A solid-state drive (SSD) is a media that uses flash modules in order to save information. The solid-state drives are still relatively new and more pricey than the classic hard disk drives (HDD), but they're considerably faster, so they are often used for Operating Systems and apps on both home PCs and hosting servers. An SSD is recommended as it doesn't have spinning disks which restrict its speed and can even cause overheating as it could happen with an HDD. Numerous companies employ SSDs for caching purposes, so any site content that is accessed more often will be kept on such drives, while all other content will be stored on standard HDDs. The reason to use this kind of a setup is to balance the cost and overall performance of their website hosting platform and to lower the load on the HDDs caused by intense reading and writing processes.

SSD with Data Caching in Web Hosting

We use exclusively SSDs on our advanced cloud hosting platform and we've removed all HDDs on the production servers so as to ensure lightning-fast loading speeds for every aspect of our services - files, emails and databases. Thus, any content you upload to your web hosting account will be reachable very fast. To improve the overall performance of the sites hosted on our end even further, we also use multiple SSDs that function only as cache - our system stores routinely accessed content on them and updates it instantly. We employ this type of a configuration to guarantee that multi-media heavy Internet sites will never affect the performance of the other sites hosted on our platform and that way all other Internet sites can also take advantage of the speed which the SSD drives provide. In addition, given that the load on the main drives is decreased, their lifespan shall be longer, that's one more guarantee for the safety and stability of your information.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you want speed and fantastic performance for your Internet sites, our semi-dedicated server accounts shall be a really suitable solution since they're generated on a cloud platform which employs SSDs for every part of the service - e-mails, databases and files. This way, each site that you host with us will load fast. Just like other companies, we also use SSDs for caching, but since all storage drives are solid-state ones, you'll be able to take advantage of the top performance at all times and irrespective of the nature of your websites. The caching drives are used for load-balancing and all of the frequently accessed content is copied to them, which both reduces the load and guarantees the good performance of all websites which load straight from the primary drives. The lifespan of the latter is also increased as there'll be substantially less reading and writing processes on them.
