All of Parler’s potential users are up for Gabs.

So where will it be hosted ? Let me guess — Oracle but under a different name

I think without twitter and facebook, etc. I can get more done all day every day. Maybe I have figured out that I was wasting a lot of time on both. I rarely check my email now. Mostly I look up restaurants and recipes on internet, and things to buy for my kids and grandkids! he he he

Nice pun. Unfortunately Parler worked great but they'll have to recode it from the bottoms up without the Amazon code. That will likely take a while. In the meantime Gab is unusable. I have yet to actually get it to load over the past four days.

The good news is there are lots of conservatives and free speech fans left in the USA. The bad news is there is no viable way for us to share ideas on social media.

Moving to Epik stops a domain registrar like GoDaddy from turning them off at the domain level.

Gab may become viable if they can get their site working consistently...

Like virtually all other tech business Epik be woke.

We are on our own.

I admire Gab, but I think in the end IANA will figure out how to block them, unless they have their own ISPs, wireless data network, and consumer devices in place.

Gab's not quite up to the task yet.

Epik is the Free-Speech registrar.

Godaddy could cancel (steal) your domain if you do not pass their ideology purity test.

LOL! True! It took me two days to sign up. But even crappy performance with a plan forward beats the zero performance of Parler. Plus the latter just sucks from a user POV - it's kludgy.

I wish both would get back up and running so that I could quit both (officially). I’m done.

I’ve been using Namecheap.com, but if they go Wonky it is good to know Epik is out there.

I am rooting for Gab. “Parler” was always a stupid name anyway. Literally the French verb “to speak.” FRENCH???

Someone else probably knows more about hosting companies.

For hosting Wordpress sites in particular, NameHero and SiteGround have good reputations, and the following website has good/honest reviews and possible discount offers: https://www.wpcrafter.com/hosting/

Yes !
It took two days for me to log on. Never got a “confirmation email” but was able to register & log on with “Username”.
It’s SlOw right now, but I foresee quick improvements.
I think patience is in order . . .
Page loading is insufferably slow & interacting with anything or anyone is damn near impossible.

I have a tendency to be very loyal. Parler didn’t deserve what happened so I will go right back to Parler as soon as they come back on line.
