A solid-state drive (SSD) boosts the performance of each app running on it in comparison to a classic hard-disk drive (HDD). The reason is that a solid-state drive employs many different interconnected flash memory units, so there are no physical parts to move. In contrast, a hard disk functions with spinning disks and any reading or writing process causes the disks to move, so the speed of an HDD is limited. Because the prices of the two types of drives also differ, numerous desktops and web servers are provided with an SSD for the operating system and random applications, and an HDD for file storage, this way balancing cost and efficiency. An Internet hosting service provider may also use a solid-state drive for caching purposes, thus files that are used on a regular basis will be kept on such a drive for achieving improved loading speeds and for minimizing the reading/writing processes on the hard-disk drives.

SSD with Data Caching in Cloud Hosting

We use solely SSDs on our top-notch cloud hosting platform and we have removed all HDDs on our production servers as to provide better loading speeds for every part of our services - files, e-mails and databases. Thus, any content you upload to your cloud hosting account will be reachable amazingly quickly. In order to boost the performance of the sites hosted on our end even further, we also use a number of SSDs that work solely as cache - our system stores frequently accessed content on them and upgrades it without delay. We employ this type of a configuration to ensure that resource-demanding sites will not affect the performance of the other sites hosted on our platform and that way all other websites 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 guarantee for the safety and stability of your data.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All semi-dedicated hosting accounts that we provide are generated on a cloud platform which uses only SSD drives. We don't use HDDs any longer, so your Internet sites will load amazingly quickly since we use SSDs for all aspects of the service - files, databases and emails. Considering that some people may host sites which can be more frequently visited than others, we also use many drives for caching. Our system identifies all the content which is accessed more regularly and clones it on these drives so as to load it from them. This setup is used for load-balancing purposes as we guarantee that several reading/writing intensive Internet sites will not influence the performance of the other Internet sites which are stored on the very same main drive. Using caching drives also increases the lifespan of the main storage SSDs and lowers the chance of disk failures.
