SSD Hosting

For years, servers have used the standard HDD, or Hard Disk Drives, for storage. These rely on physical spinning platters or disks with moving mechanical parts. However, the physical magnetic heads of an HDD need to seek back and forth over the platters to gather all your data, which can slow things down.

This is where our SSD hosting is superior. An SSD server utilizes integrated flash memory to read data much faster than a standard HDD. With no physical moving parts to slow down the data retrieval process, an SSD is the perfect hard drive to run your business.

When users visit your website, to provide a good user experience, the server hosting your website must read data from the hard drive and quickly present your website. Unlike HDD web hosting, which uses physical parts to gather data and serve your website to end-users, SSD web hosting removes physical part obstacles and can read and serve your website much faster.

Standard HDDs are the traditional technology for retrieving data and serving your website to users. However, new SSDs allow for 20x faster data retrieval by removing the need for physical spinning disks, allowing your users to view your site faster.

Yes, our SSD hosting is much faster than HDD hosting. An SSD can be about 20 times faster than a standard HDD when a server is busy with I/O requests. When a server is busy with I/O requests, a standard HDD might only push through about 5% as much data as an SSD. When a server is not busy with I/O requests, a typical HDD can only push through about 35% of data as an SSD.

Yes, an SSD server is worth the added speed and positive user experience your website will present to users. Here are some additional benefits of SSD server hosting:

Improved Performance – Faster read/write speeds allow your website to load faster.

Improved Uptime – Even during peak usage times, backed up I/O requests can be served quickly with SSD hosting.

Lower Power Needs – With no moving parts, SSDs can save a lot of power compared to a standard HDD.
