Data Compression in Shared Website Hosting
The compression algorithm employed by the ZFS file system which runs on our cloud hosting platform is known as LZ4. It can enhance the performance of any Internet site hosted in a shared website hosting account on our end since not only does it compress info more effectively than algorithms employed by various file systems, but it uncompresses data at speeds which are higher than the hard disk reading speeds. This can be done by using a lot of CPU processing time, which is not a problem for our platform considering the fact that it uses clusters of powerful servers working together. A further advantage of LZ4 is that it enables us to make backups faster and on less disk space, so we will have multiple daily backups of your databases and files and their generation will not influence the performance of the servers. That way, we can always recover all the content that you could have erased by mistake.
Data Compression in Semi-dedicated Servers
In case you host your sites in a semi-dedicated server account from our firm, you will be able to experience the advantages of LZ4 - the powerful compression algorithm employed by the ZFS file system that is behind our advanced cloud Internet hosting platform. What differentiates LZ4 from all other algorithms out there is that it has a better compression ratio and it is way quicker, particularly when it comes to uncompressing website content. It does that even faster than uncompressed information can be read from a hard drive, so your sites will perform faster. The higher speed comes at the expense of using a considerable amount of CPU processing time, that's not an issue for our platform because it consists of numerous clusters working together. In combination with the improved performance, you'll also have multiple daily backup copies at your disposal, so you'll be able to recover any deleted content with several clicks. The backups are available for an entire month and we can afford to keep them as they take a lot less space than ordinary backups.
