A solid-state drive is considerably faster than any normal hard disk. It is because an HDD uses rotating disks, which can rotate only so fast and the more info is read and written, the slower and warmer they become, at the same time an SDD takes advantage of modules of flash memory, therefore there aren't any physically moving parts. The access speeds for an SSD are significantly higher, which makes these drives the best 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 which is used often on hosting servers. Numerous providers also use a combination of both drives, so they keep the data on HDDs, but they use a couple of SSDs to cache the more often used data and for that reason, the data loads much quicker while the load on the HDDs is lowered since their disks have to spin less often in order to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Web Hosting

If you host your Internet sites in a web hosting account from our company, you will notice their exceptional performance. This is because our cloud platform uses exclusively SSD drives for all files, e-mail addresses and databases and we do not use HDDs for any part of the website hosting service. Along with the state-of-the-art ZFS file system, this setup will increase the speed of your websites substantially. For load-balancing, we also use multiple SSDs for caching purposes only. All content that generates more traffic or causes plenty of reading/writing processes is copied on them promptly, so that the load on the primary drives will be lower, thus the overall performance of all websites hosted on our end will be better. The latter subsequently prolongs the life of the primary drives and decreases the chance of a disk failure, that is an additional warranty for the integrity of all content that you upload to your account.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you register for one of our semi-dedicated server plans, we'll save your content on SSD drives and this is valid not only for the files, but also for all the databases and e-mails. Thus, your script-driven apps and webmail will load amazingly quickly. We use dedicated SSDs for caching as well. Traffic-intensive site content is copied automatically on these drives, so we make sure that a couple of heavy Internet sites which generate a large amount of reading and writing processes shall not influence the other Internet sites that share the very same drive. By reduction of the overall system load we also increase the lifespan of the main storage disks and lower the potential for a disk failure, so by using SSD drives for caching purposes, we add an additional level of stability for your content.
