Abstract

Traditionally, websites are hosted viacentralized network, where the web servers distribute the website files to the clients. However a server failure can prevent the web applications from being used until the server goes live again. Due to the fact that websites rely entirely on the integrity of a single organization, it enables larger companies or government to decide what content is shown, this put into question the freedom that the internet originally brought. The block chain hosting service, also known as decentralized web hosting, is not controlled by a single organization or a third party organization. The architecture relies on peer-to-peer communication rather than client-to-server communication. Due to the decentralized nature of this system, all clients do not rely on a single server for their data, but instead data is sent directly between the clients across the network. It is possible to achieve this with the help of IPFS and Block chain. IPFS is a protocol for distributed file storage that allows computers to store and serve files in a peer-to-peer network by distributing them across computers and with the block chain technology, it is possible to ensure both authenticity as well as confidentiality.
