A solid-state drive (SSD) enhances the performance of each application running on it when compared with a common hard-disk drive (HDD). The reason is that a solid-state drive employs a variety of interconnected flash memory units, so there're no physical parts to move. In contrast, a hard-disk drive works by using spinning disks and every reading or writing process causes the disks to rotate, meaning the speed of an HDD is fixed. Because the cost of the two kinds of drives also differ, a lot of PCs and web servers are equipped with an SSD for the OS and random applications, and a hard disk for file storage, this way balancing cost and efficiency. A website hosting provider can also use an SSD for caching purposes, thus files which are accessed on a regular basis will be located on this type of a drive for accomplishing improved loading speeds and for minimizing the reading/writing processes on the hard drives.

SSD with Data Caching in Shared Hosting

We use exclusively SSDs on our advanced cloud hosting platform and we've eliminated all HDDs on our production servers so as to ensure outstanding loading speeds for every aspect of our services - files, emails and databases. This way, all of the content you upload to your shared hosting account will be accessible amazingly quickly. In order to improve the overall performance of the Internet sites hosted on our end even further, we also use multiple SSDs which work solely as cache - our system stores routinely accessed content on them and updates it automatically. We employ this kind of a setup to ensure that traffic-intensive sites don't affect the performance of the other websites hosted on our platform and that way all other sites can also take advantage of the speed that the SSD drives provide. What's more, due to the fact that the load on the main drives is decreased, their life-span will be longer, which is one more guarantee for the safety and stability of your info.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you register for one of our semi-dedicated hosting plans, we will hold your content on SSD drives and this is valid not just for the files, but also for all the databases and e-mail messages. Thus, your script-driven applications and webmail will load very fast. We employ dedicated SSDs for caching as well. Traffic-intensive content is duplicated automatically on these drives, so we make certain that several heavy Internet sites that generate a large amount of reading and writing processes can't impact the other sites which share the very same drive. By reduction of the overall system load we also boost the lifespan of the main storage drives and lower the chance of a disk failure, so by employing SSD drives for caching purposes, we add an additional level of security for your site content.
