SSD with Data Caching in Shared Hosting
The cloud platform where we create shared hosting accounts uses exclusively SSD drives, so your web applications and static sites will load extremely fast. The SSDs are used for files, email addresses and databases, so regardless of whether you open a page or check for new emails using webmail, the content will load promptly. To offer even greater speeds, we also use multiple dedicated SSDs which work only as cache. Any content which generates lots of traffic is copied on them automatically and is later on read from them and not from the main storage drives. Needless to say, that content is replaced dynamically for better performance. What we achieve in this way apart from the better speed is lowered overall load, thus lower potential for hardware failures, and prolonged lifespan of the main drives, that's one more level of protection for any data that you upload to your account.
SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Servers
In case you get one of our semi-dedicated server plans, your websites will be stored on a cloud platform which employs only SSD drives for the storing 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 each web app hosted on our end. To ensure that the sites of one user won't affect the ones of another, we also use a number of SSDs as cache - our system discovers files which are accessed more frequently and duplicates them, so they start loading from the caching drives. The content on the latter is updated dynamically and therefore we can balance the load on all of the drives, warrant their extended lifespan, reduce the risk of disk failures and, of course, provide a super fast and reliable web hosting service.
