I have used totalchoicehosting.com for years. Reasonable rates. Good, quick customer support via email.

Siteground site proudly claims, “Our platform is powered by Google Cloud.”

Godaddy is run by crooks, don’t ever ever ever register a domain name with them because you can forget about ever transferring it to a different server.

[Tacrolimus1mg]

I guarantee the mere talk of guns and self-defense tips are enough to say that AR15.com promotes violence.

“Siteground site proudly claims, “Our platform is powered by Google Cloud.”

And....? What’s your point? I know you’re a fantastic person and provide me with mounds of amusement from SC, but unless you can prove that docking on Google Cloud somehow affects my website, you’re just blowing smoke out your rearend.

My comment should not be taken in a negative or disrespectful way because I admire your southern reporting grit and hope to one day buy you a cup of coffee and a piece of Publix cheesecake, unless the fat porkchop, Stacey Abrams, got there first and ate up the bakery section.

All of these server farms or hosting sites seem to be American companies. Are there any to look at that might be S. American, Japanese, India, ect? I would even imagine Chinese would be more money oriented that cutting off your paying customers. I mean I would personally hate it, but if you are showcasing AR15 products, what difference would it make if you were hosted in Russia or China. I wouldn’t think Parler would go there, but if America doesn’t want hundreds of millions a year. why not? A couple more milliseconds of lag won’t hurt most sites.

Coming to an website near you:

Our team investigated and discovered content on the site that both promoted and encouraged violence.

But....someone just said they disagreed with the democrat party on....

Correct, in our view that promotes and encourages violence, no dissent is allowed. Your site is hereby blocked and the poster will be placed on the FBI's "no internet access" list. Attempting to circumvent the ban will result in a $50,000 fine and 10 years in prison

What is GoDaddy and why should I give a healthy crap about them?

Maybe should change their name to “GoCensureship” or “GoComrades”.

Another ahole group to put on my “Do Not Patronize” list. It’s getting bigger every day and I’m saving a boat load of money by not using them.

Found out I can live without most of the internet crap and TV leftist hatemongering. Even my cat farts at them (a la a Monty Python gesture).

So now every liberal troll can go to any websites, like say FR, and “promote violence” and the website shuts down.

PLAY IN THEIR SANDBOX. We MUST register on leftist websites and do the same. Use Tor, VPNS, and of course, fake names. Post comments on every one of their sites like their trolls do. We must play by their rules. And when the overlords of tech refuse publicly call them out pointing out they are allowing violence to be promoted on their sites.

On Wikipedia’s Stormfront page:

“In August 2017, Stormfront’s domain name was seized by its registrar for “displaying bigotry, discrimination or hatred.”[12]

The site came back online on September 29, 2017. As of October 2017, services to keep the site online were provided by Tucows, Network Solutions, and Cloudflare.[56]”

I dislike Stormfront, but those domain registrars might be worth a look.

Oh, no. That would be terrible and awful. Don't. Stop. Don't. Stop. Don't stop. Don't stop. Don't stop.

AR15.com had contingency plans in place, since they knew they were a likely target for purging, doxxing, whatever term you want to use.

[familyop]

I just ran a whois on stormfront.org. Tucows is the registrar, and Cloudfare provides nameservers.

A question arises, though. Why is the left broadcasting associations all over the place between conservative sites and Daily Stormer (owned by an evil nut) while keeping so quiet about Stormfront (owned by pure evil)?

I use “Pair Networks”..not the cheapest but reliable and rock solid tech support on the phone.

and their “Domain” site: https://www.pairdomains.com/index.html

Data centers in PA & CO.

I CALL BULLSHIT!

My theory is that the Borg collective of silicon valley realizes that a) there is exactly zero real market for the racist evil that both Anglin and Black spew and b) they are useful, as they can be used to smear conservatives as being “just like those guys”.

In reality, the collectivist identitarians of Antifa and Stormfront are much more closely aligned than either would like to admit.

Yes, exactly.

Tech tyranny is all around folks. We all must rind ways to take money away from these criminals, democrat party front organizations.

GoDaddy may have to explain their own cancellation because it’s now clear to ALL of their customers that they can be canceled at the whim of the CEO.
