A solid-state drive is substantially quicker than any regular hard disk. This is because a hard-disk drive employs rotating disks, which can rotate only so fast and the more information is read and written, the slower and hotter they get, whereas an SDD takes advantage of modules of flash memory, hence there are no actually moving components. The access speeds for an SSD are much higher, which makes this type of drives an ideal solution any time speed is needed. This is the reason why SSDs are in many cases used for the Operating System on a PC and for saving data that's accessed repeatedly on web servers. Numerous service providers also use a combination of both drives, so they store the data on hard drives, but they use a couple of SSDs to cache the more often used data and consequently, the data loads faster while the load on the HDDs is decreased since their disks have to spin less often to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Shared Website Hosting

The cloud platform where we make shared website hosting accounts uses only SSD drives, so your web applications and static sites will open very quickly. The SSDs are used for files, emails and databases, so no matter if you load a page or check for new e-mail messages through webmail, the content will load without delay. In order to ensure even higher speeds, we also use numerous dedicated SSDs that work only as cache. All content which generates a lot of traffic is copied on them automatically and is afterwards read from them and not from the main storage drives. Needless to say, that content is replaced dynamically for much better efficiency. What we achieve in this way aside from the improved speed is lowered overall load, thus decreased chance of hardware failures, and longer lifespan of the main drives, that's one more level of protection for any data that you upload to your account.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you register for one of our semi-dedicated hosting solutions, we'll keep your content on SSD drives and this is valid not just for the files, but also for all the databases and e-mail messages. Thus, your script-driven applications and webmail will load very fast. We work with dedicated SSDs for caching as well. Traffic-intensive site content is copied automatically on these drives, so we ensure that a number of heavy sites which generate a large amount of reading and writing processes won't influence the other Internet sites which share the same drive. By reducing the overall load we also boost the lifespan of the main storage disks and lower the chance of a disk failure, so by employing SSD drives for caching purposes, we add another level of stability for your content.
