Click "Add" to add the destination to your address book.
<li>In your browser, enter in your eepsite name (<i>something</i>.i2p) and you should
be right back here. Hopefully it worked.
<li>Before you tell the world about your new eepsite, you should add some content.
Go to i2p/eepsite/docroot and replace the index.html redirect page with your own content. Virtual folders work, so you can host files from a sub directory without explicitly needing to provide a page with links to files. If you need a template for a basic site, feel free to borrow and adapt <ahref="pagetemplate.html">this page</a> and <ahref="lib/">content</a>!
</ul>
<h2>Register your own .I2P Domain</h2><ul>
<li>Now it's time to add your eepsite to an I2P address book hosted by a site
such as <ahref="http://stats.i2p/">stats.i2p</a>.
That is, you must enter
your eepsite name and key into a web interface on one or more of these sites.
Here is <ahref="http://stats.i2p/i2p/addkey.html">the key entry form at stats.i2p</a>.
Again, your key is the entire "Local destination" key on the
Be sure you get the whole thing, ending with "AAAA".
Don't forget to click "add a key".
Check to see if it reports the key was added.
Since many routers periodically get address book updates from these sites, within several hours others will be able to find your website by simply typing <i>something</i>.i2p into their browser.
<li>Speaking of address book updates, this would be a good time to add some more addressbooks
to your own <ahref="http://127.0.0.1:7657/susidns/subscriptions.jsp">subscription list</a>. Go to your subscriptions configuration page and add a couple of these for an automatically updated list of new hosts:<ul>
<li>If you are in a hurry and can't wait a few hours, you can tell people to use a "jump" address helper redirection service.
This will work within a few minutes of your entering the key to an address book on the same site.
Test it yourself first by entering
http://stats.i2p/cgi-bin/jump.cgi?a=<i>something</i>.i2p or
or http://i2host.i2p/cgi-bin/i2hostjump?<i>something</i>.i2p
into your browser.
Once it's working, then you can tell others to use it.
<li>Some people check eepsite lists such as
<ahref="http://inproxy.tino.i2p/status.php">inproxy.tino.i2p/status.php</a> for new eepsites, so you may start getting
a few visitors. But there are plenty of other ways to tell people. Here are a few ideas:
<ul>
<li>Post a message on the <ahref="http://forum.i2p/viewforum.php?f=16">Eepsite announce forum</a>
on <ahref="http://forum.i2p/">forum.i2p</a>.
<li>Tell people about it on the #i2p or #i2p-chat channels on IRC.
<li>Put it in a new post on <ahref="http://syndie.i2p2.de/">the new Syndie</a>.
<li>Put it in <ahref="http://ugha.i2p/EepsiteIndex">Ugha's Eepsite Index Wiki</a>
</ul>
Note that some sites recommend pasting in that really long destination key.
You can if you want - but
if you have successfully posted your key at an add-key service,
tested it using a jump service, and waited 24 hours for the
address book update to propagate to others, that shouldn't be necessary.</ul>
