A solid-state drive is much quicker than any normal hard-disk drive. It is because an HDD works by using spinning disks, which can rotate only so fast and the more info is read and written, the sluggish and hotter they get, at the same time an SDD operates with modules of flash memory, so there are no actually moving components. The access speeds for an SSD are significantly higher, which makes this kind of drives the best solution if speed is needed. This is the reason why SSDs are frequently used for the Operating System on a home PC and for saving data that's accessed often on servers. A large number of providers also use a combination of the two drives, so they store the data on hard-disks, but they use one or more solid-state drives to cache the more frequently used data and due to this fact, the data loads a lot quicker while the load on the HDDs is reduced because their disks need to spin less often to read and write.
SSD with Data Caching in Cloud Web Hosting
We use solely SSDs on our advanced cloud web hosting platform and we've removed all HDDs on the production servers as to offer lightning-fast loading speeds for every aspect of our services - files, emails and databases. Thus, all the content which you upload to your cloud web hosting account will be accessible amazingly quickly. To boost the overall performance of the sites hosted on our end even further, we also use a number of SSDs that function solely as cache - our system saves often accessed content on them and upgrades it automatically. We use this type of a setup to guarantee that traffic-intensive sites do not influence the performance of the other sites hosted on our platform and that way all other Internet sites can also take full advantage of the speed that the SSD drives provide. In addition, given that the load on the main drives is reduced, their lifespan shall be longer, that's one more warranty for the safety and integrity of your info.
SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting
In case you acquire one of our semi-dedicated hosting plans, your sites will be stored on a cloud platform which employs exclusively SSD drives for the storage of files, databases and email messages. Together with the cutting-edge ZFS file system that we use, this setup ensures fast loading speed for each web app hosted on our end. To ensure that the websites of one user will not affect the ones of another, we also use multiple SSDs as cache - our system discovers files that are accessed more frequently and copies them, so they start loading from the caching drives. The content on the latter is refreshed dynamically and therefore we can balance the load on all of the drives, guarantee their extended lifespan, reduce the risk of disk failures and, of course, provide you with a quick and reliable website hosting service.
