A solid-state drive is really faster than any normal hard disk. It is because an HDD uses spinning disks, that can rotate only so fast and the more information is read and written, the sluggish and hotter they become, at the same time an SDD takes advantage of modules of flash memory, hence there aren't any actually moving parts. The access speeds for an SSD are drastically higher, which makes this type of drives the right solution every time speed is needed. That's why SSDs are frequently employed for the Operating System on a home PC and for storing data that's used repeatedly on hosting servers. A lot of service providers also use a combination of the two drives, so they save the data on hard-disks, but they use several solid-state drives in order to cache the more often used data and because of this, the data loads quicker while the load on the HDDs is reduced since their disks have to spin less often in order to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Shared Hosting

Our state-of-the-art cloud hosting platform uses only SSD drives, so in case you purchase any of our shared hosting plans, you can benefit from the speed that these drives provide. We no longer use HDDs, so your files, databases and e-mails will all load from extremely fast SSDs. For even improved performance, we also use caching solid-state drives. Multiple drives are used by our system for any file that's accessed more regularly and the data on these drives is dynamically updated to ensure that all the traffic-intensive files load from them. In this way, the load on the main drives is decreased, so we can provide fantastic performance for all kinds of websites regardless of how often they are accessed and avoid a situation where some websites are affected by an excessive number of reading and writing processes created by others. This setup also improves the lifespan of the primary drives and reduces the risk of disk failure.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you purchase one of our semi-dedicated server packages, your websites will be stored on a cloud platform that uses only SSD drives for the storage of files, databases and emails. Along with the advanced ZFS file system that we use, this setup ensures lightning-fast loading speed for any web application hosted on our end. To ensure that the Internet sites of one customer do not affect the ones of another, we also use numerous SSDs as cache - our system discovers files which are accessed more frequently and copies them, so they start loading from the caching drives. The content on the latter is refreshed dynamically and as a result we can balance the load on all of the drives, warrant their long lifespan, minimize the risk of disk failures and, of course, provide you with a quick and reliable Internet hosting service.
