Data corruption is the damage of information caused by various software or hardware failures. The moment a file is corrupted, it will no longer work properly, so an application will not start or will give errors, a text file will be partially or fully unreadable, an archive will be impossible to open then unpack, etc. Silent data corruption is the process of data getting harmed without any identification by the system or an admin, which makes it a significant problem for web hosting servers as problems are more likely to happen on larger in size hard disks where vast volumes of info are placed. If a drive is a part of a RAID and the info on it is duplicated on other drives for redundancy, it is more than likely that the damaged file will be treated as an undamaged one and it'll be copied on all drives, making the harm permanent. A lot of the file systems that run on web servers these days often are not able to recognize corrupted files right away or they need time-consuming system checks through which the server isn't working.

No Data Corruption & Data Integrity in Cloud Website Hosting

The integrity of the data that you upload to your new cloud website hosting account shall be ensured by the ZFS file system which we use on our cloud platform. The vast majority of internet hosting service providers, like our firm, use multiple hard disk drives to store content and since the drives work in a RAID, the exact same info is synchronized between the drives all of the time. When a file on a drive is damaged for reasons unknown, however, it's more than likely that it will be copied on the other drives since alternative file systems do not have special checks for this. Unlike them, ZFS employs a digital fingerprint, or a checksum, for each file. In case a file gets corrupted, its checksum will not match what ZFS has as a record for it, which means that the bad copy will be replaced with a good one from a different hard drive. Because this happens right away, there's no possibility for any of your files to ever be damaged.

No Data Corruption & Data Integrity in Semi-dedicated Servers

Your semi-dedicated server account will be resistant to silent data corruption since all our storage servers use the advanced ZFS file system. What makes the latter unique is that it employs checksums, or digital identifiers, in order to guarantee the integrity of each and every file. When you upload content to your account, it'll be placed on a couple of redundant drives in a RAID i.e. the files will be the same on all disks. All the copies of a particular file will feature the same checksum on all drives and ZFS will compare the checksums of the copies quickly, so if it discovers a mismatch, that 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 a sudden blackout, the data on the servers will not become corrupted and there won't be any need for a time-consuming system check that other file systems perform following some malfunction, prolonging the time needed for the server to return online. ZFS is the file system which can truly protect your content from silent data corruption.
