A solid-state drive is much faster than any regular hard disk. This is because a hard-disk drive uses spinning disks, that can rotate only so fast and the more data is read and written, the slower and warmer they get, whereas an SDD operates with modules of flash memory, therefore there are no actually moving components. The access speeds for an SSD are substantially higher, which makes this type of drives the right solution any time speed is needed. Because of this SSDs are frequently used for the Operating System on a home PC and for saving data that's accessed repeatedly on servers. A lot of providers also use a combination of the two drives, so they save the data on hard disk drives, but they use several solid-state drives in order to cache the more frequently used data and consequently, the data loads much quicker while the load on the HDDs is reduced since their disks need to spin less frequently to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Web Hosting

The cloud platform where we create web hosting accounts uses exclusively SSD drives, so your web applications and static websites will open extremely fast. The SSDs are used for files, email addresses and databases, so regardless if you open a page or check for new e-mail messages using webmail, the content will load without delay. So as to ensure even higher speeds, we also use numerous dedicated SSDs that work only as cache. All the content that generates lots of traffic is copied on them automatically and is afterwards read from them and not from the primary storage drives. Of course, that content is replaced dynamically for much better efficiency. What we achieve in this way except for the better speed is decreased overall load, thus reduced possibility of hardware failures, and longer lifespan of the main drives, that is one more level of protection for any information that you upload to your account.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you want speed and outstanding performance for your websites, our semi-dedicated hosting accounts shall be a very suitable solution because they're made on a cloud platform which employs SSDs for each part of the service - email addresses, databases and files. This way, each and every Internet site that you host here will load fast. Just like other providers, we also use SSDs for caching, but since all storage drives are solid-state ones, you can take advantage of the high performance all the time and irrespective of the type of your Internet sites. The caching solid-state drives are used for load-balancing and all the frequently accessed content is copied to them, which both decreases the load and provides the good performance of all sites which load from the main drives. The lifespan of the latter is also increased since there will be significantly less reading and writing processes on them.
