Data Compression in Cloud Website Hosting
The compression algorithm which we employ on the cloud web hosting platform where your new cloud website hosting account will be created is called LZ4 and it is applied by the revolutionary ZFS file system that powers the system. The algorithm is greater than the ones other file systems employ because its compression ratio is higher and it processes data a lot faster. The speed is most noticeable when content is being uncompressed as this happens quicker than data can be read from a hard disk drive. As a result, LZ4 improves the performance of any Internet site located on a server which uses the algorithm. We use LZ4 in one more way - its speed and compression ratio allow us to generate several daily backup copies of the full content of all accounts and keep them for thirty days. Not only do our backup copies take less space, but also their generation will not slow the servers down like it can often happen with other file systems.
Data Compression in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated hosting account from our company, you can experience the advantages of LZ4 - the powerful compression algorithm employed by the ZFS file system that's behind our advanced cloud hosting platform. What distinguishes LZ4 from all the other algorithms out there is that it has a better compression ratio and it is considerably quicker, particularly with regard to uncompressing website content. It does that even faster than uncompressed data can be read from a hard disk drive, so your Internet sites will perform faster. The higher speed is at the expense of using lots of CPU processing time, which is not a problem for our platform since it consists of multiple clusters working together. Along with the superior performance, you will also have multiple daily backups at your disposal, so you will be able to restore any deleted content with a couple of clicks. The backups are available for a whole month and we can afford to store them since they need considerably less space than traditional backups.
