  1. FAQ's on Decentralized Websites

How are decentralized websites different from traditional websites?

Difference between decentralized and traditional websites

Decentralized websites differ from traditional ones in the following ways:

  1. 🌐 Hosting: Traditional websites use centralized servers, while decentralized ones distribute content across many nodes, improving resilience and availability.

  2. 🛡️ Censorship: Centralized sites can be censored or taken down by authorities. Decentralized ones resist this as content is spread across many nodes.

  3. 🏷️ Domain Names: Traditional sites use the Domain Name System (DNS), while decentralized sites use blockchain-based systems like Ethereum Name Service (ENS) for user-friendly names.

  4. 🔒 Data Ownership: User data on traditional sites is often controlled by the website owner. Decentralized sites prioritize user control over personal data.

  5. 🤝 Trust: Traditional sites rely on trust in centralized entities, while decentralized sites use blockchain technology to minimize trust in intermediaries.

  6. 🗳️ Governance: Traditional sites are centrally controlled, while decentralized sites often use community-based decision-making models.

In short, decentralized websites offer a more resilient, secure, and democratic internet experience. 🌐💪
