A solid-state drive is much faster than any normal hard disk. It is because a hard-disk drive uses rotating disks, that can rotate only so fast and the more info is read and written, the slower and warmer they get, while an SDD operates with modules of flash memory, therefore there aren't any physically moving components. The access speeds for an SSD are drastically higher, which makes this sort of drives a preferred solution if speed is needed. That's why SSDs are frequently employed for the Operating System on a computer system and for keeping data which is accessed frequently on servers. A lot of providers also use a combination of both drives, so they save the data on HDDs, but they use a couple of SSDs to cache the more often used data and consequently, the data loads much quicker while the load on the HDDs is lowered since their disks need to spin less often in order to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Website Hosting

Our state-of-the-art cloud website hosting platform uses solely SSD drives, so in case you acquire any of our website hosting solutions, you will benefit from the speed that the drives provide. We no longer use hard disks, so your files, databases and e-mails will all open from ultra fast SSDs. For even improved performance, we use caching solid-state drives. A number of drives are used by our system for each file that's accessed more often and the data on these drives is dynamically refreshed to make sure that all traffic-intensive files load from them. In this way, the load on the main drives is decreased, so we can ensure perfect performance for all sorts of sites irrespective of how many times they're accessed and avoid a situation where some websites are affected by too many reading and writing processes created by others. This setup also increases the lifespan of the primary drives and reduces the risk of disk failure.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you buy one of our semi-dedicated server plans, your sites will be stored on a cloud platform that uses solely SSD drives for the storing of files, databases and email messages. Together with the leading-edge ZFS file system that we use, this setup provides fast loading speed for any web application hosted on our end. To guarantee that the Internet sites of one user don't affect the ones of another one, we also use a number of SSDs as cache - our system identifies files which are accessed more frequently and copies them, so that they start loading from the caching drives. The content on the latter is updated dynamically and consequently we can balance the load on all the drives, ensure their long lifespan, reduce the risk of disk failures and, of course, provide a fast and reliable website hosting service.
