4EVERLAND Hosting Now Supporting ENS+IPNS

4EVERLAND https://www.4everland.org/

4EVERLAND https://www.4everland.org/Hosting now supports Ethereum Name Service (ENS), enabling all users to bind their InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) deployments to their own traditional DNS domains as well as the new ENS domains.

Users can now easily bind an ENS domain name to their IPFS site and have the content automatically updated for future deployment by using the 4EVERLAND Hosting service which supports the ENS domain name system.

The combination of Hosting and ENS allows all Dweb users to be truly decentralized without having to rely on traditional centralized services.

The key issue with ENS updates and transactions is that IPFS content hashes changes with every deployment, therefore you must alter the hash each time on your domain.

Now, what if we used ENS for a different type of record that would not change on each deployment, but reference a different IPFS hash which we could update without having to trigger multiple transactions on the Ethereum network?

For that reason, 4EVERLAND uses IPNS to update ENS domains.

The InterPlanetary Name System (IPNS) was designed by the IPFS team to solve this issue by creating an address that can be updated.

We can now set a static IPNS address and make IPFS hash updates in layer 2, rather than altering your IPFS hash on your ENS name.

In this way, we can reduce ENS transactions to just 1 without losing the distributed/decentralized privileges of IPFS and ENS. When a user adds an ENS domain, a transaction is performed to change the ENS domain content hash to the new IPNS address.

From then on, all future IPFS hash updates a user makes, change or deployment will be done on that site’s specific IPNS address record, at zero cost, without any gas fees. It’s not only scalable but also fast and cost-effective.

About ENS

The Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is a distributed, open, and extensible naming system based on the Ethereum blockchain. ENS’s job is to map human-readable names like ‘alice.eth’ to machine-readable identifiers such as Ethereum addresses, other cryptocurrency addresses, content hashes, and metadata.

Advantages of ENS

• Allows for human-readable wallet addresses meaning you can send funds to a domain name
• Can allow for easy access to Swarm and IPFS content hashes
• Better security than DNS as ENS runs on the Ethereum block chain as a set of smart contracts
• You can create subdomains
• Domains and subdomains can be resold
