The servers which accept files from users have a hard disk -drive cache of typically a few terabytes (4 to 16). This is where most of the -files are kept. When a file is requested from another server it will look up -where the file is stored using a lookup table in the shared database. It will -then try to contact that server to request the file and proxy the data directly -to the requesting user. - -Each server keeps track of which files are popular with its own userbase. This -includes files which it is not storing locally. It does this using a popularity -score. Every time a request to read a file comes in it will add 1 to the score -of that file. This score will slowly degrade over time. Periodically the server -will request all files with a high popularity score so it can store them locally -to save bandwidth. If there is not enough space available to store these popular -files it will move some less popular files to the next storage medium to make -space available for the more popular files. - -The next storage medium is Sia. This is where all the files live which are not -requested frequently, but are still occasionally needed. Sia is a storage -marketplace where anyone can sell their storage space for financial compensation -in Siacoins. If you have storage space available and would like to provide it to -pixeldrain and other services you should read our [Sia hosting -guidelines](/hosting). There we explain which requirements we are setting for -hosts and some handy tips for getting started with hosting. - ## Do I need to register an account? Not if you don't want to.
