What’s Handshake Domain Name?

Learn about a fresh perspective on domain name ownership. Handshake is a blockchain-based peer-to-peer network that functions similarly to a secure public registry. It means bypassing the traditional organizations and registries that hold sway over the internet, giving you more freedom, security, and control over your domain name.

Additionally, you are allowed to register unique domain names other than those ending in .com,.org,.net, or any other traditional domain extensions. The data security, privacy, and professional assistance you already receive from NiceNIC.NET will remain intact, nonetheless.

Why Handshake domain names?

Become a pioneer

By registering a Handshake domain, you join the growing movement to gradually decentralize the internet. Create a website with a domain name that you completely own and manage.

Enjoy online freedom

The power is transferred to domain name owners as the web grows less centralized, with less control or gatekeeping. With just a few clicks, safely log in to the decentralized web without jeopardizing your privacy. You can share info anyway you like.

Stay secure

Handshake domains are distributed on a blockchain, which provides more resistance to security scams and hacking attempts.

Encourage internet parity

A more equal online environment where technologies are driven by the Internet community rather than a small number of stakeholders is produced by the progressive decentralization of the web.

How to access your Handshake domain name?

The majority of browsers are not configured to navigate to Handshake?domains, despite the fact that Handshake is at the vanguard of creating a more open and free Internet. Thankfully, there are easy methods to make these new domains visible to and resolveable from your browser or device.
Use one of the resolvers below to get to your Handshake domain. You may check if your browser can reach any Handshake domain quickly, easily, and for free by doing this.

7 ways to access your Handshake domain

NextDNS

NextDNS is a Domain Name System (DNS) service that can be used to access Handshake domains.Onceyou have this service set up on your device, go to your settings and turn on the option to "ResolveHandshake domains" Check out this video for step-by-step instructions.

HNS.to

Simply enter vour site address in the search bar at the top of the HNS to page to access a Handshakedomain. Alternatively, you can affix "hns.to/" directly before your site address. This easy, convenientoption requires no changes to your current DNS settings.

Browser extensions

A number of developers have created browser extensions that allow users to access Handshakeseamlessly. Options include Bob Wallet and LinkFrame, both of which are available for Chrome. ForFirefox, an add-on called Resolvr is available.

HDNS.io

With HDNS, you can access Handshake websites directly in your browser using an encrypted DNSprotocol, which helps to protect against DNS spying and tampering. This is a public resolver option, andthere's no signup process required. You'll still be able to access regular sites as well, like Google,YouTube, etc. To use HDNS, you'll need to change the DNS server settings on your computer. Simpleeasy-to-follow instructions are provided here.
HSD/HDNS node

The Handshake software's full node (HSD) is a great option for managing a Handshake domain. HSD actsas a resolver and allows you to register, update, and transfer names or make blockchain payments.Another option is the software's light client (HNSD), which is better suited to those who just want to beable to resolve Handshake names without using the computing power reguired to run the full node.
VPN

Some VPN services also include an option to resolve Handshake domains. For example, VPN users maybe able to switch their selected name server to Handshake Naming System instead of the default domainname system. If you're already a VPN user, check to see if this is an option your service provides.
Fingertip

Developed by lmpervious, Fingertip is an open source, lightweight Handshake resolver. In addition toHNS, Fingertip also provides simple access to external namespaces like ENS. The menubar app isavailable for both Mac and Windows and is easy to set up.

Frequently asked questions:

What is Handshake?

Why do I want a Handshake domain?

A Handshake domain functions just like traditional domains available through the domain name system (DNS) when accessed with a DNS resolver. However, using a Handshake domain provides a few key advantages, including:

Online freedom: Handshake minimizes the role of centralized authorities, which means more freedom of expression online. At the same time, the blockchain ensures the permanence of each Handshake site, thereby eliminating the chance of outside interference and creating a corruption-resistant online space.
Safe from seizure: The blockchain-based system means that Handshake TLDs can’t expire, be deleted, or be seized by the government, ICANN, and other authorities.
Protection without CAs: Handshake users don’t need a Certificate Authority (CA) to act as a middleman for verification and security. Instead, Handshake domain owners sign and control their own private keys for authentication purposes.
More privacy: Users enjoy more anonymity when they use Handshake compared to traditional domains, which have to be registered with a third party.
Unique web addresses: Handshake offers a number of distinctive TLDs to set your identity apart. Examples include .pgp, .p, and .j.
Regular domains like .com and .org are under the control of ICANN. When you have a Handshake domain, it’s under your control. You’re free to use it as you please without oversight or censorship from outside organizations.
Another benefit of choosing a Handshake domain is enhanced security. Most websites are verified by certificate authorities (CAs). If a CA is attacked, sites may be susceptible to massive phishing scams, arbitrary take-downs, or data breaches. That’s not a concern when you’re using a domain on Handshake’s blockchain.

What are the pros and cons of decentralized systems on the web?

Some people argue that the Internet is already fairly decentralized considering that anyone can connect through any Internet Service Provider. So, with alternatives like Handshake, it’s important to consider what pros and cons a decentralized web (dWeb) has to offer.
A decentralized web (dWeb) offers a number of advantages for users, including:

Less censorship: There is minimal gatekeeping and oversight on decentralized systems, which gives users more opportunities for open expression.
More security: The use of the blockchain provides increased resistance to security scams and hacking attempts.
Increased innovation: The dWeb can encourage more innovation when it comes to open source development of online products and tools.
Internet equality: Users of decentralized systems have more power than in online spaces where a few organizations hold most of the power.

There are also some limitations and possible drawbacks to decentralized systems on the web, such as:

Ease of access: dWeb applications typically require additional steps to access compared to traditional browsers (like setting up a DNS resolver, for example), which could inhibit user adoption.
Regulatory and legal risks: Because there is less oversight on the dWeb, it’s also more difficult to police cybercrimes like online harassment and child abuse images. If crimes are detected, it won’t be immediately clear which country’s laws should apply to each website.
Personal responsibility: Individual dWeb users own all of their activity and data online, which requires increased responsibility on a personal level. For example, sites like Facebook and Twitter can try to limit the spread of misinformation online, but that type of oversight isn’t available on decentralized systems.
