Data corruption is the unintended modification of a file or the loss of info which usually occurs during reading or writing. The reason can be hardware or software failure, and because of this, a file may become partially or completely corrupted, so it will no longer function properly as its bits shall be scrambled or lacking. An image file, for instance, will no longer display an actual image, but a random mix of colors, an archive will be impossible to unpack for the reason that its content will be unreadable, etc. If this kind of an issue occurs and it is not identified by the system or by an admin, the data will get corrupted silently and if this happens on a disk drive which is part of a RAID array where the data is synced between various drives, the corrupted file will be duplicated on all the other drives and the harm will become permanent. Many widely used file systems either don't offer real-time checks or do not have good ones which will detect an issue before the damage is done, so silent data corruption is a common matter on web hosting servers where huge volumes of information are stored.

No Data Corruption & Data Integrity in Shared Hosting

We warrant the integrity of the data uploaded in every shared hosting account which is made on our cloud platform as we employ the advanced ZFS file system. The latter is the only one that was designed to prevent silent data corruption via a unique checksum for every single file. We'll store your info on a number of SSD drives that function in a RAID, so the exact same files will be available on several places at once. ZFS checks the digital fingerprint of all files on all the drives in real time and if the checksum of any file differs from what it needs to be, the file system replaces that file with an undamaged copy from another drive inside the RAID. No other file system uses checksums, so it's easy for data to be silently corrupted and the bad file to be reproduced on all drives over time, but since this can never happen on a server using ZFS, you don't have to worry about the integrity of your info.

No Data Corruption & Data Integrity in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Your semi-dedicated hosting account will be protected against silent data corruption because all our storage servers employ the effective ZFS file system. What makes the latter unique is that it uses checksums, or digital identifiers, in order to guarantee the integrity of each file. When you upload content to your account, it will be stored on a couple of redundant drives in a RAID i.e. the files shall be the same across all drives. All the copies of a specific file will feature the same checksum on all drives and ZFS will compare the checksums of the copies right away, so if it detects a mismatch, that 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's an unexpected blackout, the data on the servers will not be corrupted and there will not be any need for a time-consuming system check that other file systems perform after some breakdown, extending the time needed for the server to get back online. ZFS is the only file system which can truly protect your content from silent data corruption.
