_{Last updated: Nov 1st, 2023}

Hosting a website on Handshake is just like hosting any other website. The process goes something like:

• Register a domain name
• Create a server and upload your website files
• Direct traffic from your domain to your website
• Secure the domain traffic

There are many tools you can use to create and host your site using your Handshake name.

Depending on how complex your website is, your security model, and other factors, will help you decide what hosting solution is right for you. Some options include:

• Vercel
• Fleek
• Github Pages
• IPFS
• dLinks

If your a bit more technical, you can follow the great tutorial on the Handshake Tools Blog. It goes into detail about each of the steps above and gives you control over the whole process.
