Data Compression in Website Hosting
The cloud internet hosting platform where your website hosting account is made works by using the reliable ZFS file system. The LZ4 compression method which the latter employs is better in lots of aspects, and not only does it compress information better than any compression method which a variety of other file systems use, but it's also quicker. The benefits may be significant in particular on compressible content like website files. While it could sound irrational, uncompressing data with LZ4 is quicker than reading uncompressed info from a hard disk, so the performance of each and every site hosted on our servers will be enhanced. The better and faster compression rates also allow us to produce multiple daily backups of the whole content in every single hosting account, so if you delete something by mistake, the last backup that we have will not be more than several hours old. This is possible because the backups take a lot less space and their generation is fast enough, so as to not affect the performance of the servers.
Data Compression in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you host your sites in a semi-dedicated hosting account with our company, you'll be able to experience the advantages of LZ4 - the powerful compression algorithm used by the ZFS file system that's behind our advanced cloud Internet hosting platform. What separates LZ4 from all other algorithms out there is that it has an improved compression ratio and it is considerably faster, in particular when it comes to uncompressing web content. It does that even quicker than uncompressed info can be read from a hard drive, so your websites will perform faster. The higher speed comes at the expense of using a lot of CPU processing time, that's not a problem for our platform as it consists of a lot of clusters working together. In addition to the better performance, you'll have multiple daily backups at your disposal, so you'll be able to recover any deleted content with several clicks. The backup copies are available for an entire month and we can afford to store them since they take a lot less space than conventional backups.
