A solid-state drive (SSD) is a media that uses flash modules in order to save information. The solid-state drives are still fairly new and more expensive when compared to standard hard disk drives (HDD), however they're considerably faster, so they are quite often employed for Operating Systems and applications on both personal computers and web servers. An SSD is preferred as it does not have spinning disks which limit its speed and may cause overheating like it may happen with an HDD. Lots of companies use SSDs for caching purposes, so all of the site content which is accessed more frequently will be stored on this kind of drives, while all the other content will be held on ordinary HDDs. The reason to use this type of a setup is to balance the cost and overall performance of their website hosting platform and to decrease the load on the HDDs resulting from countless reading and writing processes.

SSD with Data Caching in Shared Website Hosting

Our top-notch cloud Internet hosting platform employs solely SSD drives, so if you go for any of our shared website hosting plans, you will benefit from the speed that the drives provide. We no longer use hard disk drives, so your files, databases and e-mails will all load from ultra fast SSDs. For even greater performance, we use caching SSDs. A group of drives are used by our system for any file which is accessed more often and the data on these drives is dynamically refreshed to ensure that all traffic-intensive files load from them. This way, the load on the main drives is lowered, so we can ensure fantastic performance for all kinds of sites no matter how often they are accessed and avoid a situation where some sites are affected by an excessive number of reading and writing processes generated by others. This setup also raises the lifespan of the primary drives and decreases the possibility of disk failure.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you purchase one of our semi-dedicated hosting packages, your Internet sites will be stored on a cloud platform that uses solely SSD drives for the storing of files, databases and e-mails. In addition to the leading-edge ZFS file system that we use, this setup ensures very fast loading speed for every web app hosted on our end. To guarantee that the sites of one customer won't affect the ones of another one, we also use numerous SSDs as cache - our system detects 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 because of this we can balance the load on all drives, guarantee their extended life-span, decrease the risk of disk failures and, of course, supply a super fast and reliable Internet hosting service.
