RE: XOR -Web hosting on Blockstack - Host Your Website - Stay In Control - Embrace Freedom

in #steemhunt6 years ago

You can use this platform if you don't own a website and want to share the content, photos, videos, and many other things in a free way. Easy to use, after logging into the application, users can search the search button above and see your content. One of the most common features of the application is the Gai repository that they use effectively against censorship. I would say it is reliable and user friendly because it is not in the warehouse center.

  • If you want to make your website available outside XOR, you can map the entry point URL to a custom DNS domain you own.
  • Built-in support to buy and setup custom DNS names from XOR - coming soon.

Thank you for taking time to comment, and more so- for looking into the details!

You can upload the files of an entire website into Ox Webhosting. That suggests that they can host a website but interpretation could still differ.

Two links are provided to demo sites that were made. Links, menu, about, etc..

What makes a website a website?
A possible concern- As provided, your site won't show up on google because the provided domain (a seperate product from hosting), should one choose to use it- is kept internal. That is exactly what some of us are wanting. This suits a number of uses.

Maybe you want to attract the general public to your site- get organic traffic, be found by almost anyone- Then you can point your own domain to the site and there you have it.

Decentralization is not absolute and you can chooses level of depth.
Example: You can install / own your own "hub"- the internal domain is then your own private internal domain. Later, you can change to a registered domain if that suits your purpose.

Not perfect or the right fit every time either. Blockstack uses the Bitcoin blockchain, btw, demonstrating alternate purpose. That is one motive among others that result in having access to these options.

Thanks again for taking a look and commenting.
