ICANN registrars (GoDaddy, Google, Network Solutions) have been hijacking domain registrations, refusing to perform DNS, etc.. Nearly all residential ISP’s block port 80 and 443 preventing you from ‘being your own host’. Attempting to put any ‘controversial’ content online requires the use of a DDOS mitigation service (such as CloudFlare, Akamai, etc..)

see: Why the alt-right can’t build an alt-internet https://www.theverge.com/2017/8/21/16180614/charlottesville-daily-stormer-alt-right-internet-domain


I was hosting my own site on a residential ISP using DynDNS for about $80 per year. It's very possbile to host your own a number of ways.

Does your site have the traffic that Stormfront and Daily Stormer had (large)?

What you described will work until DytnDNS locsk your domain and refuses to resolve it.

It will work until your hosting company drops you for some vague terms of service violation.

It will work until hostile groups DDOS your site (or actually your hosting service) into submission.

You cannot host large sites on $80 per year services (designed personal sites). Even a small business site can be effectively shut down if the payment services refuse service.

Your $80 per-year site is up because it is not perceived a threat or has not caught the Eye of Sauron.

Alt-tech will arise and build services (at least partly) outside the grip of the current establishment, but that is a large, difficult, and expensive undertaking.
