No Data Corruption & Data Integrity in Shared Hosting
We have tackled the matter of silent data corruption on our shared hosting servers by using the amazing Z file system, or ZFS. The latter is more advanced than other file systems because it is the only one on the market which checks all of the files in real time by using a checksum - a digital identifier that's unique for every single file. When you upload content to your account, it will be stored on several NVMe drives and regularly synced between them for redundancy. ZFS constantly compares the checksum of all files and when any file is detected as corrupted, it's replaced instantly with a good copy from some other disk. As this happens in real time, there is no risk that a corrupted file may remain or may be copied on the other NVMes. ZFS requires a lot of physical memory to carry out the real-time checks and the advantage of our cloud website hosting platform is that we work with multiple very powerful servers working together. In case you host your websites with us, your data will be intact no matter what.
No Data Corruption & Data Integrity in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You will not need to deal with any silent data corruption issues whatsoever should you obtain one of our semi-dedicated hosting packages because the ZFS file system that we work with on our cloud hosting platform uses checksums to guarantee that all the files are undamaged all the time. A checksum is a unique digital fingerprint that is assigned to each and every file kept on a server. Because we store all content on multiple drives at the same time, the same file uses the same checksum on all of the drives and what ZFS does is that it compares the checksums between the different drives right away. When it detects that a file is corrupted and its checksum is different from what it should be, it replaces that file with a healthy copy without delay, avoiding any probability of the damaged copy to be synchronized on the other drives. ZFS is the sole file system you will find which uses checksums, which makes it far superior to other file systems that are not able to identify silent data corruption and copy bad files across drives.
