From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peer-to-peer web hosting is using
peer-to-peer networking to distribute access to
webpages.
[1] This is differentiated from the
client–server model which involves the distribution of web data between dedicated
web servers and user-end client computers. Peer-to-peer web hosting may also take the form of P2P
web caches and
content delivery networks.
