Speed Benefits of IPFS
We don’t have to fish out money for Content Distribution Networks (CDN). Imagine this. If you are in the United States, and you want to access a website that is hosted in Australia. The internet cables that run underneath oceans would have to travel quite far. Making the website load slower. CDN help by hosting your web content on their servers. You can have your website in both United States and Australia, allowing faster website loading speed. However, CDNs cost money, you are literally renting another server in another country to host your website. CDNs might not be a viable option for website owners who are on a budget or non-profit organizations. IPFS, by design, allows website visitors to ping the nearest computer that participates in the IPFS network. Speeding up websites without costly CDNs.
What it does
As a Web Developer, after designing and developing the web page we have to host it somewhere and for that, we have to buy a domain for our website. Using our application users just need to provide the HTML file of the website and after a few clicks the website is live and the file is stored in decentralized using IPFS and CID is being stored in the smart contract.
How we built it
I've designed the UI using HTML and CSS. used moralis for the authentication part and used IPFS to store the Hosted HTML file and Metadata of the website.
Challenges we ran into
Get lots of errors while Integrating IPFS into the Application. and also got many other errors in development.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
After facing lots of errors in development finally able to build the prototype. To solve many problems I've gotten to know about the Moralis. I used it and completed the project.
What we learned
I explored the IPFS and FileCoin to complete the project and get to know so many things about IPFS like. IPFS is a peer-to-peer distributed file system. It connects all participating computer devices with the same system files. IPFS is also the protocol to access digital files connected to NFT. Web files version is synced with computers all around the globe. Every computer that downloaded the IPFS software is hosting their website and participating in the distribution network! Even if your own computer with IPFS got taken down, other participating computers hold a version of your website.
