Introduction
Storage provides you with a storage space directly integrated into our CDN network. Every storage is located on one of our storage servers, also referred to as push servers. Our storage servers have premium connectivity to our CDN edge servers and are optimized for serving static content and video files. Both CDN Static Push and CDN Video Push services are designed to accelerate content from storage.
Please note that there is a difference between a storage server and a CDN edge server. A storage server never serves its content directly to end users; it always serves content to our CDN edge servers for CDN acceleration (caching). Traffic between storage and our CDN edge servers is free of charge. Also, note that storage is used solely for storing content; it does not interpret any programming language such as Python or PHP.
Creating a storage
To create a storage follow these steps.
- Go to Services/Storages.
- Fill in your desired storage Label and choose a Storage Server for your storage.
- Click on the Create Storage button.
- That's all.
Please refer to Accessing a storage for more details on how to access your storage.
Usage limit
You can set a usage limit parameter of your storages (on the Services/Storages/Settings page). For logs storages it is by default set to 95% of your server quota and for push storages (storages for push CDN services) it is by default set to 0. When set to 0 then there is no limit for the storage and the only limit is your storage server quota.
