What is IPFS (Interplanetary File System)
IPFS is a revolutionary protocol designed to create a more resilient, faster, and open internet. Unlike traditional file storage systems that rely on centralized servers, IPFS is a peer-to-peer network that allows users to host and access files in a distributed fashion.
How does IPFS Works
IPFS transforms the way we think about data storage and retrieval. Instead of locating files by which server they reside on, IPFS identifies them based on their content. This means that when you look for a file, the network finds the nodes storing the content you’re after, which could be anywhere in the world.
This decentralized approach not only speeds up the web but also makes it more robust and less prone to censorship. Since the retrieval might take a few seconds, IPFS also makes use of gateways to cache and accelerate the usage, so you get the benefits of decentralized hosting with the benefits of centralized CDN’s to make the system resilient, fast and fluid.
Pay with Crypto
1GB IPFS Hosting
You can buy multiple times, for more storage, the more you buy the cheaper it gets.
What you get with our IPFS Service
- Hosting of 1GB of files (can be 1 big file or several smaller ones,the total can not exceed 1GB or 1GB per file if you purchase multiples) in the IPFS Network.
- Use the same system we use to store our files on IPFS.
- Pining of the files (this is a small annual cost that guarantees that the files stay in the network).
- Pre-caching of the files (our ping system pushes your files to the top gateways for quick retrieval).
- Note we will strive to keep the files for at least 10 years (in the sense that if we close, its paid for at least 10 years or if our IPFS host closes we will keep the files pinned on another IPFS host, so the files should still remain online, still best to always store a backup just in case and yes you can use our backup service as well).
- Note if you need to edit/delete the files, just contact us, depending on the request it will be a free or a small service fee 😀
Benefits of IPFS Interplanetary File System
Decentralization: With no single point of failure, IPFS reduces the risk of server downtime and enhances security across the network.
Efficiency: Content delivery is optimized as data is retrieved from the nearest node, reducing bandwidth costs and improving speed.
Persistence: Data on IPFS remains accessible even if the original uploader goes offline, ensuring permanence and reliability.
Control: Users have improved control over their content, with the ability to update and manage data without relying on centralized authorities.
Archiving: IPFS makes it easier to archive data, providing a robust platform for long-term data storage.
Offline Browsing: The network’s design allows for offline browsing, making content available even without an internet connection.
Using IPFS for file hosting not only aligns you with the cutting edge of technology but also provides a service that is resilient, efficient, and user-centric.
