A solid-state drive (SSD) boosts the performance of each app running on it when compared to an ordinary hard-disk drive (HDD). The reason is that an SSD functions with many different interconnected flash memory modules, so there're no physical parts to move. In comparison, a hard disk employs spinning disks and any reading or writing process causes the disks to move, so the speed of an HDD is fixed. Since the cost of the two kinds of drives are different as well, many desktops and web servers are provided with an SSD for the operating system and various applications, and a hard disk for file storage, in this way balancing price and performance. A web hosting service provider can also use a solid-state drive for caching purposes, so files which are accessed very often will be stored on such a drive for reaching improved loading speeds and for minimizing the reading/writing processes on the hard disks.

SSD with Data Caching in Cloud Hosting

We use only SSDs on our cutting-edge cloud hosting platform and we have eliminated all HDDs on the production servers so as to ensure outstanding loading speeds for all aspects of our services - files, e-mails and databases. That way, all of the content that you upload to your cloud hosting account will be accessible very quickly. In order to enhance the performance of the websites hosted on our end even more, we also use multiple SSDs that work exclusively as cache - our system stores frequently accessed content on them and upgrades it instantly. We employ this type of a setup to make sure that traffic-intensive sites will not affect the performance of the other Internet sites hosted on our platform and this way all other websites can also take full advantage of the speed which the SSD drives provide. What's more, given that the load on the main drives is reduced, their life-span will be longer, which is one more warranty for the safety and stability of your information.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you need speed and outstanding performance for your Internet sites, our semi-dedicated hosting accounts shall be a really suitable solution because they're generated on a cloud platform that employs SSDs for every part of the service - emails, databases and files. This way, every single website that you host on our end will load fast. Similar to other providers, we also use SSDs for caching, but since all storage drives are solid-state ones, you will be able to take advantage of the top performance all of the time and regardless of the type of your websites. The caching drives are used for load-balancing and all the frequently accessed content is copied to them, which both minimizes the load and guarantees the good performance of all websites which load directly from the primary drives. The lifespan of the latter will also be increased because there'll be a lot less reading and writing processes on them.
