Sounds like IPFS or torrents.
I am aware of those two, but those are just for file storage. I was thinking something more general. Like having a Virtual Private Server, that people can extend with their donated resources. VPS can be used for more than just file storage. It can do processing as well.
it will 100% be abused by assholes for mining some millicents in monero or do ddos attacks.
Processing for a website need to be as fast as possible. Nobody would like a loading screen "please wait - contacting p2p node 32292 for rendering your page" that will last several seconds, pages on a peer and database on another, plus all the overhead to manage sync between all the nodes
file storage doesn't require ultrafast processing. Make a static website with hugo, host pages on gh pages, and downloads on ipfs
