The internet was originally created as a place where users could search for information freely, without fearing repercussions. But, with the monetization of our attention comes a complete loss of privacy, as we’re surveilled constantly. Our online habits are analyzed and sold to third parties for commercial purposes. But data breaches are a more severe problem, and ransomware attacks have become quite a regular headline news fillers.
Internet users who need to host their data safely and anonymously utilize anonymous hosting. These location-hidden servers allow you to host your content without the chance of linking it back to you. All thanks to an anonymous sign-up process that won’t require personal details and thanks to untraceable crypto payments.
These are the main characteristics of truly anonymous hosting solutions:
- Accept anonymous registration
- Can be paid anonymously with Bitcoin or prepaid cards
- Tor user-friendly
- Offshore benefits
Anonymous hosting accepts anonymous registration
All you have to provide is an email address—nothing more, nothing less.
No KYC, no verification, or SMS. And even this email is only used to keep you updated about ongoing maintenance or security updates.
Anonymous hosting simply can’t leak any user’s personal data because they don’t have such data. The less personally identifiable information you provide, the less you jeopardize your privacy.
And when it comes to email, it’s strongly recommended not to use your personal or business email for anonymous services. Instead, users should use a temporary (disposable) email address or an anonymous, end-to-end encrypted email service such as Protonmail.
Anonymous VPS can be paid anonymously with Bitcoin or prepaid cards
We all know how easily can standard payment methods compromise your privacy. Anonymous hosting allows users to get anonymous VPS without needing to provide personal information. Stadard FIAT payments can connect users and the hosting provider via credit card or bank transfers. Truly anonymous hosting service allows only crypto payments making it hard or impossible to disclose your true identity.
Probably the most common cryptocurrency is Bitcoin. But is Bitcoin genuinely anonymous? Well, it’s better to say that Bitcoin is pseudonymous since all transactions are permanently written and stored in the blockchain. Therefore, users should be careful and not to link their wallets to services complying with KYC policy. Once the wallet identity is compromised, all past payments can be compromised too.
Some anonymous hosting providers utilized prepaid systems. Once you complete the sign-up process, you need to top up your credit (by crypto), and only then you’ll get to choose the most suited anonymous hosting plan.
Anonymous VPS is Tor user-friendly
For ultimate anonymity, truly anonymous hosting offers the onion domain accessible only by the Tor anonymity browser.
Website URLs that end in “.onion” are not like regular domains, these are top domains, and you can’t access them with a standard browser. These addresses point to Tor hidden services run by the Tor network.
Tor network anonymizes your online activity, so it can’t be monitored.
If Tor access google.com, for example, before your request reaches the final “exit node,” it bounces encrypted between random Tor relays. The exit node contacts google.com on your behalf and replies with the information Google provided. Google sees this as your IP address instead of you reaching the exit node.
Strong encryption ensures that anyone keeping an eye on the Tor exit nodes cannot spy on your browsing activities. Additionally, utilizing the Tor network, anonymous web host might conceal their server, making it impossible for anybody to locate it.
Anonymous hosting is ideal for starting an anonymous blog, hosting a website anonymously, or running any online project without exposing your true identity. VPS technology allows you to choose your hosting plan from many configurations of strictly allocated resources such as RAM, SSD, and vCPU. You can even configure your own anonymous hosting plan that matches your needs based on the nature of your project.
Anonymous offshore hosting
VPS, or Virtual Private server, meaning that a physical server is divided into virtual servers with strictly allocated resources, thanks to virtualization. These physical servers are often located in offshore destinations; thus, we can talk about anonymous offshore hosting. Different offshore jurisdiction makes offshore hosting ideal for services prohibited or restricted in the country of your residence. Some offshore hosting services even claim to be DMCA resistant, meaning they don’t comply with DMCA takedowns orders.
In Conclusion:
True online anonymity requires some adjustments to your digital routine including switching your browser, payment system, email, and hosting provider. Only an anonymous hosting provider with anonymous sign-up and cryptocurrency payments will get you a truly anonymous hosting service.
If you’re looking for anonymous online solutions, anonymous VPS is your best choice.
