No Data Corruption & Data Integrity
Find what ‘No Data Corruption & Data Integrity’ indicates for the data as part of your website hosting account.
Data corruption is the damage of info caused by various hardware or software problems. When a file is damaged, it will no longer function accurately, so an app will not start or will give errors, a text file can be partially or fully unreadable, an archive file will be impossible to open then unpack, etc. Silent data corruption is the process of info getting harmed without any identification by the system or an administrator, that makes it a significant problem for hosting servers as fails are more likely to occur on larger in size hard drives where large volumes of information are located. When a drive is part of a RAID and the information on it is duplicated on other drives for redundancy, it's likely that the damaged file will be treated as a standard one and it will be copied on all of the drives, making the harm permanent. A huge number of the file systems that operate on web servers nowadays often are unable to identify corrupted files immediately or they need time-consuming system checks through which the server is not functioning.

No Data Corruption & Data Integrity in Cloud Hosting
We warrant the integrity of the data uploaded in each
cloud hosting account that is generated on our cloud platform as we use the advanced ZFS file system. The latter is the only one which was designed to avert silent data corruption thanks to a unique checksum for each and every file. We'll store your information on multiple NVMe drives that work in a RAID, so identical files will be accessible on several places at once. ZFS checks the digital fingerprint of all the files on all drives in real time and if the checksum of any file is different from what it should be, the file system replaces that file with a healthy version from another drive in the RAID. No other file system uses checksums, so it's easy for data to get silently corrupted and the bad file to be replicated on all drives over time, but since this can never happen on a server running ZFS, you don't have to worry about the integrity of your info.

No Data Corruption & Data Integrity in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will not need to deal with any silent data corruption issues if you get one of our
semi-dedicated server plans due to the fact that the ZFS file system that we work with on our cloud hosting platform uses checksums to guarantee that all of your files are undamaged all of the time. A checksum is a unique digital fingerprint that is given to each and every file stored on a server. As we store all content on a number of drives simultaneously, the same file uses the same checksum on all the drives and what ZFS does is that it compares the checksums between the different drives right away. In the event that it detects that a file is corrupted and its checksum is different from what it has to be, it replaces that file with a healthy copy without delay, avoiding any probability of the bad copy to be synchronized on the rest of the drives. ZFS is the sole file system you can find which uses checksums, which makes it much more reliable than other file systems which cannot identify silent data corruption and duplicate bad files across drives.
