A solid-state drive (SSD) is a media which uses flash modules in order to store info. The solid-state drives are still relatively new and more expensive compared to classic hard disk drives (HDD), yet they're considerably faster, so they are frequently used for Operating Systems and apps on both home PCs and servers. An SSD is recommended because it does not have spinning disks that restrict its speed and can cause overheating like it could happen with an HDD. Lots of companies employ SSDs for caching purposes, so any site content that is accessed more often will be stored on this kind of drives, while all the other content will be stored on standard HDDs. The main reason to use this kind of a configuration is to balance the price and performance of their hosting platform and to lower the load on the HDDs caused by countless reading and writing processes.

SSD with Data Caching in Shared Website Hosting

We use only SSDs on our leading-edge cloud web hosting platform and we've eliminated all HDDs on our production servers so as to ensure better loading speeds for every aspect of our services - files, emails and databases. That way, all the content which you upload to your shared website hosting account will be accessible amazingly quickly. In order to enhance the performance of the Internet sites hosted on our end even more, we also use a number of SSDs which function solely as cache - our system saves frequently accessed content on them and upgrades it automatically. We employ such a configuration to guarantee that multi-media loaded sites don't influence the performance of the other Internet sites hosted on our platform and this way all other sites can also take full advantage of the speed that the SSD drives provide. What's more, since the load on the main drives is reduced, their lifespan shall be longer, which is one more guarantee for the security and stability of your data.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you need speed and high-end performance for your sites, our semi-dedicated server accounts will be a very suitable solution since they are generated on a cloud platform that uses SSDs for every part of the service - email addresses, databases and files. This way, every single site that you host with us will load fast. Similar to other companies, 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 of the time and whatever the type of your websites. The caching drives are used for load-balancing and any frequently accessed content is copied to them, which both minimizes the load and guarantees the fantastic performance of all websites that load directly from the primary drives. The lifespan of the latter is also increased as there'll be significantly less reading and writing processes on them.
