Solid State Drive (SSD) & SSD-VPS Web Hosting (Windows)

4GoodHosting allows you the option of SSDs hosting your blog on one domain and your client’s ecommerce site on another domain – all from the same Business or Advanced hosting account. There are no technical limitations with how you can use our SSD-VPS Hosting.

Regular spinning hard drives inherently have 2 deficiencies when it comes to information retrieval. The first is the “seek time” that it takes for the drive’s read/write heads to locate the data on the disk. The second is the rotational speed of the of the disk spinning.

But SSDs have none of these limitations; nor any other limitations.

We timed the average data retrieval speed latency of our SSD VPS servers versus a VPS with hard disk drives while under high load. You can see for yourself, mechanical hard disk drives take about 18-22 (about 2000%) times longer to access database records during periods of heavy database requests.

We also tested our website builder; and it operates remarkably smoother on our SSD servers.

Serving a e-commerce store, a popular blog, or custom application generates a lot of database I/O; input and output. As a website becomes increasingly popular and traffic grows, the server hard drive(s) will start receiving more and more concurrent I/O requests. During peak load times, the amount of I/O requests can dramatically slow down the fetching of information from your database; only true for sites on traditional spinning silicon-wafer hard drives. The physical limitations of spinning hard drives and the mechanical read/write heads restrict the amount of 1110110110010010s that can be demanded at a given time.

By using SSD storage, with no moving parts, data transfer is only restricted by the speed of the network ( our shared servers are already on multiple fast 1Gbps networks ). In a speed benchmarking test, we tested our already fast SAS 15K drives against 1TB Intel SSDs during busy I/O periods. The result, was that SSDs pushed out 97% more data than the hard disk drives, almost double!

Our SSD-VPS servers utilize RAID-5 cards with battery-backed non-volatile caching; with extra backup drives to ensure data integrity throughout our SSD hosting servers.

In case of sudden power loss, any data that is yet to be written will be stored in cache until the server is rebooted to full operation. Every bit of data will then be written and stored as if no power outage had happened.

As there are no mechanical parts that could lead to disk failure or errors or higher temperatures, unlike Hard drives, SSDs work reliably, smoothly and at a higher speed. SSDs serves your website faster to visitors no matter where they are located around the world. Come up to the new norm in web serving efficiency.
