Data compression is the lowering of the number of bits that need to be stored or transmitted and this process is rather important in the internet hosting field due to the fact that info stored on hard disk drives is generally compressed to take less space. You can find different algorithms for compressing info and they provide different efficiency based upon the content. Some of them remove just the redundant bits, so no data will be lost, while others erase unnecessary bits, which leads to worse quality when the particular data is uncompressed. This process uses plenty of processing time, which means that a web hosting server has to be powerful enough so as to be able to compress and uncompress data instantly. An instance how binary code can be compressed is by "remembering" that there are five sequential 1s, for example, rather than storing all five 1s.

Data Compression in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account from our firm, you'll be able to experience the advantages of LZ4 - the powerful compression algorithm used by the ZFS file system which is behind our advanced cloud hosting platform. What distinguishes LZ4 from all other algorithms out there is that it has a higher compression ratio and it is way quicker, especially with regard to uncompressing web content. It does that even faster than uncompressed info can be read from a hard disk drive, so your websites will perform better. The higher speed is at the expense of using lots of CPU processing time, which is not a problem for our platform as it consists of a large number of clusters working together. Along with the better performance, you'll have multiple daily backup copies at your disposal, so you could recover any deleted content with a few clicks. The backups are available for a whole month and we can afford to store them as they take considerably less space than traditional backups.
