A solid-state drive (SSD) is a media that uses flash modules to store data. The SSDs are still fairly new and more pricey than the classic hard disk drives (HDD), however they're considerably faster, so they are quite often used for Operating Systems and apps on both PCs and web hosting servers. An SSD is preferred because it does not have spinning disks that limit its speed and can cause overheating like it may happen with an HDD. Many companies use SSDs for caching purposes, so any content that is accessed more often will be located on this kind of drives, while all other content will be stored on conventional HDDs. The reason to use such a setup is to balance the cost and performance of their hosting platform and to lower the load on the HDDs caused by intense reading and writing processes.

SSD with Data Caching in Cloud Web Hosting

We use only SSDs on our advanced cloud hosting platform and we've removed all HDDs on the production servers so as to provide outstanding loading speeds for every part of our services - files, emails and databases. That way, all the content you upload to your cloud web hosting account will be reachable very quickly. To enhance the overall performance of the sites hosted on our end even further, we also use multiple SSDs that work solely as cache - our system stores often accessed content on them and updates it automatically. We take advantage of this kind of a configuration to ensure that multi-media heavy Internet sites do not influence the performance of the other sites hosted on our platform and this way all other sites can also take full advantage of the speed which the SSD drives provide. In addition, since the load on the main drives is reduced, their lifespan will be longer, that is one more guarantee for the safety and integrity of your data.

If you want speed and top-notch performance for your Internet sites, our semi-dedicated hosting accounts shall be a really suitable solution because they are generated on a cloud platform that uses SSDs for each aspect of the service - e-mail addresses, databases and files. This way, every site that you host with us will load fast. Similar to other providers, we also use SSDs for caching, but since all storage drives are solid-state ones, you can take advantage of the high performance all of the time and whatever the type of your websites. The caching solid-state drives are used for load-balancing and all of the frequently accessed content is copied to them, which both lowers the load and guarantees the excellent performance of all Internet sites that load straight from the primary drives. The lifespan of the latter is also increased since there will be a lot less reading and writing processes on them.
