A solid-state drive is incredibly faster than any regular hard-disk drive. The reason is that a hard-disk drive uses rotating disks, which can rotate only so fast and the more data is read and written, the sluggish and warmer they become, while an SDD operates with modules of flash memory, therefore there aren't any physically moving parts. The access speeds for an SSD are drastically higher, which makes this sort of drives a preferred solution every time speed is needed. Because of this SSDs are frequently used for the Operating System on a PC and for saving data that is accessed frequently on servers. Numerous service providers also use a combination of the two drives, so they store the data on hard disk drives, but they use a couple of SSDs in order to cache the more frequently used data and as a consequence, the data loads a lot quicker while the load on the HDDs is lowered as their disks need to spin less frequently to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Shared Hosting

The cloud platform where we create shared hosting accounts uses only SSD drives, so your web apps and static sites will open very fast. The SSDs are used for files, emails and databases, so regardless if you open a page or check for new emails using webmail, the content will load immediately. To ensure even greater speeds, we also use numerous dedicated SSDs that function only as cache. Any content which generates a lot 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 better efficiency. What we achieve that way aside from the better speed is lowered overall load, thus reduced probability 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

In case you need speed and outstanding performance for your Internet sites, our semi-dedicated hosting accounts shall be a very suitable solution because they're made on a cloud platform which employs SSDs for all aspects of the service - e-mails, databases and files. This way, each and every website that you host on our end will load fast. Just like other providers, we also use SSDs for caching, but since all storage drives are solid-state ones, you will be able to take advantage of the top performance all of the time and regardless of the nature of your sites. The caching drives are used for load-balancing and any frequently accessed content is copied on them, which both lowers the load and guarantees the fantastic performance of all sites which load straight from the primary drives. The lifespan of the latter will also be increased because there will be substantially less reading and writing processes on them.
