Object Storage for the Crypto Community

COIN.HOST is excited to announce the launch of our new S3 API compatible object storage service! Object storage is a highly scalable and durable way to store and manage large amounts of unstructured data, such as files, videos, and images. Object storage is in a number of ways different from hierarchy storage.

The key difference is the way that data is organized and accessed. In hierarchy storage, data is organized into files and folders, whereas, object storage uses a flat address space to store and access data, with each piece of data being assigned a unique identifier. Another key difference between object storage and hierarchy storage is how data is stored. In hierarchy storage, data is typically stored on a physical storage device, such as a hard drive or an array of hard drives. On the contrary, object storage stores data in a distributed manner, with data being spread across multiple storage devices in a network, thus eliminating single point of failure conditions.

Why Object Storage?

  1. Limitless scalability: Unlike traditional storage solutions that can quickly run out of space, object storage can easily and cost-effectively store and access vast amounts of data. This makes it ideal for applications that need to store and access large amounts of unstructured data, such as media streaming and analytics platforms.
  2. High durability: Object storage is designed to store data redundantly across multiple storage devices, providing a high level of data durability and ensuring that your data is safe even in the event of device failure. This means that you can trust us to keep your data safe and available, no matter what.
  3. Low cost: Because object storage is highly scalable and durable, it can be much more cost-effective than other types of storage, especially for applications that require a large amount of storage.
  4. Flexibility: Object storage is not tied to any specific application or workload, so you can use it for a wide range of purposes, including storing files, media, backups, and more.
  5. Compatibility with S3 API: Because object storage is compatible with the S3 API, it is easy to integrate with other applications and services that support S3, making it easy to migrate to object storage without disrupting your existing workflows.

We understand that many of our customers are looking for secure and convenient ways to pay for their storage, and we are proud to offer the option to pay using popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT and most other major coins and tokens. Object storage by COIN.HOST is a highly scalable, durable, and flexible solution for storing and managing large amounts of unstructured data. And with our support for cryptocurrency payments, you can trust us to provide a secure, private and convenient way to store your data. We are excited to offer this new service to our customers, and we look forward to helping you store and manage your data more effectively.
