A solid-state drive is significantly quicker than any conventional hard disk. The reason is that an HDD uses spinning disks, which can rotate only so fast and the more information is read and written, the sluggish and hotter they get, whereas an SDD employs modules of flash memory, therefore there aren't any physically moving components. The access speeds for an SSD are substantially higher, which makes this sort of drives the right solution any time speed is needed. Because of this SSDs are in many cases employed for the Operating System on a laptop or computer and for keeping data that's accessed often on hosting servers. A large number of 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 often used data and consequently, the data loads quicker while the load on the HDDs is decreased because their disks need to spin less often to read and write.
SSD with Data Caching in Shared Website Hosting
We use solely SSDs on our advanced cloud web hosting platform and we've eliminated all HDDs on the production servers so as to ensure better loading speeds for all aspects of our services - files, e-mails and databases. Thus, all the content you upload to your shared website hosting account will be accessible very quickly. To improve the overall performance of the sites hosted on our end even further, we also use a number of SSDs which function only as cache - our system saves regularly accessed content on them and upgrades it without delay. We use this kind of a setup to guarantee that multi-media heavy sites will not influence the performance of the other websites hosted on our platform and this way all other Internet sites can also take full advantage of the speed which the SSD drives provide. What's more, given that the load on the main drives is reduced, their life-span shall be longer, that is one more warranty for the safety and stability of your information.
SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you want speed and fantastic performance for your sites, our semi-dedicated server accounts will be a really suitable solution as they're created on a cloud platform which uses SSDs for every part of the service - email addresses, databases and files. That way, each and every Internet site that you host here will load fast. Similar to 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 good performance all the time and regardless of the nature of your websites. The caching solid-state drives are used for load-balancing and all of the frequently accessed content is copied on them, which both decreases the load and guarantees the optimal performance of all sites which load from the main drives. The lifespan of the latter is also increased because there will be considerably less reading and writing processes on them.
