Introduction to Sites

Filebase Sites allows you to host static websites on the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) with the same ease of use as traditional web hosting. By leveraging both IPFS for immutable content storage and IPNS (InterPlanetary Name System) for mutable updates, Filebase ensures your site is always online, censorship-resistant, and easy to update.

How It Works

When you deploy a site on Filebase, your content is pinned to IPFS, ensuring it's available across the global network. We then handle the complex task of updating IPNS records, so you can push updates instantly without changing your site's address. All of this happens automatically in the background.

Getting Started

Launching your first decentralized site is simple:

Deployment Steps

  1. Log in to the Filebase Dashboard.
  2. Navigate to the new Sites section.
  3. Click "New Project" and upload your static website files (HTML, CSS, JS).
  4. Your site will be live on a free .myfilebase.com subdomain in seconds.

Custom Domains & SSL

Every site deployed on Filebase comes with automatic SSL provisioned for you. You can use our free subdomains or bring your own custom domain (e.g., www.yourbrand.com) on our paid plans. We handle the certificate generation and renewal automatically.
