A solid-state drive is incredibly faster than any standard hard disk. It is because an HDD employs rotating disks, that can rotate only so fast and the more info is read and written, the slower and hotter they get, at the same time an SDD uses modules of flash memory, so there are no physically moving parts. The access speeds for an SSD are much higher, which makes this type of drives the best solution in case speed is needed. That's why SSDs are in many cases used for the Operating System on a personal computer and for keeping data that's used often on servers. Many service providers also use a combination of the two drives, so they save the data on HDDs, but they use a couple of solid-state drives to cache the more frequently used data and because of this, the data loads a lot quicker while the load on the HDDs is lowered because their disks have to spin less frequently to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Shared Web Hosting

We use only SSDs on our advanced cloud web hosting platform and we've removed all HDDs on our production servers in order to provide outstanding loading speeds for every part of our services - files, e-mails and databases. Thus, any content you upload to your shared web hosting account will be accessible very quickly. In order to boost the overall performance of the sites hosted on our end even more, we also use multiple SSDs which work only as cache - our system stores routinely accessed content on them and upgrades it without delay. We use this kind of a setup to make sure that traffic-intensive sites will never influence the performance of the other Internet sites hosted on our platform and this way all other websites can also take advantage of the speed which the SSD drives provide. What's more, since the load on the main drives is reduced, their life-span will be longer, which is one more guarantee for the security and integrity of your data.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you register for one of our semi-dedicated hosting plans, we'll save your content on SSD drives and this is valid not only for the files, but also for all databases and e-mails. That way, your script-driven apps and webmail will load very fast. We work with dedicated SSDs for caching too. Traffic-intensive website content is duplicated automatically on these drives, so we make sure that a few heavy sites which generate a large amount of reading and writing processes can't influence the other sites which share the exact same drive. By reducing the overall load we also increase the lifespan of the primary storage disks and reduce the probability of a disk failure, so by using SSD drives for caching purposes, we add an extra level of security for your content.
