A solid-state drive is incredibly faster than any normal hard-disk drive. This is because a hard-disk drive employs rotating disks, that can rotate only so fast and the more data is read and written, the sluggish and hotter they become, while an SDD employs modules of flash memory, so there are no actually moving parts. The access speeds for an SSD are drastically higher, which makes these drives an ideal solution any time speed is needed. Because of this SSDs are frequently used for the Operating System on a PC and for saving data that's accessed often on servers. Numerous providers also use a combination of the two drives, so they store the data on hard-disks, but they use a couple of SSDs in order to cache the more often used data and due to this fact, the data loads much quicker while the load on the HDDs is decreased as their disks need to spin less often in order to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Cloud Website Hosting

The cloud platform where we make cloud website hosting accounts uses solely SSD drives, so your web apps and static Internet sites will open very quickly. The SSDs are used for files, email addresses and databases, so regardless if you load a page or check for new messages using webmail, the content will load quickly. In order to offer even higher speeds, we also use a number of dedicated SSDs that function only as cache. All the content that generates lots of traffic is copied on them automatically and is later read from them and not from the primary storage drives. Needless to say, that content is replaced dynamically for much better performance. What we achieve by doing this apart from the improved speed is decreased overall load, thus decreased probability of hardware failures, and extended lifespan of the primary drives, that's one more level of protection for any info that you upload to your account.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you sign up for one of our semi-dedicated server solutions, we will hold your content on SSD drives and this is valid not only for the files, but also for all databases and emails. That way, your script-driven applications and webmail will load speedily. We use dedicated SSDs for caching as well. Traffic-intensive website content is copied automatically on these drives, so we make sure that a few heavy Internet sites which generate a lot of reading and writing processes won't influence the other websites that share the very same drive. By reducing the overall load we also raise the lifespan of the primary storage disks and decrease the possibility of a disk failure, so by using SSD drives for caching purposes, we add an additional level of security for your content.
