A solid-state drive is incredibly quicker than any normal hard-disk drive. The reason is that a hard-disk drive employs spinning disks, that can rotate only so fast and the more data is read and written, the sluggish and warmer they become, while an SDD takes advantage of modules of flash memory, hence there are no physically moving components. The access speeds for an SSD are significantly higher, which makes this sort of drives an ideal solution every time speed is needed. This is the reason why SSDs are frequently used for the Operating System on a PC and for keeping data that is accessed frequently on web servers. A large number of providers also use a combination of both drives, so they keep the data on hard disk drives, but they use one or more SSDs to cache the more often used data and because of that, the data loads a lot quicker while the load on the HDDs is decreased since their disks need to spin less often to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Website Hosting

If you host your websites in a website hosting account from our company, you will notice their excellent performance. This is because our cloud platform uses solely SSD drives for all of the files, e-mails and databases and we do not use HDDs for any part of the hosting service. In addition to the state-of-the-art ZFS file system, this setup will boost the speed of your websites significantly. For load-balancing, we also use a number of SSDs for caching purposes only. All the content which generates increased traffic or creates plenty of reading/writing processes is duplicated on them promptly, so the load on the primary drives will be reduced, thus the overall performance of all websites hosted on our end will be better. The latter subsequently prolongs the life of the main drives and decreases the potential for a disk failure, that is one more warranty for the reliability of any content which you upload to your account.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you purchase one of our semi-dedicated server packages, your websites will be stored on a cloud platform which uses solely SSD drives for the storing of files, databases and email messages. In addition to the revolutionary ZFS file system that we use, this setup guarantees extremely fast loading speed for every web app hosted on our end. To ensure that the websites of one customer will not affect the ones of another, we also use multiple SSDs as cache - our system finds files which are accessed more frequently and duplicates them, so that they start loading from the caching drives. The content on the latter is refreshed dynamically and therefore we can balance the load on all drives, guarantee their extended lifespan, lower the risk of disk failures and, of course, provide you with a quick and reliable website hosting service.
