A solid-state drive (SSD) enhances the performance of every app running on it compared to an ordinary hard-disk drive (HDD). The reason is that a solid-state drive works by using many different interconnected flash memory modules, so there are no physical parts to move. In comparison, an HDD uses spinning disks and every reading or writing process causes the disks to spin, which means that the speed of an HDD is limited. As the prices of the two types of drives also differ, many personal computers and web servers are equipped with an SSD for the OS and random applications, and an HDD for data storage, this way balancing price and effectiveness. An Internet hosting service provider may also use a solid-state drive for caching purposes, so files which are accessed repeatedly will be located on such a drive for reaching improved loading speeds and for minimizing the reading/writing processes on the hard drives.

SSD with Data Caching in Shared Hosting

In case you host your websites in a shared hosting account from us, you will definitely notice their excellent performance. This is because our cloud platform uses exclusively SSD drives for all the files, e-mails and databases and we do not use HDDs for any part of the Internet hosting service. Along with the amazing ZFS file system, this setup will boost the speed of your websites drastically. For load-balancing, we also use numerous SSDs for caching purposes only. All content that generates increased traffic or causes plenty 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 Internet sites hosted on our end will be better. The aforementioned subsequently prolongs the life of the primary drives and lessens the potential for a disk failure, that is an additional warranty for the reliability of all content which you upload to your account.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you acquire one of our semi-dedicated hosting plans, your websites will be stored on a cloud platform which uses exclusively SSD drives for the storing of files, databases and e-mails. Along with the leading-edge ZFS file system that we use, this configuration guarantees very fast loading speed for each web app hosted on our end. To guarantee that the sites of one user will not affect the ones of another one, we also use multiple SSDs as cache - our system finds 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 for that reason we can balance the load on all drives, warrant their long lifespan, decrease the risk of disk failures and, of course, offer you a quick and reliable Internet hosting service.
