Web App Deployment using Spheron Protocol

I deployed my first web app using Spheron Protocol.
It was my first experience of deploying web application and the deployment was pretty smooth. It got completed in just 15 seconds. Isn't it cool 😎.

For those who don't know what Spheron Protocol is or what it does.
Spheron Protocol is a decentralized web app deployment and hosting platform for automating modern dapps.
Using Spheron Protocol, developers can securely launch web apps, store and retrieve assets, host websites and gain HTTPS on every deployment.
Developers can deploy static websites, React, Vue, Angular, Nextjs web apps, dapps and eth apps.
It requires only a one-time fee and has no hidden fees or recurring web archival costs. To know more about the pricing Click on 'Spheron Network Pricing'.

In this blog I'll be sharing my experience of deploying web application using Spheron Protocol.

So, the first step is to head on to the official website of Spheron Protocol.
