ZFS, which is short for Z File System, is a cutting-edge file system that offers top performance for web sites and online applications. One of its main advantages is the real-time checksum comparison - each and every file has a checksum, or a digital fingerprint, and ZFS compares the checksums of all files between the different hard disks functioning together in a RAID. If any file is damaged for some reason on one of the hard drives, it's restored from another drive with the correct checksum. This way, the integrity of any file located on a server is guaranteed constantly. ZFS also works faster than other file systems, that enables backups to be created considerably faster and without slowing down the general performance of the entire web server. In addition, ZFS does not have a set limit for the total number of files that could be stored on a web server while all other file systems have some restriction that may cause problems eventually, particularly for script applications which have a lot of files.

ZFS Cloud Storage, Mails, MySQL in Shared Web Hosting

Considering all the advantages that ZFS has over other file systems, it isn't a surprise that we've decided to use it on the cutting-edge cloud platform where your new shared web hosting account will be set up. Our custom setup and the Hepsia Control Panel make this possible because the other widely used control panels cannot work on ZFS. The result of our work is a considerably faster and reliable hosting service - we will store your files, databases and e-mails on ZFS-powered servers which come with huge amounts of RAM and NVMe drives which will provide the best possible speed for your Internet sites. We also take full advantage of the considerably quicker backup generation which ZFS delivers, so we'll keep 4 different copies of all your files, databases and email messages daily without lowering the performance of the hosting servers - something companies employing other file systems cannot offer. Every hosting server from the storage clusters also has a backup machine and the ZFS file system enables us to have the most up-to-date copy of your content on both places - a good copy, naturally. Thus, if a hosting server fails, we can switch to its backup in seconds, so your Internet sites shall be functioning at all times and you will never have to worry about the integrity of your files or about the stability of your server.
