. Traffic-intensive website content is cloned automatically on these drives, so we ensure that a few heavy websites which generate a large amount of reading and writing processes can't affect the other sites which share the very same drive. By reduction of the overall load we also boost the lifespan of the main storage disks and lower the possibility of a disk failure, so by using SSD drives for caching purposes, we add an additional level of security for your website content.
