A solid-state drive (SSD) improves the performance of every application running on it when compared to a common hard-disk drive (HDD). The reason is that an SSD uses a number of interconnected flash memory modules, so there are no physical parts to move. In contrast, a hard disk employs spinning disks and each reading or writing process causes the disks to rotate, meaning the speed of an HDD is limited. Because the prices of the two kinds of drives are different as well, numerous desktops and web servers are set up with an SSD for the operating system and random applications, and an HDD for file storage, thus balancing cost and efficiency. An Internet hosting provider can also use a solid-state drive for caching purposes, thus files which are accessed repeatedly will be held on such a drive for accomplishing better loading speeds and for limiting the reading/writing processes on the HDDs.

SSD with Data Caching in Cloud Web Hosting

If you host your Internet sites in a cloud web hosting account with us, you will definitely notice their fantastic performance. This is because our cloud platform uses solely SSD drives for all files, e-mails and databases and we don't use HDDs for any part of the web hosting service. Along with the innovative ZFS file system, this setup will raise the speed of your sites tremendously. For load-balancing, we also use a number of SSDs for caching purposes only. All content that generates increased traffic or creates a lot of reading/writing processes is copied on them instantly, so that the load on the main drives will be lower, thus the overall performance of all sites hosted with us will be better. The aforementioned subsequently prolongs the life of the main drives and lessens the potential for a disk failure, that is another guarantee for the integrity of any content which you upload to your account.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you purchase one of our semi-dedicated hosting packages, your sites will be stored on a cloud platform that uses solely SSD drives for the storing of files, databases and e-mails. Along with the cutting-edge ZFS file system that we use, this configuration provides fast loading speed for any web application hosted on our end. To guarantee that the websites of one customer will not affect the ones of another, we also use a number of SSDs as cache - our system discovers files which are accessed more frequently and clones them, so they start loading from the caching drives. The content on the latter is refreshed dynamically and consequently we can balance the load on all of the drives, guarantee their long lifespan, reduce the risk of disk failures and, of course, provide you with a quick and reliable website hosting service.
