Introduction

This is a decentralized web hosting solution using blockchain and IPFS.

Problem Statement

The way web hosting works today is by hosting all the web content including textual content, code and media content on a centralized location which can then be accessed over the world wide web. But did you know? Your site is going to be down when there is server maintenance or if a load of the server gets high. Hosting of websites also becomes costly over a long period of time. To solve these issues we have implemented a decentralized web hosting solution where your website remains unaffected of server issues such as traffic, or maintainence.

Solution

We have used IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) to store our website in a peer-to-peer architecture. We have also introduced another system similar to DNS system for people to host their website on. Using this people can directly use name strings to view websites.
