A solid-state drive is really quicker than any conventional hard-disk drive. This is because an HDD works by using spinning disks, which can rotate only so fast and the more information is read and written, the sluggish and hotter they become, whereas an SDD uses modules of flash memory, so there aren't any actually moving parts. The access speeds for an SSD are significantly higher, which makes this type of drives a recommended solution if speed is needed. This is the reason why SSDs are in many cases used for the Operating System on a laptop or computer and for storing data that's accessed often on hosting servers. Many providers also use a combination of the two drives, so they keep the data on HDDs, but they use several solid-state drives so as to cache the more frequently used data and as a result, the data loads a lot faster while the load on the HDDs is decreased as their disks have to spin less frequently in order to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Shared Hosting

Our innovative cloud web hosting platform employs solely SSD drives, so in case you purchase any of our shared hosting packages, you will take advantage of the speed that the drives provide. We no longer use hard drives, so your files, databases and e-mail messages will all load from extremely fast SSDs. For even improved performance, we also use caching solid-state drives. Multiple drives are used by our system for each file which is accessed often and the data on these drives is dynamically updated in order to make sure that all traffic-intensive files load from them. That way, the load on the main drives is reduced, so we can ensure perfect performance for all types of websites regardless of how many times they're accessed and prevent a situation where some Internet sites are affected by an excessive number of reading and writing processes created by others. This setup also increases the lifespan of the primary drives and reduces the possibility of disk failure.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you obtain one of our semi-dedicated server packages, your sites will be stored on a cloud platform that uses exclusively SSD drives for the storing of files, databases and email messages. In addition to the revolutionary ZFS file system that we use, this setup guarantees lightning-fast loading speed for every web app hosted on our end. To ensure that the Internet sites of one customer don't affect the ones of another one, we also use numerous SSDs as cache - our system discovers files which are accessed more frequently and clones them, so that they start loading from the caching drives. The content on the latter is updated dynamically and consequently we can balance the load on all drives, guarantee their extended lifespan, reduce the risk of disk failures and, of course, provide you with a fast and reliable Internet hosting service.
