Can StorJ be used for webhosting? So it can store files and transfer - but can it run programs while its being stored? Such programs is Apache, PHP, MariaDB etc.
2. Or if not, can a server run these programs, and call the source codes/database where it stores on StorJ?
Thank you.
Storj could be useful as a backend for a web site. For example, if wanted to build something like Imgur, you could run the entire website off a $5 20 GB web server. Storj could store and server millions of images without you actually having to store than information on your servers.
I could see some changes that could be made to Storj web node software that you could run a website off the Storj network. Honestly I think that could be a project in itself. Decentralized and autonomous web hosting with Storj as a backend. Once we get a little further in the project remind me again, and I'll see if we can put together a prototype for just that.
