A solid-state drive is noticeably quicker than any regular hard-disk drive. This is because a hard-disk drive works by using spinning disks, that can rotate only so fast and the more info is read and written, the slower and warmer they become, whereas an SDD takes advantage of modules of flash memory, therefore there aren't any physically moving parts. The access speeds for an SSD are much higher, which makes this kind of drives a recommended solution when speed is needed. This is the reason why SSDs are in many cases used for the Operating System on a laptop or computer and for storing data which is used repeatedly on web servers. A lot of service providers also use a combination of the two drives, so they keep the data on HDDs, but they use several SSDs so as to cache the more frequently used data and consequently, the data loads faster while the load on the HDDs is decreased because their disks have to spin less frequently in order to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Hosting

We use solely SSDs on our state-of-the-art cloud hosting platform and we have eliminated all HDDs on our production servers so as to provide better loading speeds for all aspects of our services - files, emails and databases. That way, all of the content you upload to your hosting account will be accessible very fast. To enhance the overall performance of the websites hosted on our end even more, we also use a number of SSDs which function exclusively as cache - our system stores frequently accessed content on them and updates it instantly. We take advantage of this kind of a configuration to guarantee that multi-media heavy sites will never influence the performance of the other sites hosted on our platform and that way all other Internet sites can also take advantage of the speed which the SSD drives provide. Furthermore, since the load on the main drives is decreased, their life-span shall be longer, that's one more warranty 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 websites, our semi-dedicated hosting accounts will be a very suitable solution as they're made on a cloud platform which employs SSDs for all aspects of the service - emails, databases and files. That way, every single site that you host on our end will load fast. Just like other providers, we also use SSDs for caching, but since all storage drives are solid-state ones, you'll be able to take advantage of the top performance all of the time and regardless of the type of your websites. The caching drives are used for load-balancing and any frequently accessed content is copied to them, which both decreases the load and guarantees the excellent performance of all websites which load directly from the primary drives. The lifespan of the latter will also be increased considering that there'll be a lot less reading and writing processes on them.
