Recently, ZNS has launched their IPFS public gateway, zksync.limo. This feature not only proxies your address but also provides resolution for the IPFS content associated with your ZNS domain under the .zksync domain, along with Web2 accessibility.

In simple terms, you can now build a website on IPFS and access it through ZNS, all in a permissionless and decentralized manner!

This tutorial will show you in detail how to deploy your website on IPFS and configure your .zksync as the website domain. And because 4EVERLAND offers free IPFS storage and bandwidth for each user, the deployment will be 100% free!

Quickly deploy your website on IPFS

-Login 4EVERLAND with your Web3 identity.

– Select hosting and create a project

You can directly import your github repo or you can choose to build from an IPFS cid or a 4EVERLAND template.

You don’t want to authorize your Github, you can still deploy via 4EVERLAND Hosting Cli.

4EVERLAND supports IPFS, Arweave and Dfinity as the website hosting network.

We highly recommend you to turn on the switch “deploy hook” so that your website on IPFS will be updated automatically according to your github updates, it will greatly reduce your operation and maintenance energy.

If you don’t have a code background or don’t have a website repo in github. 4EVERLAND template must the best choice for you to own a dedicated website. Still choose IPFS as the hosting layer and you can insert any links you want to show in your website.

Binding your .zksync domain

(Path: Hosting — domain)

After the deployment, pls check your project details, settings-domain or directly find the domain settings and select the deployed project. Then you can bind your .zksync domain.

Enter your .zksync name and copy your IPFS CID (IPNS not supported yet), then click zns.is and login to the platform via your address including your .zksync domain!

– Paste your CID

Paste the CID you just copied in 4EVERLAND in your .zksync domain dashboard-IPFS Content and signature via your metamask.

(The CID will be synchronized to zkSycn, so you need to spend some gas to finish the deployment)
