Web apps and static sites can be deployed on the permaweb, where they remain accessible and unaltered indefinitely, for a low, one-time hosting fee.
This makes AR.IO, powered by Arweave, ideal for decentralized apps, archival websites, educational resources, and legacy projects that benefit from long-term availability without ongoing maintenance costs.
How AR.IO Solves Key Pain Points for Web Apps and Static Sites
Link Rot and Data Loss:
One of the biggest issues on the internet is link rot, where links break over time as web pages are removed, altered, or moved, resulting in the loss of valuable information. On the permaweb each website or app is stored immutably and given an permanent link. This ensures that once content is uploaded, it will always be accessible while preventing data loss.Decentralized network to fight Centralized Control and Censorship:
Traditional web hosting platforms are susceptible to centralized control and censorship, where governments, corporations, or service providers can remove or alter websites and web apps. The foundation of the permaweb is a global network of decentralized data storage nodes and gateways that ensures your website or app remains uncensorable and free from external interference.Ongoing Hosting and Maintenance Costs:
Conventional hosting requires ongoing payments, and failing to renew can lead to your website going offline. AR.IO eliminates this issue with its pay-once, store-forever model, where a single payment ensures your web app or static site is hosted permanently without any further costs. This makes AR.IO an ideal solution for long-term projects, archival websites, and businesses that want to avoid the risk and expense of continuous hosting fees.Version Control and Preservation:
In traditional hosting setups, updates to websites or apps typically overwrite older versions, making it difficult to maintain a version history. With the permaweb each update is stored alongside previous versions. This allows users and developers to access any version of a website or app at any time, providing full transparency and preservation of content, which is especially useful for historical records, archival projects, and evolving applications.

Advantages of AR.IO for Web Apps and Static Sites
Permanent Hosting
With AR.IO, web apps and static sites are hosted permanently on the permaweb, eliminating the need for ongoing maintenance or renewal fees. This ensures a website or app is always accessible, without the risk of disappearing due to server outages, service provider shutdowns, or lack of funding.Immutable and Tamper-Proof
Data on the permaweb is immutable, so once a web app or site is uploaded, it cannot be altered or tampered with. For apps that require full transparency, such as legal documents, educational resources, or historical archives, users can trust that the content remains exactly as it was first published, protecting the integrity of information.Arweave Name System (ArNS) for Improved Findability
The Arweave Name System (ArNS) simplifies content discovery on the permaweb by assigning human-readable names to web apps, static sites, and data. Instead of complex URLs, users can access content through memorable, customizable names, making navigation easier across decentralized platforms. This improves findability for social apps, businesses, and educational sites, while offering options like vanity names or undernames for personalized experiences.Accessible from Anywhere, Always Online
The Permaweb ensures that websites and pages are never down, avoiding the common frustrations of “404 Page Not Found” errors. Because AR.IO leverages a decentralized network of nodes to store on Arweave and gateways to serve web apps, there’s no single point of failure. Even if some nodes or gateways go offline, a site remains fully accessible, providing uninterrupted access.
