A solid-state drive (SSD) is a media that uses flash modules to store information. The SSDs remain fairly new and more expensive compared to classic hard disk drives (HDD), yet they are much faster, so they are ordinarily used for Operating Systems and applications on both home PCs and servers. An SSD is recommended because it does not have spinning disks which restrict its speed and can cause overheating like it could happen with an HDD. A large number of companies employ SSDs for caching purposes, so all of the content that is accessed more often will be located on this type of drives, while all other content will be held on ordinary HDDs. The reason to use this kind of a setup is to balance the price and performance of their Internet hosting platform and to minimize the load on the HDDs caused by numerous reading and writing processes.

SSD with Data Caching in Hosting

We use solely SSDs on our top-notch cloud web hosting platform and we have removed all HDDs on the production servers so as to provide better loading speeds for every part of our services - files, e-mails and databases. This way, all the content you upload to your hosting account will be accessible very quickly. In order to improve the overall performance of the sites hosted on our end even more, we also use multiple SSDs that function exclusively as cache - our system stores repeatedly accessed content on them and updates it automatically. We employ this kind of a setup to make sure that multi-media heavy sites will not affect the performance of the other sites hosted on our platform and this 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 life-span shall be longer, that's one more guarantee for the safety and stability of your information.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you need speed and outstanding performance for your websites, our semi-dedicated hosting accounts shall be a really suitable solution as they're generated on a cloud platform that employs SSDs for each part of the service - emails, databases and files. That way, every site 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 can take advantage of the top performance all of the time and regardless of the nature of your sites. The caching solid-state drives are used for load-balancing and all frequently accessed content is copied on them, which both decreases the load and provides the fantastic performance of all websites which load straight from the main drives. The lifespan of the latter will also be increased considering that there will be significantly less reading and writing processes on them.
