Build a Decentralized Web Hosting Platform using IPFS and Web3.js
Enable censorship-resistant website hosting using the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), smart contracts for domain ownership, and Web3.js-powered interactions.Traditional web hosting is centralized and prone to censorship, outages, and single points of failure. Decentralized hosting stores websites across distributed nodes, ensuring that content remains accessible, tamper-proof, and verifiable even if traditional servers are compromised or taken down.
Using IPFS, websites can be stored in a distributed network where every file is content-addressed via cryptographic hashes. Smart contracts on blockchain (like Ethereum) can manage domain ownership, content updates, and payments. Web3.js allows users to interact with smart contracts from browsers securely.
Censorship-Resistant Hosting
Ensure that hosted content cannot be censored or removed by a single authority because of decentralized IPFS storage.
Blockchain-Based Ownership
Use smart contracts to handle ownership of content hashes, domain mappings, and hosting rights without centralized registrars.
Cheaper and Scalable Hosting Model
Reduce hosting costs significantly compared to cloud servers while providing global scalability and redundancy.
User-Controlled Deployment and Updates
Allow users to directly upload, manage, and update their hosted websites securely from browser wallets like MetaMask.
Users upload website files (HTML, CSS, JS) through the platform. Files are pinned to IPFS nodes, generating a content hash (CID). Smart contracts manage domain linking (e.g., ENS domains) to these hashes. Web3.js enables users to interact with smart contracts for domain updates, hosting payments, and ownership verification.
- Upload static site files and pin them to IPFS using an IPFS node or public gateway.
- Generate a unique content identifier (CID) for every site upload.
- Register or map domain names (e.g., ENS) to CIDs using Ethereum smart contracts.
- Allow users to update CIDs for domains via Web3.js and MetaMask interactions.
- Optional: Enable hosting fee payments and renewals via blockchain transactions.
Frontend Development
Next.js, React.js with Web3.js for user interactions, wallet integrations, and upload interfaces
Decentralized Storage
IPFS (Infura IPFS Gateway, Pinata, or self-hosted IPFS node) for website hosting
Smart Contracts and Blockchain
Solidity (Ethereum smart contracts), ENS (Ethereum Name Service) for decentralized domain linking
Authentication and Payments
MetaMask Wallet, Web3.js API, and Ether/Polygon blockchain for hosting payments
1. IPFS File Upload and Pinning System
Allow users to upload static site files and pin them to IPFS, receiving a permanent CID link.
2. Smart Contract Development
Deploy Ethereum smart contracts for domain-to-CID mapping and ownership verification.
3. Web3.js Frontend Interactions
Build Web3.js-powered forms for domain linking, CID updates, and payment transactions via wallets.
4. Hosting Payment and Renewal Logic
Enable fee payment handling in smart contracts, allowing users to renew or extend hosting durations.
5. Admin Monitoring and IPFS Node Management
Provide admin controls to monitor IPFS pins, remove expired content, and scale IPFS infrastructure if needed.
