A solid-state drive (SSD) is a media that uses flash modules in order to save data. The SSDs remain fairly new and more pricey when compared to standard hard disk drives (HDD), but they are considerably faster, so they are quite often employed for Operating Systems and apps on both desktops and web servers. An SSD is recommended because it does not have spinning disks which restrict its speed and could cause overheating as it could happen with an HDD. A large number of companies employ SSDs for caching purposes, so all site content which is accessed more often will be stored on such drives, while all the other content will be located on regular HDDs. The main reason to use such a configuration is to balance the price and overall performance of their Internet hosting platform and to minimize the load on the HDDs resulting from countless reading and writing processes.

SSD with Data Caching in Website Hosting

Our modern cloud Internet hosting platform uses only SSD drives, so if you acquire any of our website hosting solutions, you can take full advantage of the speed that the drives provide. We no longer use hard disks, so your files, databases and e-mail messages will all load from ultra fast SSDs. For even better performance, we also use caching solid-state drives. A group of drives are used by our system for any file that's accessed more regularly and the data on these drives is dynamically updated in order to make sure that all traffic-intensive files load from them. In this way, the load on the primary drives is decreased, so we can guarantee exceptional performance for all websites no matter how frequently they're accessed and prevent a situation where some Internet 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 reduces the possibility of disk failure.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All semi-dedicated hosting accounts that we provide are generated on a cloud platform that uses solely SSD drives. We don't use HDDs anymore, so your websites will load extremely fast as we use SSDs for all aspects of the service - files, databases and e-mail addresses. As some users may host sites that could be more frequently visited than others, we also use numerous drives for caching. Our system finds all the content which is accessed more regularly and copies it on these drives in order to load it from them. This configuration is used for load-balancing purposes as we ensure that several reading/writing intensive sites will not influence the performance of the rest of the Internet sites which are stored on the same main drive. Using caching drives also increases the life-span of the main storage SSDs and lowers the chance of disk failures.
