Data Compression in Cloud Website Hosting
The cloud web hosting platform where your cloud website hosting account will be made employs the impressive ZFS file system. The LZ4 compression method that the latter uses is superior in many aspects, and not only does it compress info better than any compression method which a number of other file systems use, but it is also a lot faster. The benefits can be significant in particular on compressible content like website files. While it could sound illogical, uncompressing data with LZ4 is faster than reading uncompressed info from a hard disk, so the performance of each website hosted on our servers will be enhanced. The better and faster compression rates also allow us to produce numerous daily backups of the full content in each and every web hosting account, so if you delete something by accident, the last back-up copy which we have won't be more than a couple of hours old. This can be done as the backups take much less space and their generation is fast enough, so as to not influence the performance of our servers.
Data Compression in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The ZFS file system which runs on the cloud platform where your semi-dedicated hosting account will be created uses a powerful compression algorithm called LZ4. It is among the best algorithms out there and definitely the best one when it comes to compressing and uncompressing web content, as its ratio is very high and it can uncompress data a lot faster than the same data can be read from a hard drive if it were uncompressed. That way, using LZ4 will speed up every website that runs on a platform where this algorithm is enabled. The high performance requires lots of CPU processing time, which is provided by the great number of clusters working together as part of our platform. What's more, LZ4 allows us to generate several backup copies of your content every day and save them for one month as they will take a smaller amount of space than regular backups and will be created much faster without loading the servers.
