A solid-state drive (SSD) boosts the performance of every application running on it as compared with a classic hard-disk drive (HDD). The reason is that an SSD uses multiple interconnected flash memory modules, so there're no physical parts to move. In contrast, a hard disk features spinning disks and any reading or writing process causes the disks to move, so the speed of an HDD is fixed. Because the cost of the two kinds of drives are different as well, many desktops and web servers are set up with an SSD for the operating system and random applications, and an HDD for data storage, thus balancing price and overall performance. A hosting service provider could also use a solid-state drive for caching purposes, which means that files that are accessed repeatedly will be saved on this type of a drive for accomplishing improved loading speeds and for reducing the reading/writing processes on the hard disks.

SSD with Data Caching in Shared Hosting

We use solely SSDs on our cutting-edge cloud hosting platform and we have removed all HDDs on the production servers in order to ensure better loading speeds for every part of our services - files, e-mails and databases. This way, all of the content which you upload to your shared hosting account will be reachable very quickly. In order to boost the overall performance of the sites hosted on our end even further, we also use a number of SSDs which work solely as cache - our system saves regularly accessed content on them and upgrades it instantly. We use such a setup to guarantee that multi-media heavy sites do not influence the performance of the other websites hosted on our platform and that way all other sites can also take advantage of the speed that the SSD drives provide. What's more, since the load on the main drives is reduced, their life-span shall be longer, that's one more guarantee for the safety and stability of your data.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you need speed and outstanding performance for your Internet sites, our semi-dedicated hosting accounts shall be a very suitable solution as they're created on a cloud platform which uses SSDs for all aspects of the service - e-mails, databases and files. This way, each and every site that you host here will load fast. Similar to other companies, 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-notch performance all of the time and whatever the type of your websites. The caching solid-state drives are used for load-balancing and all the frequently accessed content is copied to them, which both minimizes the load and guarantees the excellent performance of all Internet sites which load straight from the primary drives. The lifespan of the latter is also increased as there will be considerably less reading and writing processes on them.
