In preparation of the keenly anticipated Infinity Nodes Mainnet launch, which will take place at block 170.000 (around 31/05/2019), SINOVATE (SIN) has officially partnered with the widely renowned cloud computing providers VULTR and DigitalOcean. Digital infrastructure services will permit community members to operate Infinity Nodes simplistically and seamlessly, through the form of a Virtual Private Server (VPS). Further information on the VPS services provided by VULTR and DigitalOcean, as well as price ranges can be found below:
A VPS can be defined as a virtual machine which replicates an Operating System (OS), through the form of a hosted service enabling users to gain specialised accessibility to a specific OS instance. This in turn permits the installation of a vast array of software running on the OS, as well as facilitating web storage and data transfer capability. In SINOVATE’s case, a VPS will be used to host the software for Infinity Nodes.
Having carried out extensive research on all available options, the SINOVATE Team were unanimously in favour of implementing a VPS Hosting option, as opposed to traditional Shared Hosting and Dedicated Web Servers. While Dedicated Servers offer full control of hardware and software installations, they are less easily affordable. The cost-effective nature of Virtual Private Servers means that operating an Infinity Node will be inexpensive, despite the requirement of a 24/7 uptake.
Also, mass scalability enabled by a VPS significantly reduces the impact of bloated Internet servers, creating additional capacity to host multiple instances of Infinity Nodes in the process. This serves as great news to the SINOVATE community, as reward distribution will remain consistent with minimal disruptions at all times.
In addition, Virtual Private Servers boast enhanced privacy, security and protection over Shared Hosting options, as there are no other instances of websites on your server. Users therefore always retain full access to their files. Furthermore, a VPS enables around the clock RAM availability, which entirely prevents others, unlike in a Shared Hosting environment from utilising resources when you require them most. Virtual Private Servers will be available across multiple geographic locations, and will come equipped with dedicated 24 hour customer support.
