IPFS or ZeroNet?
by jr_bob_dobbs from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5B8H3)
So I've been thinking of putting my site up again. The site will be html, with some tar files, pictures and possible audio files.
Rather than deal with web hosting, VPS's etc., I was looking into several available ways of hosting it on my hard drive, sort of. Several programs can do this, including a decentralized or distributed over time hosting of the file, so that one can be offline for a few hours and your site will still be up, with the added bonus of being censorship-resistant and harder to take down. In this day and age where anything one says can be interpreted as being offensive or wrong to someone, this last seems less like an extra feature and more like a future-proof requirement.
I've been doing research, as much as possible, without actually compiling and installing anything. This has reduced the possibilities to two: IPFS and ZeroNet.
Which is better?
Thank you.
