A solid-state drive is really quicker than any standard hard disk. The reason is that an HDD employs spinning disks, which can rotate only so fast and the more data is read and written, the sluggish and warmer they get, at the same time an SDD employs modules of flash memory, so there are no physically moving parts. The access speeds for an SSD are considerably higher, which makes this sort of drives the right solution if speed is needed. Because of this SSDs are in many cases employed for the Operating System on a personal computer and for storing data that's used repeatedly on hosting servers. Many service providers also use a combination of the two drives, so they store the data on hard-disks, but they use a couple of solid-state drives so as to cache the more frequently used data and because of that, the data loads quicker while the load on the HDDs is lowered since their disks need to spin less often to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Hosting

We use solely SSDs on our advanced cloud web hosting platform and we've removed all HDDs on our production servers so as to ensure better loading speeds for all aspects of our services - files, emails and databases. Thus, all of the content that you upload to your hosting account will be accessible very quickly. To enhance the performance of the sites hosted on our end even further, we also use a number of SSDs which work only as cache - our system stores frequently accessed content on them and upgrades it automatically. We employ such a setup to make sure that traffic-intensive sites will never affect the performance of the other websites hosted on our platform and that way all other sites can also take advantage of the speed that the SSD drives provide. What's more, given that the load on the main drives is reduced, their life-span shall be longer, which is one more warranty for the security and stability of your info.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you want speed and high-end performance for your sites, our semi-dedicated server accounts shall be a really suitable solution as they are made on a cloud platform which employs SSDs for all aspects of the service - emails, databases and files. This way, each and every website that you host with us will load fast. Similar to other service providers, we also use SSDs for caching, but since all storage drives are solid-state ones, you'll be able to take advantage of the high performance all the time and irrespective of the type of your websites. The caching solid-state drives are used for load-balancing and all of the frequently accessed content is copied on them, which both reduces the load and guarantees the good performance of all sites which load straight from the main drives. The lifespan of the latter is also increased since there will be considerably less reading and writing processes on them.
