Two things it does

Keep backup

A folder on your computer, kept safe somewhere else. Every file is encrypted before it leaves your device with a key only you hold, so what the hosts store — and what we store — is noise. Restore from any device you sign in on.

Publish public

A website, an archive, a release: put it up and it stays up. Drop a file or a folder on your account page, or paste the CID of something already on IPFS. Public content is addressed by its own fingerprint, so anyone fetching it can check nothing changed. Served from our gateway at pinthis.cloud/ipfs/…, to the wider IPFS network, and — point your name at it — at yourname.pinthis.cloud.

A free name with every payment

Every payment on a paid plan comes with a yourname.pinthis name. It arrives as a key file; import it into Wildroot and it is your sign-in, your address and your storage account, all one thing. Point it at a site and the site is live at yourname.pinthis in Wildroot and yourname.pinthis.cloud everywhere else.

(?) The name is a record in a zone we serve — no wallet, no tokens, and nothing for you to buy or renew. The key file is the only copy of the key; we delete ours the moment you download it.

Plans

Flat monthly prices. Card, not coins.

Storage is what you keep; a plan's transfer allowance is what it may move in a month. Past the allowance things slow and then pause until the month turns — nothing is ever deleted for going over.

How it works

Pick a plan

Pay by card. Pick your free name on the way through, or later from your account page.

Download your key

One file, shown once. Import it in Wildroot and you are signed in — nothing to paste, no password to make up.

Back up, or publish

In Wildroot, choose a folder to keep, or publish a site and tick Keep online. Or skip the app: drop a file on your account page and it is pinned. That is the whole job.

Being straight with you

What we can see

Keep: how much you store and when you move it. Not one byte of what it is — it is sealed on your device with a key we never hold.

Publish: everything, and so can everyone else. That is what public means.

Who runs what

The storage is a network of independent hosts (Sia). We run the coordinator that finds hosts and pays them, the gateway that serves public content, and the site you are reading.

Your data lives under your app key, in the same format the official Sia app uses — it opens there too.

How you leave

Cancel from your account page; the plan drops to free at the end of the month and your name stays yours. Restore or re-publish anywhere before then. Nothing is held hostage.

Questions

Do I need Wildroot?
For backup, yes — it is the app that does the sealing and the syncing, and it is free. For publishing, no: the Publish plan includes a standard IPFS Pinning Service API that works with the tools you already use.
What if I lose the key file?
The name key is your sign-in; Wildroot keeps it in its vault once imported, and your account, plan and public pins are tied to your email too, so you get those back with a sign-in link. The key that seals a backup is a second one, made and kept by Wildroot — if you lose every device, only a vault export opens the backup. That is the point of sealing, so export the vault once and put it somewhere safe.
Is there really no crypto?
Not for you. You pay by card and hold a key file. The hosts are paid in the network's own coin, by us, out of the plan price — that is what the transfer allowance measures.
What is the free plan for?
Anyone using Wildroot gets a small slice of storage so every site they publish has a backup, and a bigger slice if they have a name. It has no public serving; that is what Publish is.
