Data corruption is the damage of data due to various hardware or software fails. When a file gets damaged, it will no longer work accurately, so an application will not start or shall give errors, a text file will be partially or entirely unreadable, an archive will be impossible to open then unpack, etc. Silent data corruption is the process of information getting harmed without any identification by the system or an admin, which makes it a serious problem for web hosting servers as problems are more likely to occur on larger hard drives where substantial volumes of info are stored. If a drive is a part of a RAID and the information on it is duplicated on other drives for redundancy, it is very likely that the bad file will be treated as an ordinary one and it'll be duplicated on all drives, making the harm permanent. A lot of the file systems that operate on web servers today often are unable to discover corrupted files in real time or they need time-consuming system checks through which the server is not working.

No Data Corruption & Data Integrity in Shared Website Hosting

In case you host your websites in a shared website hosting account from our firm, you will not have to worry about any of your data ever getting damaged. We can guarantee that since our cloud hosting platform uses the cutting-edge ZFS file system. The latter is the only file system that uses checksums, or unique digital fingerprints, for each file. All of the info that you upload will be stored in a RAID i.e. simultaneously on numerous NVMe drives. All the file systems synchronize the files between the different drives with such a setup, but there's no real guarantee that a file won't be corrupted. This may occur during the writing process on any drive and afterwards a bad copy may be copied on the rest of the drives. What is different on our platform is the fact that ZFS analyzes the checksums of all files on all of the drives live and when a corrupted file is found, it's swapped with a good copy with the correct checksum from some other drive. That way, your information will stay undamaged no matter what, even if an entire drive fails.

No Data Corruption & Data Integrity in Semi-dedicated Servers

Your semi-dedicated server account will be shielded from silent data corruption since all of our storage servers make use of the innovative ZFS file system. What makes the latter unique is that it employs checksums, or digital identifiers, to ensure the integrity of each file. When you upload content to your account, it'll be placed on several redundant drives in a RAID i.e. the files shall be the same on all disk drives. All the copies of a given file will feature the same checksum on all hard drives and ZFS will compare the checksums of the copies quickly, so if it identifies a mismatch, that would indicate that one of the copies is corrupted, it'll substitute that file with a good copy from one of the other drives. Even if there is an unexpected blackout, the data on the servers won't be corrupted and there won't be any need for a time-consuming system check that other file systems perform following some malfunction, lengthening the time needed for the server to return online. ZFS is the only file system that can really protect your content from silent data corruption.
