## How to host a website on Handshake?
|
|
|
|
<sub>Last updated: Nov 1st, 2023</sub>

|
|
|
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:

If your a bit more technical, you can follow the great tutorial
|
|
on the <a href="https://blog.htools.work/posts/hns-pdns-nginx/">Handshake Tools Blog</a>.
|
|
It goes into detail about each of the steps above and gives you control
|
|
over the whole process.
