Data corruption is the damage of information because of various hardware or software fails. When a file gets damaged, it will no longer function accurately, so an app will not start or shall give errors, a text file could be partially or entirely unreadable, an archive file will be impossible to open then unpack, etc. Silent data corruption is the process of info getting damaged without any acknowledgement by the system or an admin, that makes it a serious problem for hosting servers as failures are very likely to occur on larger hard disks where large volumes of info are stored. If a drive is a part of a RAID and the data on it is copied on other drives for redundancy, it is likely that the damaged file will be treated as a healthy one and it will be duplicated on all of the drives, making the damage permanent. A huge number of the file systems that run on web servers these days often are unable to find corrupted files right away or they need time-consuming system checks through which the server is not functioning.

No Data Corruption & Data Integrity in Web Hosting

If you host your sites in a web hosting account from our firm, you won't have to worry about any of your data ever getting damaged. We can guarantee that because our cloud hosting platform works with the amazing ZFS file system. The aforementioned is the only file system that works with checksums, or unique digital fingerprints, for each file. Any kind of information that you upload will be saved in a RAID i.e. simultaneously on numerous SSD drives. All of the file systems synchronize the files between the separate drives using this kind of a setup, but there's no real warranty that a file won't be corrupted. This may occur during the writing process on any drive and afterwards a damaged copy can be copied on all other drives. What is different on our platform is that ZFS examines the checksums of all files on all the drives instantly and if a corrupted file is discovered, it is replaced with a good copy with the correct checksum from another drive. By doing this, your information will remain undamaged no matter what, even if a whole drive fails.

No Data Corruption & Data Integrity in Semi-dedicated Servers

Your semi-dedicated server account will be resistant to silent data corruption because all of our storage servers employ the effective ZFS file system. What makes the aforementioned unique is that it employs checksums, or digital identifiers, to guarantee the integrity of each file. When you upload content to your account, it will be placed on a couple of redundant drives being employed in a RAID i.e. the files shall be the same on all drives. All copies of a given file will have the same checksum on all hard disks and ZFS will compare the checksums of the duplicates right away, so if it identifies a mismatch, that will indicate that one of the copies is corrupted, it'll replace that file with a healthy copy from one of the other drives. Even if there's an unexpected blackout, the data on the servers won't become corrupted and there won't be any need for a time-consuming system check which other file systems perform after some malfunction, prolonging the time needed for the server to get back online. ZFS is the only file system that can really protect your content from silent data corruption.
