A solid-state drive is noticeably faster than any conventional hard disk. 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 hotter they become, while an SDD employs modules of flash memory, hence there aren't any actually moving components. The access speeds for an SSD are significantly higher, which makes these drives a preferred solution if speed is needed. This is the reason why SSDs are in many cases used for the Operating System on a PC and for keeping data that is used regularly on servers. Many service providers also use a combination of the two drives, so they keep the data on hard drives, but they use one or more SSDs so as to cache the more frequently used data and because of this, the data loads faster while the load on the HDDs is reduced because their disks need to spin less frequently to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Cloud Web Hosting

The cloud platform where we make cloud web hosting accounts uses exclusively SSD drives, so your web applications and static sites will open very quickly. The SSDs are used for files, emails and databases, so regardless of whether you open a page or check for new messages through webmail, the content will load very quickly. To offer even greater speeds, we also use multiple dedicated SSDs that function only as cache. All of the content which generates lots of traffic is copied on them automatically and is later on read from them and not from the primary storage drives. Of course, that content is replaced dynamically for better efficiency. What we achieve that way in addition to the improved speed is reduced overall load, thus reduced possibility of hardware failures, and prolonged lifespan of the main drives, that's one more level of security for any information that you upload to your account.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you buy one of our semi-dedicated hosting packages, your Internet sites will be stored on a cloud platform that uses only SSD drives for the storing of files, databases and email messages. Together with the revolutionary ZFS file system that we use, this setup guarantees very fast loading speed for any web application hosted on our end. To guarantee that the Internet sites of one user don't affect the ones of another one, we also use numerous SSDs as cache - our system identifies files that are accessed more frequently and duplicates 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, warrant their extended lifespan, minimize the risk of disk failures and, of course, provide a super fast and reliable web hosting service.
