A solid-state drive is significantly faster than any standard hard disk. This 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 get, while an SDD takes advantage of modules of flash memory, therefore there aren't any actually moving components. The access speeds for an SSD are much higher, which makes this sort of drives the best solution in case speed is needed. This is the reason why SSDs are in many cases employed for the Operating System on a home PC and for keeping data which is accessed repeatedly on servers. Many service providers also use a combination of the two drives, so they store the data on HDDs, but they use a couple of solid-state drives so as to cache the more often used data and due to this fact, the data loads quicker while the load on the HDDs is reduced because their disks need to spin less often to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Shared Website Hosting

If you host your websites in a shared website hosting account with us, you'll notice their excellent performance. The reason is that our cloud platform uses only SSD drives for all the files, e-mails and databases and we don't use HDDs for any part of the web hosting service. Along with the state-of-the-art ZFS file system, this configuration will boost the speed of your websites drastically. For load-balancing, we also use numerous SSDs for caching purposes only. All the content which generates increased traffic or creates a lot of reading/writing processes is duplicated on them promptly, so the load on the primary drives will be reduced, thus the overall performance of all Internet sites hosted on our end will be better. The abovementioned subsequently prolongs the life of the main drives and lessens the potential for a disk failure, that is an additional guarantee for the reliability of all content which you upload to your account.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All semi-dedicated hosting accounts that we provide are generated on a cloud platform which uses exclusively SSD drives. We don't use HDDs any longer, so your Internet sites will load quickly because we use SSDs for every aspect of the service - files, databases and e-mails. Considering that some people may host Internet sites that could be more popular than others, we also use numerous drives for caching. Our system finds all the content that is loaded more regularly and clones it on these drives in order to load it from them. This setup is used for load-balancing purposes as we make sure that several reading/writing intensive sites will not affect the performance of the other websites that are stored on the very same primary drive. Using caching drives also raises the lifespan of the main storage SSDs and reduces the chance of disk failures.
