A solid-state drive (SSD) is a media that uses flash modules so as to store information. The SSDs are still fairly new and more pricey compared to standard hard disk drives (HDD), however they're faster, so they are frequently employed for Operating Systems and applications on both desktops and servers. An SSD is preferred because it does not have spinning disks that restrict its speed and can cause overheating as it may happen with an HDD. Numerous companies work with SSDs for caching purposes, so all site content which is accessed more often will be stored on this kind of drives, while all other content will be located on conventional HDDs. The reason to use this type of a setup is to balance the cost 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 Cloud Web Hosting

Our top-notch cloud website hosting platform uses only SSD drives, so in case you acquire any of our cloud web hosting solutions, you will take full advantage of the speed that these drives provide. We no longer use HDDs, so your files, databases and email messages will all load from high-speed SSDs. For even improved performance, we use caching solid-state drives. A group of drives are used by our system for each file that's accessed more often and the data on these drives is dynamically refreshed in order to ensure that all the traffic-intensive files load from them. That way, the load on the primary drives is lowered, so we can provide fantastic performance for all types of Internet sites irrespective of how many times they're accessed and avoid a situation where some Internet sites are affected by an excessive number of reading and writing processes generated by others. This setup also improves the lifespan of the primary drives and reduces the possibility of disk failure.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you get one of our semi-dedicated hosting plans, your websites will be stored on a cloud platform that uses only SSD drives for the storing of files, databases and e-mails. Along with the advanced ZFS file system that we use, this setup provides very fast loading speed for each 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 identifies files that 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 as a result we can balance the load on all the drives, ensure their extended lifespan, lower the risk of disk failures and, of course, provide you with a fast and reliable web hosting service.
