A solid-state drive is really faster than any standard hard disk. It is because an HDD uses rotating disks, which can rotate only so fast and the more information is read and written, the slower and hotter they become, whereas an SDD works with modules of flash memory, so there aren't any physically moving parts. The access speeds for an SSD are a lot higher, which makes these drives the right solution every time speed is needed. That's why SSDs are often employed for the Operating System on a laptop or computer and for storing data which is used regularly on hosting servers. A lot of service providers also use a combination of the two drives, so they store the data on hard drives, but they use several solid-state drives to cache the more frequently used data and as a consequence, the data loads much quicker while the load on the HDDs is decreased since their disks have to spin less frequently in order to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Cloud Hosting

The cloud platform where we create cloud hosting accounts uses solely SSD drives, so your web apps and static sites will open very quickly. The SSDs are used for files, email addresses and databases, so regardless of whether you load a page or check for new emails using webmail, the content will load promptly. To ensure even higher speeds, we also use multiple dedicated SSDs which work only as cache. All the content which generates lots of traffic is copied on them automatically and is afterwards read from them and not from the main storage drives. Needless to say, that content is replaced dynamically for much better efficiency. What we achieve this way aside from the improved speed is decreased overall load, thus reduced chance of hardware failures, and longer lifespan of the main drives, that is one more level of protection for any data that you upload to your account.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you subscribe for one of our semi-dedicated hosting plans, we will store your content on SSD drives and this is valid not only for the files, but also for all the databases and e-mails. Thus, your script-driven apps and webmail will load amazingly quickly. We use dedicated SSDs for caching as well. Traffic-intensive website content is cloned automatically on these drives, so we make sure that a couple of heavy websites which generate plenty of reading and writing processes can't influence the other websites that share the very same drive. By reduction of the overall load we also increase the lifespan of the primary storage drives and reduce the possibility of a disk failure, so by using SSD drives for caching purposes, we add an additional level of security for your site content.
