Is there a way (even not free) to ensure that my data in IPFS is always available (at least as available as with "traditional hosting services)?
That's a bit of a requirement when building a serious service/website.

- wiml 8y agoAs I understand it, the way is: run an IPFS node (perhaps on a cheap VPS); use `ipfs pin ` to force the node to retain the file even if it isn't being requested. Presumably someone could sell "pinning as a service" for fairly cheap: a popular file will be widely cached, so the service will rarely need to provide it; and an unpopular file will be rarely requested.
- magnetic 8y agoIsn't pinning as a service essentially a CDN? Is there a reason to believe that such service would be cheaper than a "traditional" CDN?
