Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Lineserve Object Storage.
Yes! Lineserve Object Storage is fully compatible with the Amazon S3 API. You can use existing S3 tools, SDKs, libraries, and applications without any modifications. Simply change the endpoint to s3.lineserve.net.
Object Storage is available in all our Tier III data centers: Nairobi (Kenya), Lagos (Nigeria), and Dar es Salaam (Tanzania). All objects are stored with 99.999999999% (11 nines) durability through erasure coding and replication. Cross-region replication is available for disaster recovery.
Standard class is for frequently accessed data ($0.02/GB/month). Infrequent Access is for data accessed less than once per month ($0.01/GB/month + retrieval fees). Archive is for long-term archival ($0.004/GB/month) with retrieval times of minutes to hours.
Lifecycle policies automatically move objects between storage classes or delete them based on rules you define. For example, move objects to Infrequent Access after 30 days, or to Archive after 90 days. This can reduce costs by up to 95% for archival data.
Versioning keeps multiple versions of objects in your bucket. When you overwrite or delete an object, the previous version is preserved. You can restore any previous version at any time. This protects against accidental deletion and application errors.
Pricing is based on: 1. Storage: Per GB-month based on storage class (Standard: $0.02/GB, IA: $0.01/GB, Archive: $0.004/GB). 2. Requests: PUT/GET requests ($0.005 per 1,000 requests). 3. Data transfer: Outbound data transfer ($0.01/GB). 4. Retrieval fees: For IA and Archive classes. There are no minimum fees or commitments.
Yes! Lineserve Object Storage integrates seamlessly with Lineserve CDN. Simply configure your bucket as a CDN origin, and your content will be cached and delivered globally with low latency.
Yes! Object Storage supports static website hosting. Upload your HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and assets to a bucket, enable static website hosting, and configure index and error pages. Your site will be accessible via a public URL.
You can control access using: 1. Bucket policies (JSON policies defining who can access what). 2. ACLs (Access Control Lists for fine-grained permissions). 3. IAM (Identity and Access Management for user-level access). 4. Presigned URLs (temporary access links that expire).
Yes, all data is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption. Data in transit is encrypted using TLS. You can use Lineserve-managed keys (default) or bring your own keys using KMS integration for additional control.
No, there are no limits on bucket size, number of buckets, or total storage. You can store unlimited amounts of data. Individual objects can be up to 5TB in size.
Migration is straightforward since we use the same API. You can use tools like rclone, s3cmd, or AWS CLI with our endpoint. Simply change the endpoint to s3.lineserve.net and use your Lineserve credentials. We also offer migration assistance for large datasets.
Standard class provides high throughput (up to 1 GB/s per bucket) and low latency (typically <10ms for API calls). Performance scales with your usage. For maximum performance, use multipart uploads for large files and enable CDN for frequently accessed content.
