A solid-state drive (SSD) enhances the performance of any application running on it in comparison to a classic hard-disk drive (HDD). The reason is that a solid-state drive functions with many different interconnected flash memory modules, so there're no physical parts to move. In contrast, an HDD uses spinning disks and each reading or writing process causes the disks to spin, so the speed of an HDD is limited. Since the cost of the two kinds of drives are also different, many desktops and web servers are provided with an SSD for the operating system and various applications, and a hard-disk drive for data storage, thus balancing price and overall performance. A web hosting service provider can also use an SSD for caching purposes, thus files which are accessed repeatedly will be kept on this type of a drive for reaching higher loading speeds and for minimizing the reading/writing processes on the hard disks.

SSD with Data Caching in Cloud Website Hosting

We use solely SSDs on our cutting-edge cloud web hosting platform and we've removed all HDDs on the production servers so as to provide better loading speeds for every aspect of our services - files, emails and databases. That way, any content that you upload to your cloud website hosting account will be accessible very fast. To boost the overall performance of the sites hosted on our end even more, we also use a number of SSDs which work exclusively as cache - our system stores routinely accessed content on them and upgrades it automatically. We take advantage of this type of a setup to guarantee that resource-demanding sites will not influence the performance of the other Internet sites hosted on our platform and this way all other websites can also take advantage of the speed which the SSD drives provide. Furthermore, due to the fact that the load on the main drives is decreased, their lifespan will be longer, which is one more guarantee for the security and integrity of your information.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you register for one of our semi-dedicated server solutions, we'll hold your content on SSD drives and this is valid not just for the files, but also for all of the databases and emails. That way, your script-driven applications and webmail will load very fast. We work with dedicated SSDs for caching as well. Traffic-intensive content is cloned automatically on these drives, so we make sure that several heavy sites that generate a considerable amount of reading and writing processes shall not affect the other websites that share the same drive. By reduction of the overall system load we also boost the lifespan of the main storage disks and decrease the chance of a disk failure, so by using SSD drives for caching purposes, we add an additional level of security for your content.
