Pirate Bay switches to Cloud Computing
Switching to the cloud makes sense for the file hosting service -- it cuts down on resources and should reduce the site's downtown for users, according to TorrentFreak. Additionally, the data should be more secure since it's not being hosted in just one place.
"Moving to the cloud lets TPB move from country to country, crossing borders seamlessly without downtime," the Pirate Bay told TorrentFreak. "All the servers don't even have to be hosted with the same provider, or even on the same continent."
The file-sharing service has taken several steps to buffer itself against a possible shut down by the authorities. It first got rid of trackers, then it tossed its torrents in February and started using magnet links, and now it's servers are gone.
