The A2 Hosting SSD Advantage

  • Faster Speed - Speed is the obvious advantage of SSD Hosting. According to our speed tests, sites hosted on our SSDs are 300% faster page loads than sites hosted on an HDD.
  • Enhanced Reliability - Because SSDs are more efficient in how it handles read/write operations, SSDs are more capable of handing peak use times. SSDs are also more durable because they do not have moving parts so SSDs wear slower than HDDs.
  • Environmentally Friendly - Solid state drives use less power than traditional HDDS. As a green hosting provider, that's a plus in our book!

The bottom line though is that SSD Hosting is simply faster. Get started now completely risk free with our Anytime Money Back Guarantee!

What Is SSD Hosting?

Before becoming ones of the first providers to offer solid state drive (SSD) hosting, we offered hard disk drive (HDD) hosting. While HDDs use spinning platters with a read/write head on a mechanical arm to record data, SSDs on the other hand use flash memory. SSDs primary speed advantage stems from them containing no moving parts so read and write times are greatly improved. A2 Hosting's SSDs perform thousands of input/output operations every second while standard hard disk drives can only perform hundreds.

Additional SSD Hosting Services

Want all of these SSD advantages, but on one of our other hosting services? You're in luck! SSDs are also available on:

HDD vs SSD - What No Moving Parts Actually Means

The key to understanding how SSDs make your web site faster is to understand that:

  • HDDs feature a spinning platter and an arm (almost like a turntable/record player)
  • SSDs are powered by flash memory (microchips)

You also want to remember the storing your site does not store data in a sequential way. Since the data on the server is not in sequential order, an HDDs spinning platter spins to find the piece of data it's looking for, continually rotating as it finds its next piece of data. Obviously this can create bottlenecks because these platters can only spin so fast.

With an SSD, the server can quickly pick and choose the pieces of data it needs because it's powered by flash memory. It isn't relying on a spinning platter and an arm. It doesn't matter that the data is not in sequential order.

Still Don't Understand SSD Hosting?

Think of an HDD as a record and an SSD as an MP3 player. Imagine you want to listen to a specific song. There really isn't a great way to quickly get to that song on a record player because you have to wait until the arm reaches that song. You can pick up the arm and try to find the location on the record, but it's a slow process. On an MP3 player though, you can quickly move to the desired song with a few clicks of a button. Want to move to another song? Just click the forward and back button a few more times to find it.

Here's another example. Let's compare SSD Server Hosting and HDD Hosting to grocery shopping. Imagine you have your shopping list. HDD Hosting would be if you could only add items to your cart in the order of your list, even if that meant walking to one end of the store to the other. That would take a long time, right? SSD Hosting on the other hand would allow you to add items to your cart as you passed them throughout the store, meaning you would have a much faster shopping trip.
