ZFS, which signifies Z File System, is a cutting-edge file system that delivers better performance for sites and online apps. One of its main advantages is the real-time checksum comparison - each and every file has a checksum, or a digital fingerprint, and ZFS compares the checksums of all files between the several hard drives functioning together in a RAID. If any file is damaged for whatever reason on one of the hard disks, it's repaired from another drive with the correct checksum. As a result, the integrity of any file saved on a web server is ensured constantly. ZFS also functions considerably faster than other file systems, that permits backups to be generated considerably quicker and without slowing down the overall performance of the whole machine. In addition, ZFS doesn't have a limit for the total amount of files which may be stored on a web server while all other file systems have some limit which might cause issues sooner or later, particularly for script apps which have a huge number of files.
ZFS Cloud Storage, Mails, MySQL in Shared Web Hosting
The shared web hosting solutions which we offer you are set up on our ZFS-powered cloud hosting platform and when you host your websites with us, you will enjoy all of the advantages of this file system. All servers that are a part of our cluster system use ZFS and feature NVMe drives and a lot of RAM. Therefore, your websites will work many times more quickly than if they were running on a server with the standard setup which you'll find with other web hosting providers. For better overall performance, we use the ZFS file system on all clusters - not just the ones in which your files are kept, but also those that handle the databases and the email messages. The file system provides significantly better loading speeds and guarantees the integrity of your website given that if a production server fails, we can easily switch to a backup one and it'll have the latest version of your website or the latest emails that you have received. The faster backup speeds also allow us to create four daily backups of all your content - files, databases and emails. This makes our web hosting plans the best solution for your sites if you are searching for a fast and efficient service.
