A solid-state drive (SSD) is a media that uses flash modules so as to save data. The SSDs remain fairly new and more pricey than the classic hard disk drives (HDD), yet they're faster, so they are ordinarily used for Operating Systems and applications on both home PCs and hosting servers. An SSD is recommended because it doesn't have spinning disks that limit its speed and can even cause overheating as it may happen with an HDD. Lots of companies employ SSDs for caching purposes, so all the content that is accessed more frequently will be stored on this type of drives, while all other content will be stored on ordinary HDDs. The main reason to use this type of a configuration is to balance the cost and overall performance of their website hosting platform and to minimize the load on the HDDs resulting from intense reading and writing processes.

SSD with Data Caching in Cloud Web Hosting

In case you host your websites in a cloud web hosting account with our company, you'll definitely notice their fantastic performance. The reason is that our cloud platform uses solely SSD drives for all files, e-mails and databases and we do not use HDDs for any part of the web hosting service. In addition to the leading-edge ZFS file system, this setup will boost the speed of your Internet sites significantly. For load-balancing, we also use multiple SSDs for caching purposes only. All the content which generates increased traffic or causes plenty of reading/writing processes is copied on them instantly, so that the load on the primary drives will be reduced, thus the overall performance of all websites hosted on our end will improve. The aforementioned subsequently prolongs the life of the main drives and decreases the possibility of a disk failure, that is another warranty for the integrity 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 sites will be stored on a cloud platform that uses only SSD drives for the storage of files, databases and email messages. In addition to the revolutionary ZFS file system that we use, this setup provides extremely fast loading speed for every web app hosted on our end. To ensure that the websites of one customer do not affect the ones of another one, we also use numerous SSDs as cache - our system identifies files that are accessed more frequently and clones them, so that they start loading from the caching drives. The content on the latter is refreshed dynamically and consequently we can balance the load on all drives, warrant their extended life-span, decrease the risk of disk failures and, of course, provide a super fast and reliable web hosting service.
