ZFS, which signifies Z File System, is a progressive file system that delivers top performance for sites and online apps. One of its major advantages is the real-time checksum comparison - each file has a checksum, or a digital fingerprint, and ZFS compares the checksums of all the files between the several hard disks working together in a RAID. If any file is damaged for whatever reason on one of the hard disks, it is restored from another travel with the correct checksum. This way, the integrity of any file stored on a server is ensured all of the time. ZFS also functions considerably faster than other file systems, which allows backups to be created much faster and without slowing down the general performance of the entire web server. Additionally, ZFS doesn't have a set limit for the total number of files which can be stored on a web server while all other file systems have some restriction which might cause issues at some point, specifically for script applications that have a large number of files.
ZFS Cloud Storage, Mails, MySQL in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Considering all of the advantages that ZFS has over other file systems on the market, we've decided to use it on all our web servers that are part of the sophisticated cloud platform where new semi-dedicated hosting accounts are set up. Potent servers with hundreds of gbs of physical memory and NVMe drives will ensure the best possible performance of the file system and of any website hosted on our end. We employ the same setup for storing not just the files which you upload, but any databases you make and email messages which you receive, which increases the quality of our service substantially over what you can find on the market. Not only shall there be no limitation to the number of files and email messages that you can have at one time, but you shall also have four browsable backups of all your content on a daily basis and the backup generation will not affect the hosting server functionality. Supplying such a number of backups is due to the significantly better data compression rates which the ZFS system provides. As all files are checked in real time, we can also switch to a backup hosting server in seconds if there is a problem with any hosting server and the data on it shall be the latest one, so you'll never have to consider the reliability of your hosting service or stress about losing any content.
