Data Compression in Shared Hosting
The compression algorithm used by the ZFS file system which runs on our cloud hosting platform is named LZ4. It can improve the performance of any Internet site hosted in a shared hosting account on our end as not only does it compress data more effectively than algorithms used by various other file systems, but it uncompresses data at speeds which are higher than the hard disk reading speeds. This can be done by using a great deal of CPU processing time, that is not a problem for our platform because it uses clusters of powerful servers working together. An additional advantage of LZ4 is that it allows us to create backup copies at a higher speed and on less disk space, so we will have several daily backups of your databases and files and their generation won't affect the performance of the servers. In this way, we can always restore any kind of content that you may have deleted by accident.
Data Compression in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you host your websites in a semi-dedicated hosting account from our firm, you'll 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 the other algorithms out there is that it has an improved compression ratio and it is considerably faster, especially when it comes to uncompressing website content. It does that even faster than uncompressed information can be read from a hard drive, so your Internet sites will perform better. The higher speed is at the expense of using lots of CPU processing time, that is not a problem for our platform since it consists of a lot of clusters working together. Along 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 just a few clicks. The backups are available for a whole month and we can afford to store them because they take considerably less space compared to traditional backups.
