A solid-state drive is much quicker than any standard hard disk. This is because a hard-disk drive uses rotating disks, that can rotate only so fast and the more data is read and written, the slower and warmer they get, while an SDD operates with modules of flash memory, so there are no physically moving parts. The access speeds for an SSD are drastically higher, which makes this type of drives the best solution in case speed is needed. That's why SSDs are often used for the Operating System on a personal computer and for keeping data that is used repeatedly on hosting servers. A lot of providers also use a combination of both drives, so they store the data on hard-disks, but they use one or more SSDs to cache the more frequently used data and as a consequence, the data loads quicker while the load on the HDDs is lowered since their disks have to spin less frequently in order to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Web Hosting

In case you host your Internet sites in a web hosting account with our company, you will definitely notice their excellent performance. The reason is that our cloud platform uses only SSD drives for all files, e-mails and databases and we don't use HDDs for any part of the hosting service. Together with the revolutionary ZFS file system, this setup will boost the speed of your websites considerably. For load-balancing, we also use a number of SSDs for caching purposes only. All content which generates increased traffic or causes a lot of reading/writing processes is copied on them automatically, so that the load on the primary drives will be reduced, thus the overall performance of all websites hosted with us will improve. The latter subsequently prolongs the life of the primary drives and reduces the chance of a disk failure, that is another warranty for the integrity of all content which you upload to your account.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Servers

Provided you want speed and fantastic performance for your sites, our semi-dedicated server accounts shall be a very suitable solution as they're created on a cloud platform that uses SSDs for every part of the service - e-mail addresses, databases and files. That way, every single website that you host with us will load fast. Just like other service 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 the time and regardless of the type of your websites. The caching drives are used for load-balancing and any frequently accessed content is copied on them, which both lowers the load and ensures the fantastic performance of all websites that load from the primary drives. The lifespan of the latter is also increased because there will be significantly less reading and writing processes on them.
