SSD with Data Caching
Discover how your websites will have substantially improved performance on a hosting server, provided with SSDs with Data Caching.
A solid-state drive is really quicker than any regular hard-disk drive. It is because an HDD works by using rotating disks, that can rotate only so fast and the more info is read and written, the sluggish and hotter they become, at the same time an SDD operates with modules of flash memory, hence there are no actually moving parts. The access speeds for an SSD are much higher, which makes this type of drives the best solution in case speed is needed. Because of this SSDs are often employed for the Operating System on a PC and for storing data that is used frequently on web servers. A large number of providers also use a combination of both drives, so they store the data on hard disk drives, but they use one or more solid-state drives in order to cache the more often used data and for that reason, the data loads a lot quicker while the load on the HDDs is lowered because their disks have to spin less frequently to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Hosting
The cloud platform where we make
hosting accounts uses solely SSD drives, so your web applications and static Internet sites will load very fast. The SSDs are used for files, emails and databases, so regardless if you open a page or check for new emails using webmail, the content will load instantly. In order to offer even better speeds, we also use a group of dedicated SSDs which work only as cache. All of the content that generates lots of traffic is copied on them automatically and is later read from them and not from the main storage drives. Needless to say, that content is replaced dynamically for better efficiency. What we achieve by doing this in addition to the better speed is decreased overall load, thus reduced chance of hardware failures, and longer lifespan of the primary drives, which is one more level of security for any info that you upload to your account.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you purchase one of our
semi-dedicated hosting plans, your websites will be stored on a cloud platform which employs exclusively SSD drives for the storage of files, databases and e-mail messages. In addition to the advanced ZFS file system that we use, this configuration provides very fast loading speed for any web application hosted on our end. To guarantee that the sites of one customer don't 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 that they start loading from the caching drives. The content on the latter is updated dynamically and because of this we can balance the load on all drives, ensure their long life-span, reduce the risk of disk failures and, of course, supply a quick and reliable website hosting service.
