A solid-state drive is really quicker than any standard hard-disk drive. The reason is that a hard-disk drive uses rotating disks, that can rotate only so fast and the more information is read and written, the sluggish and warmer they become, while an SDD works with modules of flash memory, hence there aren't any actually moving parts. The access speeds for an SSD are significantly higher, which makes this kind of drives a recommended solution every time speed is needed. Because of this SSDs are in many cases employed for the Operating System on a PC and for keeping data which is accessed frequently on servers. Many providers also use a combination of both drives, so they save the data on hard drives, but they use several solid-state drives in order to cache the more frequently used data and because of this, the data loads a lot faster while the load on the HDDs is lowered as their disks have to spin less frequently in order to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Cloud Hosting

The cloud platform where we make cloud hosting accounts uses exclusively SSD drives, so your web applications and static sites will load extremely fast. The SSDs are used for files, e-mails and databases, so regardless of whether you open a page or check for new email messages using webmail, the content will load immediately. To offer even greater speeds, we also use a number of dedicated SSDs that function only as cache. All the content which generates lots of traffic is copied on them automatically and is later read from them and not from the primary storage drives. Of course, that content is replaced dynamically for better efficiency. What we achieve by doing this in addition to the improved speed is decreased overall load, thus reduced possibility of hardware failures, and prolonged lifespan of the primary drives, that is one more level of protection for any data that you upload to your account.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you get one of our semi-dedicated server plans, your Internet sites will be stored on a cloud platform that employs solely SSD drives for the storing of files, databases and emails. In addition to the leading-edge ZFS file system that we use, this configuration guarantees very fast loading speed for each web app hosted on our end. To guarantee that the websites of one user don't affect the ones of another one, we also use a number of SSDs as cache - our system finds files which are accessed more frequently and copies them, so that they start loading from the caching drives. The content on the latter is refreshed dynamically and for that reason we can balance the load on all of the drives, warrant their extended lifespan, reduce the risk of disk failures and, of course, provide you with a quick and reliable website hosting service.
