A solid-state drive is considerably faster than any standard hard disk. This is because a hard-disk drive employs spinning disks, which can rotate only so fast and the more data is read and written, the slower and hotter they become, whereas an SDD uses modules of flash memory, so there aren't any physically moving components. The access speeds for an SSD are drastically higher, which makes this kind of drives the right solution in case speed is needed. This is the reason why SSDs are often employed for the Operating System on a personal computer and for keeping data which is used regularly on hosting servers. A large number of service providers also use a combination of both drives, so they store the data on hard disk drives, but they use several solid-state drives to cache the more often used data and due to this fact, the data loads faster while the load on the HDDs is lowered as their disks need to spin less often in order to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Hosting

Our modern cloud Internet hosting platform employs exclusively SSD drives, so in case you acquire any of our hosting packages, you'll take advantage of the speed that the drives provide. We no longer use hard drives, so your files, databases and emails will all load from fast SSDs. For even greater performance, we also use caching SSDs. Multiple drives are used by our system for each file that is accessed more often and the data on these drives is dynamically refreshed in order to ensure that all traffic-intensive files load from them. In this way, the load on the main drives is reduced, so we can guarantee fantastic performance for all Internet sites no matter how frequently they're accessed and avoid a situation where some websites are affected by an excessive number of reading and writing processes created by others. This setup also raises the lifespan of the primary drives and reduces the risk of disk failure.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you subscribe for one of our semi-dedicated hosting solutions, we will save your content on SSD drives and this is valid not just for the files, but also for all databases and e-mails. This way, your script-driven applications and webmail will load speedily. We use dedicated SSDs for caching too. Traffic-intensive website content is duplicated automatically on these drives, so we ensure that a number of heavy sites which generate a large amount of reading and writing processes can't affect the other Internet sites that share the same drive. By reducing the overall load we also increase the lifespan of the main storage disks and reduce the chance of a disk failure, so by using SSD drives for caching purposes, we add an additional level of protection for your site content.
