Ask HN: Where to host your site for anonymity and free speech?

11 pointsby mrpixelover 14 years ago
This is not about sharing illegal files or disgusting porn but it should be such kind of geographical and technical setup. Where is it save to have one's opinions published without being bothered - ever?<p>Take a .to domain and host it in Russia for example?

<a href="http://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/</a> is willing to host anything that U.S. law allows them to, and makes more of an effort than most hosting companies to keep anything up that they can, and requiring that proper legal procedures be followed before they'll take things down (policy: <a href="https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/help/abuse" rel="nofollow">https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/help/abuse</a>). That would cover your "brand X sucks" example most likely, though perhaps not others.

O.K. I got it googled. The notion I was looking for is "offshore hosting" which could enable some quite popular free speech platform. Costs about US $120/month for a dedicated server. Thanks for your answers!

You could try i2p ( <a href="http://www.i2p2.de/" rel="nofollow">http://www.i2p2.de/</a> ). You can host anonymous websites inside i2p, which gives you anonymity and therefore, free speech.

.to domains seem to be a good bet. Tongas domain authorities don't provide anyone with information about domain owners.
