PeerWeb is a revolutionary way to host and share websites using WebTorrent technology. Instead of relying on centralized servers, websites are distributed across a peer-to-peer network, making them censorship-resistant and always available.
PeerWeb is a decentralized website hosting platform that utilizes WebTorrent technology to host and share websites across a peer-to-peer network. Instead of relying on centralized servers, it distributes content among users, making it censorship-resistant and globally accessible.
The main features of this tool include:
Serverless Decentralized Hosting: Websites are hosted on a P2P network, meaning they have no single point of failure and remain online as long as peers are active.
Simple "Drag & Drop" Uploads: Users can easily host a site by dropping a folder containing static files (HTML, CSS, JS) into the web interface.
Persistent Hosting Options: Sites can be hosted directly from a browser tab or via a desktop client (Windows, macOS, or Linux) for permanent availability without keeping a browser open.
Unique Hash-Based URLs: Each website receives a unique link based on its torrent hash; users can also load existing sites simply by entering their specific hash.
Smart Caching and Offline Access: PeerWeb uses IndexedDB storage to cache visited sites, allowing for instant repeat loading and even offline functionality.
Robust Security Measures: To protect users, the platform integrates DOMPurify for XSS protection, runs sites in a sandboxed iframe environment, and validates all content before it is displayed.
Developer-Friendly Tools: It includes a debug mode for real-time troubleshooting and an Advanced Torrent Creator for more granular control over how site files are packaged.
Free and Open Philosophy: There are no hosting fees, and the system is designed to be a cost-effective, perpetually available resource for the decentralized web community.
