Hi @muneeb_majeed great work. Few things: 1. Can we host static sites created using Static site generators like Hugo, Jekyll, Gatsby etc... and then map it normal world TLDs like ( muneeb.com ) so that it can be accessed through normal browser like chrome and don't need my users to download blockstack browser? 2. Also, will these sites be indexed and discoverable by Google and other search engine? 3. I checked on sample site - wildrydes.id.blockstack but it appeared slow to surf. Can we add Cloudflare or other CDN services to make it faster? 4. Can you publish a guide on how to use or map custom domains with sites created using thing technology? Thank you.

@niteshmanav Hi Nitesh, thank you! 1. Can we host static sites created using Static site generators like Hugo, Jekyll, Gatsby etc... and then map it normal world TLDs like ( muneeb.com ) so that it can be accessed through a normal browser like chrome and don't need my users to download blockstack browser? Static generators: we tested with Jekyll and it was working as expected. We are planning to test out the other static generators soon. DNS mapping: currently, when you save your hosting settings and files, you will get an entry point URL which can be mapped to your custom DNS domain. We also have plans to integrate zeit.co now domains to make it easier to map custom DNS domains. Users don't have to download or install Blockstack to browse a website, but if the website is not mapped to a DNS domain, they have to use XOR (by entering the Blockstack name in the top search bar) to access the website. 2. Also, will these sites be indexed and discoverable by Google and other search engine? No, the sites will not be indexed in our current setup. We will research on this further to see what we can do about this. Thank you for bringing this up. 3. I checked on sample site - wildrydes.id.blockstack but it appeared slow to surf. Can we add Cloudflare or other CDN services to make it faster? The example website is served from the default Gaia hub provided by Blockstack. We didn't think much about the CDN services as we are focusing mostly on making it work using Blockstack Naming Service. But thanks for the feedback, we will for sure consider ways to make the sites faster. 4. Can you publish a guide on how to use or map custom domains with sites created using thing technology? Yes, we already started working on this. We also have plans to integrate zeit.co now domains to make it easier to map custom DNS domains. Thanks again for the feedback, Nitesh!
