A solid-state drive (SSD) boosts the performance of any app running on it in comparison with a common hard-disk drive (HDD). The reason is that a solid-state drive functions with multiple interconnected flash memory modules, so there're no physical parts to move. In comparison, a hard-disk drive features spinning disks and every reading or writing process causes the disks to rotate, so the speed of an HDD is limited. Because the cost of the two types of drives are also different, a lot of personal computers and web servers are provided with an SSD for the operating system and various applications, and a hard-disk drive for data storage, this way balancing cost and overall performance. An Internet hosting provider may also use a solid-state drive for caching purposes, thus files which are used regularly will be kept on this type of a drive for reaching higher loading speeds and for minimizing the reading/writing processes on the hard drives.

SSD with Data Caching in Cloud Hosting

In case you host your Internet sites in a cloud hosting account with our company, you will definitely notice their fantastic performance. This is because our cloud platform uses only SSD drives for all the files, e-mail addresses and databases and we do not use HDDs for any part of the website hosting service. Along with the advanced ZFS file system, this setup will increase the speed of your Internet sites substantially. For load-balancing, we also use multiple SSDs for caching purposes only. All the content that generates increased traffic or causes a lot of reading/writing processes is copied on them instantly, so the load on the primary drives will be lower, thus the overall performance of all sites hosted with us will be better. The abovementioned in turn prolongs the life of the main drives and lessens the potential for a disk failure, that is one more warranty for the integrity of any content that you upload to your account.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you get one of our semi-dedicated hosting packages, your sites will be stored on a cloud platform which employs only SSD drives for the storing of files, databases and e-mail messages. Along with the revolutionary ZFS file system that we use, this setup provides very fast loading speed for each web app hosted on our end. To guarantee that the sites of one user do not affect the ones of another one, we also use numerous SSDs as cache - our system finds files that are accessed more frequently and duplicates them, so they start loading from the caching drives. The content on the latter is updated dynamically and consequently we can balance the load on all drives, guarantee their extended life-span, decrease the risk of disk failures and, of course, offer you a fast and reliable website hosting service.
