Data Compression in Cloud Hosting
The compression algorithm which we work with on the cloud internet hosting platform where your new cloud hosting account shall be created is known as LZ4 and it's used by the exceptional ZFS file system that powers the platform. The algorithm is better than the ones other file systems work with since its compression ratio is a lot higher and it processes data significantly faster. The speed is most noticeable when content is being uncompressed as this happens faster than information can be read from a hard disk drive. For that reason, LZ4 improves the performance of any site located on a server that uses the algorithm. We take advantage of LZ4 in one more way - its speed and compression ratio allow us to produce a couple of daily backups of the whole content of all accounts and keep them for one month. Not only do the backups take less space, but their generation won't slow the servers down like it can often happen with alternative file systems.
Data Compression in Semi-dedicated Hosting
In case you host your sites in a semi-dedicated hosting account from our company, you will be able to experience the advantages of LZ4 - the powerful compression algorithm used by the ZFS file system that is behind our advanced cloud Internet hosting platform. What separates LZ4 from all the other algorithms out there is that it has a better compression ratio and it is much quicker, especially when it comes to uncompressing web content. It does that even faster than uncompressed data 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 since it consists of numerous clusters working together. In combination with the improved performance, you'll have multiple daily backup copies at your disposal, so you can restore any deleted content with a few clicks. The backup copies are available for an entire month and we can afford to keep them since they take significantly less space compared to ordinary backups.
