Data Compression in Website Hosting
The cloud hosting platform where your website hosting account is created uses the innovative ZFS file system. The LZ4 compression method that the aforementioned employs is better in many aspects, and not only does it compress information better than any compression method which some other file systems use, but it's also much faster. The benefits will be significant in particular on compressible content such as website files. While it could sound irrational, uncompressing data with LZ4 is faster than reading uncompressed info from a hard disk, so the performance of any website hosted on our servers shall be better. The better and quicker compression rates also make it possible for us to produce multiple daily backups of the entire content in each and every web hosting account, so should you delete something by mistake, the last back-up copy that we have will not be more than a couple of hours old. This is possible as the backups take considerably less space and their generation is fast enough, to not change the performance of the servers.
Data Compression in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated hosting account with our company, you can experience the advantages of LZ4 - the powerful compression algorithm employed by the ZFS file system that is behind our advanced cloud hosting platform. What separates LZ4 from all of the other algorithms out there is that it has an improved compression ratio and it is considerably quicker, especially with regard to uncompressing website content. It does that even faster than uncompressed data can be read from a hard disk drive, so your Internet sites will perform faster. The higher speed comes at the expense of using plenty of CPU processing time, which is not a problem for our platform as it consists of a lot of clusters working together. Together with the improved performance, you will also have multiple daily backup copies at your disposal, so you'll be able to restore any deleted content with just a few clicks. The backups are available for an entire month and we can afford to store them since they need considerably less space than ordinary backups.
