SSD VPS hosting is when a server hosting provider equips their virtual private servers with SSDs (Solid State Drives) for storage instead of a traditional Hard Disk Drive (HDD). SSDs store data permanently using flash memory chips formed using semiconductors, with no moving parts, unlike their hard disk counterparts. This offers many benefits, including faster write speed, greater resilience, and energy efficiency.

Who should use SSD VPS Hosting?

Similarly to what you would do with a VPS – SSD VPS hosting is beneficial for all types of websites and projects. It’s especially useful for:

  • Websites using WordPress that retrieve information from a file system and database.
  • Any application or website with a database in use
  • Developers wishing to host a dev and testing environment
  • Ecommerce platforms – where speed is critical for sales and user management
  • Websites aiming to improve their SEO ranking (site performance is a factor in determining page rank in search engine results). Our beginners guide to SEO can help you get started if you are unsure of how to navigate it
