A solid-state drive (SSD) is a media which uses flash modules in order to save information. The solid-state drives are still fairly new and more pricey when compared to classic hard disk drives (HDD), but they are considerably faster, so they are quite often used for Operating Systems and apps on both home PCs and servers. An SSD is recommended as it doesn't have spinning disks that limit its speed and can cause overheating like it may happen with an HDD. Numerous companies use SSDs for caching purposes, so all of the content which is accessed more frequently will be held on this kind of drives, while all other content will be located on regular HDDs. The reason to use this kind of a configuration is to balance the cost and overall performance of their web hosting platform and to decrease the load on the HDDs resulting from countless reading and writing processes.

SSD with Data Caching in Shared Web Hosting

Our innovative cloud web hosting platform employs exclusively SSD drives, so if you acquire any of our shared web hosting plans, you can take advantage of the speed that these drives provide. We no longer use hard disk drives, so your files, databases and email messages will all open from extremely fast SSDs. For even improved performance, we also use caching SSDs. A group of drives are used by our system for every file that is accessed more regularly and the data on these drives is dynamically refreshed to ensure that all of the traffic-intensive files load from them. In this way, the load on the primary drives is lowered, so we can guarantee excellent performance for all Internet sites regardless of how frequently they're accessed and prevent a situation where some sites are affected by an excessive number of reading and writing processes generated by others. This setup also increases the lifespan of the primary drives and decreases the possibility of disk failure.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you register for one of our semi-dedicated hosting solutions, we will hold your content on SSD drives and this is valid not just for the files, but also for all the databases and emails. This way, your script-driven apps and webmail will load extremely fast. We work with dedicated SSDs for caching too. Traffic-intensive website content is duplicated automatically on these drives, so we make certain that a number of heavy Internet sites which generate a lot of reading and writing processes will not affect the other Internet sites which share the exact same drive. By reducing the overall load we also increase the lifespan of the main storage disks and decrease the chance of a disk failure, so by employing SSD drives for caching purposes, we add an extra level of protection for your content.
