SSD with Data Caching in Cloud Website Hosting
The cloud platform where we make cloud website hosting accounts uses only SSD drives, so your web apps and static Internet sites will load very quickly. The SSDs are used for files, e-mail addresses and databases, so no matter if you load a page or check for new email messages with webmail, the content will load right away. To ensure even higher speeds, we also use a group of dedicated SSDs that work only as cache. All the content which generates a lot of traffic is copied on them automatically and is later read from them and not from the main storage drives. Of course, that content is replaced dynamically for improved efficiency. What we achieve that way aside from the better speed is reduced overall load, thus decreased possibility of hardware failures, and longer lifespan of the main drives, that's one more level of security for any data that you upload to your account.
SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Servers
All semi-dedicated server accounts that we offer are generated on a cloud platform which employs only SSD drives. We do not use HDDs any longer, so your sites will load quickly as we use SSDs for each part of the service - files, databases and emails. Considering that some customers may host Internet sites that can be more frequently visited than others, we also use many drives for caching. Our system identifies all the content which is accessed more frequently and duplicates it on these drives so as to load it from them. This setup is used for load-balancing purposes as we ensure that several reading/writing intensive sites will not affect the performance of the other sites which are stored on the same main drive. Using caching drives also increases the lifespan of the main storage SSDs and lowers the probability of disk failures.
