Data corruption is the damage of data because of various hardware or software fails. Once a file gets corrupted, it will no longer work accurately, so an app will not start or shall give errors, a text file will be partially or entirely unreadable, an archive will be impossible to open and then unpack, etc. Silent data corruption is the process of info getting harmed without any identification by the system or an admin, that makes it a serious problem for web hosting servers as fails are much more likely to occur on bigger hard disk drives where significant volumes of information are placed. In case a drive is part of a RAID and the information on it is copied on other drives for redundancy, it is more than likely that the bad file will be treated as a standard one and it will be copied on all of the drives, making the harm permanent. Lots of the file systems that run on web servers nowadays often are not able to find corrupted files instantly or they need time-consuming system checks during which the server is not operational.

No Data Corruption & Data Integrity in Shared Website Hosting

We guarantee the integrity of the info uploaded in any shared website hosting account that is generated on our cloud platform because we use the advanced ZFS file system. The latter is the only one which was designed to avoid silent data corruption via a unique checksum for each and every file. We will store your information on a large number of SSD drives that work in a RAID, so exactly the same files will exist on several places at the same time. ZFS checks the digital fingerprint of all the files on all drives in real time and in the event that the checksum of any file is different from what it has to be, the file system swaps that file with a healthy copy from another drive within the RAID. There's no other file system that uses checksums, so it is possible for data to get silently corrupted and the bad file to be reproduced on all drives with time, but since this can never happen on a server using ZFS, you won't have to worry about the integrity of your information.

No Data Corruption & Data Integrity in Semi-dedicated Servers

Your semi-dedicated server account will be protected against silent data corruption since all of our storage servers work with the advanced 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 will be placed on a couple of redundant drives in a RAID i.e. the files will be the same across all disks. All of the copies of a particular file will feature the same checksum on all drives and ZFS will compare the checksums of the duplicates in real time, and if it discovers a mismatch, which would indicate that one of the copies is damaged, it'll substitute that file with a healthy copy from one of the other disks. Even if there is a sudden power failure, the data on the servers won't get corrupted and there will not be any need for a time-consuming system check which other file systems perform following some failure, extending the time needed for the server to return online. ZFS is the only file system that can truly protect your content from silent data corruption.
