 # PTTH
 
-PTTH lets you run file servers from behind NAT / firewalls.
+PTTH is a web server.
+
+A web server has:
+
+1. A public host
+2. Files to serve
+
+**With PTTH, the files can live outside of the public host.**
+
+If you want to host 1 TB of files, normally you'd put them on the
+cloud server:
 
 ```
-HTTP clients            ptth_server instances
+Cloud
-
+             HTTP server ----> 1 TB of files
-Firefox ---> |            | <--- Server 1
+                 ^
-Chromium --> |            | <--- Server 2
+Not cloud        |
-Wget ------> | ptth_relay | <--- Server 3
+             HTTP client
-Curl ------> |            | <--- Server 4
-Reqwest ---> |            | <--- Server 5
 ```

+But uploading 1 TB to the cloud is expensive and slow, even if
+you're sending it to S3-like blob storage.
 
-Pick a relay computer and a server computer.
+With PTTH, the files can live outside of the cloud:
