## How does pixeldrain store files?
Pixeldrain uses a few different techniques to store files cheaply, efficiently
and performantly. 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.

## Can I advertise on pixeldrain?
Please send your advertising inquiries to this e-mail address:
[fuck.off@pixeldrain.com](mailto:fuck.off@pixeldrain.com). That will make sure
your mails never get anywhere near my inbox.
But in all seriousness, I am not interested in running ads on pixeldrain. Ads
are destroying the web through greed and deception. I won't want anything to do
with that. I would recommend everyone to install [uBlock
Origin](https://ublockorigin.com/) to let the greedy ad tech companies know that
we're not standing for it.
