In the realm of internet hosting, we typically associate it with services that store and manage websites. Traditional Web2 hosting services operate on a centralized server model, where website files and databases are stored on centrally managed servers. Users access the website through the internet. This hosting model is widely used, relatively simple, and suitable for many traditional websites and applications.

However, with the emergence of blockchain and decentralized technologies, Web3 hosting services have gained prominence. Web3 hosting services are built on distributed systems and blockchain technology. They store website files and data on multiple nodes, establishing a decentralized hosting model. In this model, website content is no longer confined to a single server but is spread across multiple network nodes. This decentralized hosting approach offers greater reliability, security, and resistance to censorship.

Arweave plays a crucial role in driving Web3 decentralized storage and introducing the Permaweb standard. The Permaweb aims to ensure that website content is permanently stored on the blockchain, preventing loss or tampering. While this vision holds promise, it also presents some challenges, particularly regarding hosting and managing Permaweb content, which can be complex.

This is where 4EVERLAND Ar Hosting comes in. Leveraging the decentralized architecture and capabilities of the Arweave protocol, 4EVERLAND Hosting offers users uncomplicated, secure, and dependable Permaweb hosting services. Whether it’s website building and management or ensuring the permanent preservation of website content, 4EVERLAND Hosting meets user needs and provides technical support and solutions.

4EVERLAND Hosting + Arweave

Positioned similarly to Vercel in Web3, 4EVERLAND Hosting provides quick, reliable, and secure hosting services for Web3 applications. It aims to provide top performance at minimal cost, ensuring the reliability and availability of applications. With numerous customization options, users can tailor their settings to meet the requirements of various application types.

Arweave for Frontend Storage

Arweave is a blockchain-based protocol that provides permanent and immutable storage for web content. By utilizing Arweave as a storage solution for Permaweb, developers can ensure that their frontend content is securely stored and available for public access. Arweave’s decentralized nature also eliminates the risk of single-point failure, making it a reliable choice for hosting Permaweb content.

CI/CD support for seamless deployment

Right now, it is easier than ever to start development, create a prototype, and test it to see if there is any market fit. This is especially convenient with 4EVERLAND Hosting, which offers free hosting, SSL Certificates, and out-of-the-box CI/CD capabilities.

Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) is a development practice that allows developers to automate the integration of code changes and deploy them to a production environment. Typically, developers only need to create a new project in their 4EVERLAND account and select the GitHub repository they want to deploy. 4EVERLAND will link with GitHub and automatically configure the CI pipeline. It will also attempt to guess the framework you are using and try to build it. Once completed, it will deploy it to a subdomain of *.4everland.app, which you can change to your domain.

The complete process should include

  1. Check out the source code
  2. Install the framework in our CI environment
  3. Install the dependencies in the package.json
  4. Run the listing, which makes sure that the code style guides are being used
  5. Run the tests
  6. The final step is to ensure that the code is buildable

With this, you are all set up in the CD Pipeline. 4EVERLAND is going to automatically detect commits against the main branch and is going to deploy it to the Permaweb network.

Simplified Environment Configuration

For non-technical users, establishing and configuring a Permaweb hosting environment can be a challenging task. 4EVERLAND Hosting not only supports various traditional frameworks and deployment experiences, but also lowers the development barrier. It simplifies this process by providing a user-friendly interface and pre-configured Permaweb hosting environment.

With 4EVERLAND Hosting, users can easily deploy their own Permaweb projects without worrying about complex environment setups.

EVEN Template deployment and ipfs/ens deployment scenarios

To make Permaweb more accessible, 4EVERLAND is dedicated to enabling non-technical users without coding experience to have their own Permaweb within 1 minute. In June of this year, we introduced a novel hosting feature called the 4EVERLAND Template Center. The Template Center aims to assist non-coding users in deploying personalized decentralized websites without the need for coding skills.

Additionally, 4EVERLAND also supports users in transitioning from IPFS to Permaweb. They only need to use the 4EVERLAND IPFS/IPNS/ENS deployment scenarios to seamlessly migrate their original website to Arweave with just one click.

More special features and advantages await your experience.

In conclusion,

Hosting Permaweb can be a complex task, but with the right tools and solutions, it can be made simpler and more accessible. With 4EVERLAND, developers and non-technical users alike can easily deploy and manage their Permaweb projects. This simplification of the hosting process will ultimately contribute to the growth and adoption of Arweave and Permaweb, making them more widely used.
