RAID in Cloud Hosting
All the content which you upload to your new cloud hosting account will be stored on fast NVMe drives which work in RAID-Z. This setup is built to use the ZFS file system which runs on our cloud Internet hosting platform and it adds an additional level of security for your site content in addition to the real-time checksum verification which ZFS uses to guarantee the integrity of the data. With RAID-Z, the information is saved on several disks and at least one of them is a parity disk - whenever information is written on it, an additional bit is added, so if any drive fails for whatever reason, the integrity of the data can be verified by recalculating its bits based on what is kept on the production disks and on the parity one. With RAID-Z, the functioning of our system will never be interrupted and it will continue working efficiently until the faulty drive is changed and the data is synchronized on it.
RAID in VPS
The physical servers where we make virtual private server use quick NVMe drives which will increase the speed of your websites considerably. The drives operate in RAID to ensure that you will not lose any information due to a power loss or a hardware breakdown. The production servers employ many different drives where the data is kept and one disk is used for parity i.e. one bit is added to all data copied on it, which makes it easier to recover the site content without loss in case a main drive stops working. If you pick our backup service, your info will be stored on a separate machine that uses standard hard-disk drives and even though there's no parity one in this case, they are also in a RAID to guarantee that we will have a backup of your site content all the time. With this kind of setup your information will always be safe because it will be available on a lot of disk drives.
