Websites & Apps

Ar.io enables teams to deploy web applications and static sites on decentralized storage with a one-time settlement model. Once published, content remains accessible, intact, and verifiable over time — without reliance on recurring hosting contracts, centralized infrastructure, or ongoing maintenance obligations.

This makes ar.io well suited for applications and sites that must remain available over the long term, including public-facing platforms, educational resources, documentation, digital products, and archival or legacy projects.

Why ar.io for web apps and static sites?

Most websites do not disappear because they are no longer needed. They disappear because hosting expires, infrastructure changes, providers shut down, or links break.

Ar.io addresses these structural risks by separating site access from traditional hosting dependencies.

What ar.io enables

Elimination of link rot and access loss
Content deployed via ar.io is stored immutably and addressed permanently. Once published, links do not break due to server changes, migrations, or expired hosting — ensuring long-term accessibility for users, customers, and downstream references.

Permanent deployment without recurring fees
Ar.io uses a pay-once model that removes the need for ongoing hosting subscriptions. This reduces long-term cost uncertainty and eliminates the risk of sites going offline due to missed renewals, budget changes, or vendor lock-in.

Resilient access without single points of failure
Ar.io operates a decentralized storage and access architecture designed to withstand infrastructure outages and service disruptions. Even if individual systems fail, content remains accessible through the network — providing stronger guarantees than traditional hosting models.

Version preservation and historical continuity
Each update to a site or application is preserved as a separate, immutable version. Teams can reference, audit, or restore prior states at any time — supporting transparency, historical records, and long-lived digital products.

Discoverable, human-readable access
Ar.io provides a built-in access and naming layer as part of its internal system, enabling sites and applications to be referenced through stable, human-readable identifiers rather than fragile URLs — improving usability without exposing underlying infrastructure complexity.

How leading innovators are currently leveraging ar.io:

Who this is for

• User platforms publishing content on behalf of users
• Teams shipping long-lived documentation or digital products
• Educational and research organizations
• Public-facing services requiring durable access
• Builders seeking to reduce hosting risk and maintenance overhead

Why this matters

The web was not designed for permanence. As more value moves online, broken links, inaccessible applications, and lost references quietly erode trust, usability, and institutional memory.

Ar.io enables teams to publish with confidence — knowing that once something is released, it remains accessible and intact over time.
