A solid-state drive is incredibly faster than any conventional hard disk. This is because an HDD works by using spinning disks, that can rotate only so fast and the more info is read and written, the sluggish and hotter they get, at the same time an SDD takes advantage of modules of flash memory, hence there aren't any physically moving components. The access speeds for an SSD are significantly higher, which makes this type of drives a preferred solution any time speed is needed. That's why SSDs are frequently used for the Operating System on a laptop or computer and for keeping data that's accessed regularly on servers. Many providers also use a combination of both drives, so they save the data on hard-disks, but they use several SSDs to cache the more frequently used data and because of that, the data loads a lot quicker while the load on the HDDs is lowered since their disks have to spin less often to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Shared Hosting

We use only SSDs on our state-of-the-art cloud hosting platform and we have eliminated all HDDs on our production servers so as to provide lightning-fast loading speeds for every part of our services - files, emails and databases. Thus, all the content you upload to your shared hosting account will be accessible very fast. In order to boost the overall performance of the Internet sites hosted on our end even further, we also use multiple SSDs which work only as cache - our system stores routinely accessed content on them and updates it without delay. We employ this kind of a configuration to ensure that traffic-intensive sites will never affect the performance of the other sites hosted on our platform and this way all other websites can also take advantage of the speed that the SSD drives provide. Furthermore, due to the fact that the load on the main drives is decreased, their life-span shall be longer, that's one more guarantee for the safety and integrity of your data.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you purchase one of our semi-dedicated hosting packages, your websites will be stored on a cloud platform that employs solely SSD drives for the storing of files, databases and e-mails. Together with the revolutionary ZFS file system that we use, this configuration ensures extremely fast loading speed for every web application hosted on our end. To ensure that the websites of one customer won't affect the ones of another, we also use numerous SSDs as cache - our system discovers files that are accessed more frequently and clones them, so they start loading from the caching drives. The content on the latter is refreshed dynamically and therefore we can balance the load on all the drives, ensure their long life-span, reduce the risk of disk failures and, of course, supply a quick and reliable website hosting service.
