Here below are the methods to set up your own Cryptocurrency Explorer

Solution 1: Host your Explorer on Blockerry

Deploying a Crypto Explorer involves a bit of a technical part.

Maintaining Crypto Explorer takes deploying a correct version of Nodejs, setting up crontab, syncing explorer, keeping a node running in the background, and whatnot. Domain point and maintaining SSL is another tough nut to crack.

You can avoid all the hustle, with minimalistic cost, and that too without even maintaining a virtual cloud server. The Solution to all the above problems is – Blockerry!

Blockerry is a No-Code Blockchain Service provider platform. They provide a service to host your cryptocurrency explorer there for a cost as low as $29 per month. Just sign up and fill up the minimum details required to run the Explorer. They also take care of domain pointing with SSL service at the same cost. In case of any issues, you can raise a ticket to their support team and they will help you out.
