HDD vs SSD Web server? - ๖ۣۜMrRoot - Jan 2, 2016

I have the choice between

14GB Ram, 2 Cores 100gb SSD

and

7GB Ram, 4 Cores 150gb HDD


Which should I chose for multiple websites on the same VPS?

Thanks.

What read/write speeds do the HDD and SSS have? Typically, I'd go for the SSD storage though.

Has we all know SSD is a lot better than HDD but with the HDD that's where you will earn money if you can get the clients.

PHP is more memory then CPU, if you want to trade of your cores for the SSD then go for it.

SSD, by far. The question shouldn't be "SSD vs HDD", it should be "SSD vs 2 extra cores". And even still, the answer is SSD. The 2 cores is fine for hosting websites. The extra RAM is a bonus too, with PHP and MySQL running.

The first one definately, because of the SSD. But the cores are very important too.
I searched a lot the internet for best server services etc, can you tell me which is the company that you want to order from? I'm curious. Also, maybe I can recommend you something better with 1GB/s connection, no reff or other craps.

I get these from a partnership from a big company for free, no way to get me a better offer.

Anyway thanks for the replies, closing...
