Give your site an identity.
Every website gets a persistent identity that isn't tied to one hosting machine.
What if a website wasn't tied to a server? N0Host explores a web where sites can move between machines—and keep their identity wherever they go.
Today, a website lives wherever its server lives. When that server disappears, the site can disappear with it.
N0Host imagines a different model. Sites have persistent identities, and independent computers can take turns hosting them. Lose a machine? Find another home.
A website is running on Host 01. Take it offline and watch N0Host find the site a new home. It's a simulation of the proposed system, not a real network.
The proposed network would use on-chain identities and host authorization. No blockchain transactions are sent by this demo.
Computers are temporary. A website's identity shouldn't have to be.
Every website gets a persistent identity that isn't tied to one hosting machine.
Authorized computers can store and serve the site's files, so it doesn't depend on a single host.
When a host fails, another authorized machine takes over. The site's identity stays the same.
Anyone could help host websites on N0Host. But how do you know those computers will actually show up?
That's where $N0HOST comes in. Hosts would lock tokens as a commitment to keeping sites available. Solana would record who has committed, which copies they're responsible for, and who is authorized to take over when a host fails.
Independent operators register computers as possible website hosts.
Hosts bond tokens to make a verifiable promise to store and serve site files.
If a machine drops out, another eligible host can take over.
It gives host operators something to commit. Proposed protocol rules could reward reliable participation and penalize provable failures. Verification and enforcement would need to be built before those guarantees could be real.
Servers go offline. Hardware breaks. Providers change. Your website should be more than the computer it's running on.
