Data Compression in Shared Hosting
The cloud hosting platform where your shared hosting account will be created works by using the innovative ZFS file system. The LZ4 compression method which the aforementioned employs is greater in a number of aspects, and not only does it compress information better than any compression method that some other file systems use, but it's also much faster. The benefits may be significant particularly on compressible content like website files. Although it may sound unreasonable, uncompressing data with LZ4 is faster than reading uncompressed data from a hard drive, so the performance of any Internet site hosted on our servers will be improved. The better and faster compression rates also allow us to make multiple daily backups of the full content in every single web hosting account, so should you delete anything by mistake, the last backup which we have will not be more than a few hours old. This can be done because the backups take considerably less space and their generation is quick enough, so as to not affect the performance of the servers.
Data Compression in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you host your sites in a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you can experience the advantages of LZ4 - the powerful compression algorithm used by the ZFS file system that is 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 much quicker, in particular with regard to uncompressing website content. It does that even faster than uncompressed info can be read from a hard drive, so your websites will perform faster. The higher speed is at the expense of using lots of CPU processing time, that is not an issue for our platform as it consists of a lot of clusters working together. In addition to the superior performance, you will also have multiple daily backup copies at your disposal, so you will be able to restore any deleted content with a few clicks. The backups are available for a whole month and we can afford to keep them as they take significantly less space compared to standard backups.
