<h2>How to set up and announce your hidden service website</h2>
- <p>Your website is stopped by default. After you start it, it will be difficult for other people to find because it

+ tunnel, it will be difficult for other people to find - it can only be
+ accessed with your Base64 string or with the b32, which is a SHA256 hash

- <code>i2p/hosts.txt</code> to see if your name is already taken. Enter the new name for your website on the
- <a href="http://127.0.0.1:7657/i2ptunnel/edit.jsp?tunnel=3">Hidden Service Configuration page</a> where it says
- "Website name". This will replace the default "mysite.i2p". Also, check the "Auto Start" box. Your website will
- now start every time you start your router. Be sure to click "Save".
