Data Compression in Cloud Hosting
The cloud web hosting platform where your cloud hosting account will be made uses the reliable ZFS file system. The LZ4 compression method that the latter employs is superior in lots of aspects, and not only does it compress info better than any compression method that a number of other file systems use, but it is also faster. The gains will be significant especially on compressible content like website files. Although it could sound illogical, uncompressing data with LZ4 is quicker than reading uncompressed data from a hard disk, so the performance of each website hosted on our servers will be upgraded. The better and quicker compression rates also allow us to make multiple daily backups of the whole content in every single Internet hosting account, so if you delete something by mistake, the last backup that we have won't be more than a few hours old. This can be done because the backups take significantly less space and their generation is fast enough, to not affect the performance of the servers.
Data Compression in Semi-dedicated Servers
In case you host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will be able to experience the advantages of LZ4 - the powerful compression algorithm employed by the ZFS file system that's behind our advanced cloud web hosting platform. What separates LZ4 from all other algorithms out there is that it has an improved compression ratio and it is way quicker, particularly with regard to uncompressing web content. It does that even quicker than uncompressed data can be read from a hard drive, so your Internet sites will perform faster. The higher speed is at the expense of using a great deal of CPU processing time, that's not a problem for our platform because it consists of a lot of clusters working together. Besides the superior performance, you will also have multiple daily backup copies at your disposal, so you can recover any deleted content with a couple of clicks. The backup copies are available for a whole month and we can afford to store them as they need a lot less space than conventional backups.
