A solid-state drive (SSD) is a media which uses flash modules in order to save information. The solid-state drives are still relatively new and more pricey when compared to standard hard disk drives (HDD), however they're much faster, so they are often used for Operating Systems and apps on both home computer systems and web servers. An SSD is preferred as it doesn't have spinning disks that restrict its speed and can even cause overheating like it may happen with an HDD. Most companies employ SSDs for caching purposes, so any content which is accessed more often will be kept on this type of drives, while all the other content will be kept on conventional HDDs. The main reason to use this type of a setup is to balance the price and performance of their website hosting platform and to minimize the load on the HDDs caused by intense reading and writing processes.

SSD with Data Caching in Cloud Hosting

We use exclusively SSDs on our state-of-the-art cloud hosting platform and we've removed all HDDs on the production servers so as to offer outstanding loading speeds for all aspects of our services - files, emails and databases. This way, all of the content which you upload to your cloud hosting account will be accessible very quickly. In order to enhance the overall performance of the websites hosted on our end even more, we also use a number of SSDs that work only as cache - our system saves often accessed content on them and upgrades it automatically. We employ this kind of a setup to make sure that multi-media loaded sites will never influence the performance of the other websites hosted on our platform and that way all other sites can also take full advantage of the speed that the SSD drives provide. Furthermore, due to the fact that the load on the main drives is decreased, their lifespan shall be longer, which is one more warranty for the safety and stability of your information.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you need speed and high-end performance for your Internet 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 - e-mail addresses, databases and files. That way, every website that you host with us will load fast. Just like other companies, we also use SSDs for caching, but since all storage drives are solid-state ones, you will be able to take advantage of the top-notch performance all the time and whatever the type of your sites. The caching solid-state drives are used for load-balancing and all of the frequently accessed content is copied to them, which both minimizes the load and provides the optimal performance of all sites which load from the primary drives. The lifespan of the latter will also be increased because there'll be significantly less reading and writing processes on them.
