QDN Benefits

The benefits of the Qortal Data Network in a single location, simple to understand and share with others.

Compare to Existing Hosting Options

Host Your Website or App with NO Continual Fees and N0 Security Worries

QDN allows you to publish a website or application (Q-App) without the need to pay for 'hosting' or any other continual fees. 

You actually OWN your QDN name, unlike 'domains' on the internet that you RENT. This means you have the right to use it, then sell it at any point. All completely without any involved 'authority' or service fees.


Compare to Typical Hosting Details

Publish Without Approval  

In order to publish a website or application on QDN, there is no 'approval' needed from anyone. Simply register a name, then publish your content.

Security Unparalleled 

QDN is a decentralized distributed data network, which means there is no reliance upon any centralized company to manage data for you, and the data is secured by the unstoppable decentralized blockchain database. Typical 'IT security' worries are a thing of the past.

Get Faster and More Secure as Your Presence Grows

With QDN hosted websites and applications, each new 'user' who accesses the site or app, provides another redundant copy of the web or app data, making the data unable to be 'lost' or 'corrupted'. 

Every 'data supernode' on QDN hosts a copy of  your data on top of each user and follower, so even the initial publish starts with multiple redundant copies.

Understand QDN

No Continual Fees

On QDN there is only ONE fee involved, the initial 'Name Registration'. This is a small fee paid to the network to create your name. Everything after that will not cost you ANYTHING. Not even a transaction fee to publish the data secured by the Qortal blockchain.

No Authentication to Manage

With QDN, all user authentication comes from the Qortal blockchain, therefore you never have to be concerned about 'data breaches' that 'leak' user information. You also don't have to concern yourself with managing a user database.

Other Details

Many times people ask about the ability to access from the internet. This is possible via 'gateway nodes'. There are two types of gateway nodes. Public gateways allow access to ANY website or application on QDN. Private gateways allow access to only ONE name on QDN. (Remember that access through a gateway requires a node on an internet domain.)

Selling your digital presence has never been easier. Your website, application, all associated data, 'NFT' (proof of ownership), git (code) repo, and all of your name's followers can be sold AT ONCE on the  Names Market. This is the future of how companies and sales of digital presences will take place.

Communication and access are possible through the same name. This allows for easy contact from users, and also quick and simple verification of the authenticity of any given data. Payments are also sent to the same underlying account, making it quite simple to keep your separate businesses separate in all regards.
