Centralized Web Hosting versus Decentralized Web Hosting
Over the years, web hosting services have been offered by companies that are under the control of the government. Websites that are deployed on these web hosting platforms might enjoy all the features they desire from such a platform but they are still faced with some challenges due to the centralized nature of their service providers.
A clear example of the disadvantages of a centralized system of service delivery can be seen with what happened in Nigeria. The network providers were forced to stop Twitter services to the citizens. Such a thing is not possible in decentralized service delivery.
Coming back to web hosting, a centralized web hosting platform like Netlify might be able to offer most web hosting services to websites deployed on their platform, but both the web hosting platform and the website owners suffer from censorship. Governments can bar specific data, put up regulations that may affect freedom of speech, website uptime, etc. This becomes a very big challenge for both website owners and web hosting providers because they are not free to make decisions that will promote their services.
To solve these issues, there was a need for decentralized web hosting, where governments will have no control. Data and information cannot be barred, website uptime can be at 100%, and the overall web hosting service will be more secured. This is made possible through the amazing features of the blockchain.
Immutability of data and codes is another advantage with web hosting on a blockchain. Website owners do not need to fear data breaches or loss as the blockchain is immutable and secure.
