Data Compression in Cloud Hosting
The compression algorithm that we employ on the cloud internet hosting platform where your new cloud hosting account will be created is named LZ4 and it's used by the cutting-edge ZFS file system that powers the platform. The algorithm is better than the ones other file systems employ because its compression ratio is much higher and it processes data significantly faster. The speed is most noticeable when content is being uncompressed as this happens even faster than info can be read from a hard disk. Therefore, LZ4 improves the performance of every website hosted on a server which uses the algorithm. We take full advantage of LZ4 in an additional way - its speed and compression ratio allow us to produce a couple of daily backup copies of the whole content of all accounts and store them for thirty days. Not only do these backup copies take less space, but also their generation will not slow the servers down like it can often happen with alternative file systems.
Data Compression in Semi-dedicated Servers
The ZFS file system which runs on the cloud platform where your semi-dedicated server account will be created uses a powerful compression algorithm called LZ4. It is among the best algorithms out there and positively the best one when it comes to compressing and uncompressing web content, as its ratio is very high and it'll uncompress data at a higher speed than the same data can be read from a hard drive if it were uncompressed. In this way, using LZ4 will quicken any Internet site that runs on a platform where the algorithm is enabled. The high performance requires lots of CPU processing time, that is provided by the great number of clusters working together as a part of our platform. In addition to that, LZ4 enables us to generate several backups of your content every day and have them for a month as they'll take much less space than standard backups and will be generated considerably quicker without loading the servers.
