SSD with Data Caching
See how your websites will have noticeably improved performance on a hosting server, provided with SSDs with Data Caching.
A solid-state drive is incredibly quicker than any regular hard disk. It is because a hard-disk drive employs rotating disks, that can rotate only so fast and the more info is read and written, the slower and warmer they become, whereas an SDD works with modules of flash memory, so there are no physically moving parts. The access speeds for an SSD are a lot higher, which makes this sort of drives an ideal solution in case speed is needed. This is the reason why SSDs are in many cases used for the Operating System on a personal computer and for saving data that is used frequently on hosting servers. Numerous providers also use a combination of the two drives, so they keep the data on hard drives, but they use a couple of SSDs so as to cache the more frequently used data and as a consequence, the data loads a lot faster while the load on the HDDs is lowered as their disks need to spin less often in order to read and write.
SSD with Data Caching in Shared Web Hosting
The cloud platform where we make shared web hosting accounts uses solely SSD drives, so your web applications and static websites will open extremely fast. The SSDs are used for files, e-mails and databases, so no matter if you open a page or check for new e-mails through webmail, the content will load without delay. So as to ensure even higher speeds, we also use a group of dedicated SSDs that work only as cache. All of the content that generates a lot of traffic is copied on them automatically and is later on read from them and not from the primary storage drives. Of course, that content is replaced dynamically for better efficiency. What we achieve by doing this apart from the better speed is lowered overall load, thus reduced possibility of hardware failures, and longer lifespan of the primary drives, that's one more level of protection for any information that you upload to your account.
