No Data Corruption & Data Integrity
Discover what No Data Corruption & Data Integrity is and how it could be beneficial for the files in your hosting account.
Data corruption is the damage of info due to various software or hardware fails. Once a file gets corrupted, it will no longer work accurately, so an application will not start or shall give errors, a text file could be partially or completely unreadable, an archive will be impossible to open and unpack, etc. Silent data corruption is the process of info getting harmed without any acknowledgement by the system or an administrator, which makes it a significant problem for hosting servers as fails are much more likely to happen on bigger hard drives where significant volumes of info are placed. If a drive is a part of a RAID and the data on it is copied on other drives for redundancy, it's more than likely that the damaged file will be treated as an undamaged one and it will be copied on all drives, making the harm permanent. A huge number of the file systems that operate on web servers these days often are unable to locate corrupted files immediately or they need time-consuming system checks during which the server isn't functioning.

No Data Corruption & Data Integrity in Cloud Website Hosting
We guarantee the integrity of the information uploaded in each and every
cloud website hosting account which is generated on our cloud platform as we employ the advanced ZFS file system. The aforementioned is the only one that was designed to prevent silent data corruption through a unique checksum for each file. We'll store your info on a large number of NVMe drives which function in a RAID, so exactly the same files will be available on several places at the same time. ZFS checks the digital fingerprint of all the files on all of the drives in real time and in case the checksum of any file is different from what it should be, the file system replaces that file with an undamaged version from a different drive from the RAID. There's no other file system which uses checksums, so it is easy for data to be silently corrupted and the bad file to be duplicated on all drives with time, but since this can never happen on a server using ZFS, you will not have to concern yourself with the integrity of your information.

No Data Corruption & Data Integrity in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Your
semi-dedicated hosting account will be shielded from silent data corruption as all our storage servers work with the state-of-the-art ZFS file system. What makes the aforementioned unique is that it uses checksums, or digital identifiers, so as to ensure the integrity of each and every file. When you upload content to your account, it will be kept on a couple of redundant drives working in a RAID i.e. the files will be the same on all disks. All the copies of a specific file will feature the same checksum on all hard disks and ZFS will compare the checksums of the copies quickly, and if it identifies a mismatch, which would indicate that one of the copies is damaged, it will swap that file with a healthy copy from one of the other drives. Even if there's an unexpected blackout, the data on the servers will not get corrupted and there won't be any need for a time-consuming system check that other file systems perform following some breakdown, extending the time needed for the server to go back online. ZFS is the only file system that can truly protect your content from silent data corruption.
