# Hosting on IPFS (Pinata)

IPFS stands for InterPlanetary File System and it is simply fantastic. The concept behind is that of a decentralised Content Delivery Network. I'm not going to bore you with technical details so let's show you how to put your Pazly website on IPFS. \
\
Step 1:  Sign up to [Pinata](https://www.pinata.cloud)

Step 2:  Build your website with [Pazly](https://pazly.dev/) and save it on your computer with the default name **index.html**, then place it in a folder

Step 3: Upload the folder to your Pinata

Pinata changed their file management policies for the **free accounts**. \
Please use the [https://ipfs.io/ipfs/](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/CID)**yourCID** to browse your website instead of the Pinata Gateway\

Example: \
This is broken: [https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/**QmPT9G1Rs9ftfgwftaH2CJtBGsH6vV8ZunyERsxwuUFj3u**](https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmPT9G1Rs9ftfgwftaH2CJtBGsH6vV8ZunyERsxwuUFj3u)\
\
This is working: [https://ipfs.io/ipfs/**QmPT9G1Rs9ftfgwftaH2CJtBGsH6vV8ZunyERsxwuUFj3u**](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmPT9G1Rs9ftfgwftaH2CJtBGsH6vV8ZunyERsxwuUFj3u)\ <br>
