A solid-state drive (SSD) is a media that uses flash modules so as to store data. The solid-state drives are still relatively new and more pricey when compared to classic hard disk drives (HDD), but they are faster, so they are frequently employed for Operating Systems and apps on both personal computers and servers. An SSD is recommended as it doesn't have spinning disks that restrict its speed and could cause overheating as it could happen with an HDD. Lots of companies employ SSDs for caching purposes, so all the content which is accessed more frequently will be kept on such drives, while all the other content will be kept on regular HDDs. The reason to use such a setup is to balance the price and overall performance of their web hosting platform and to lower the load on the HDDs resulting from countless reading and writing processes.

SSD with Data Caching in Shared Web Hosting

Our state-of-the-art cloud website hosting platform uses only SSD drives, so in case you acquire any of our shared web hosting plans, you will benefit from the speed that these drives provide. We no longer use hard disk drives, so your files, databases and e-mails will all load from fast SSDs. For even better performance, we also use caching solid-state drives. A number of drives are used by our system for any file that's accessed more regularly and the data on these drives is dynamically refreshed to make sure that all traffic-intensive files load from them. This way, the load on the primary drives is lowered, so we can guarantee perfect performance for all Internet sites no matter how many times they're accessed and prevent a situation where some websites are affected by an excessive number of reading and writing processes generated by others. This setup also improves the lifespan of the primary drives and decreases the possibility of disk failure.

Similar to other service providers, we also use SSDs for caching, but since all storage drives are solid-state ones, you will be able to take advantage of the top-notch performance all the time and irrespective of the nature of your websites. The caching drives are used for load-balancing and all of the frequently accessed content is copied to them, which both lowers the load and ensures the fantastic performance of all Internet sites that load straight from the main drives. The lifespan of the latter will also be increased as there'll be considerably less reading and writing processes on them.
