Amazon's suspension of Parler's account means that unless it can find another host, once the ban takes effect on Sunday Parler will go offline.
Amazon on Saturday kicked Parler off its Web hosting services. Parler, a social network favored by conservative politicians and extremists, was used to help plan and coordinate the January 6 attempted coup on Washington D.C. It has recently been overrun with messages encouraging “Patriots” to march on Washington D.C. with weapons on January 19.
Amazon's suspension of Parler's account means that once the ban takes effect on Sunday Parler will be offline until it finds someone else to host it.
Amazon declined to comment on the suspension. Parler has not yet responded to a request for comment.

Sunday (tomorrow) at midnight Amazon will be shutting off all of our servers in an attempt to completely remove free speech off the internet. There is the possibility Parler will be unavailable on the internet for up to a week as we rebuild from scratch. We prepared for events like this by never relying on amazons proprietary infrastructure and building bare metal products.
We will try our best to move to a new provider right now as we have many competing for our business, however Amazon, Google and Apple purposefully did this as a coordinated effort knowing our options would be limited and knowing this would inflict the most damage right as President Trump was banned from the tech companies.
This was a coordinated attack by the tech giants to kill competition in the market place. We were too successful too fast. You can expect the war on competition and free speech to continue, but don’t count us out.

More Info: Parler CEO Says Service Dropped By “Every Vendor” And Could End His Business
"....Parler CEO John Matze said today that his company has been dropped by virtually all of its business alliances after Amazon, Apple and Google ended their agreements with the social media service.
“Every vendor from text message services to email providers to our lawyers all ditched us too on the same day,” Matze said today on Fox News.
Matze conceded that the bans could put the company out of business while raising free speech issues, calling it “an assault on everybody.”
“They all work together to make sure at the same time we would lose access to not only our apps, but they’re actually shutting all of our servers off tonight, off the internet,” Matze said. “They made an attempt to not only kill the app, but to actually destroy the entire company. And it’s not just these three companies. Every vendor from text message services to email providers to our lawyers all ditched us too on the same day.”...."
This is a partial transcript of a Fox News show with Maria Bartiromo.
I have Prime until February so I need to cancel it by then.
However, I have initiated closing my Amazon account. In this case Amazon is attacking our fundamental right to freedom of speech and freedom of association and our freedom to disagree with the government. The problem at this point it will take at least half of the 75 million who voted for Trump to shut off Amazon to impact them in any way. If we to not get tens of millions to respond Bezos could care less. I am doing the same with my apple account.
Anyone know if Parler has a backup to Amazon’s AWS?
goes off line tommorrow at midnight
will be down at least a week
Amazon doesn’t own the OC 12 lines that feed their data centers, knock them off by denying them access to the fiber , that’s a regulated utility and can’t discriminate.
.
.
think any Republican has the balls to bring this up? Nah why? because they AGREE with shutting us down.
For those with concerns regarding cloud hosting and desire a provider other than AWS, Google, Microsoft, you may want to consider the following:
Kamatera Cloud https://www.kamatera.com/express/compute/
Linode https://www.linode.com/
Serverspace https://serverspace.us/services/cloud-servers/
Cloudways https://www.cloudways.com/en/
LiquidWeb https://www.liquidweb.com/products/cloud-dedicated/
SiteGround https://www.siteground.com/cloud-hosting.htm
WP Engine https://wpengine.com/
I have Prime until February so I need to cancel it by then.

That’s okay, we don’t have to use their cloud services either.
Andrew Torba created GAB, a media platform that attracted Neo Nazis, white supremacists and other extremists. One of GAB’s members, Robert Bowers, posted anti Semite language and words telling of his intent to shoot up the Tree of Life synagogue in Squirrel Hill, Pa. When he did commit the shootings, he killed eleven people and wounded six. That caused Joyent to suspend its cloud host to GAB. Since then, GAB has had multiple problems that would take a book to describe. The extremists, when they are uninhibited, ruin everything they infest on both ends of the spectrum.
Chrome won’t let me access gab.com
I have to use another browser
By whom?
A bunch of tough talking internet tough guys??
Your post being the 1,494,404th one I’ve read this year.
If I had boxed like you guys act, I’d have been saying for 4 or 6 rounds “if you hit me again i’m gonna hit back!!! no this time i really mean it!! No, no THIS TIME.
People should stop posting foolish things they’ve no intention of doing.
You are not a buzzkill. Trump had plenty of time to fix this mistake allowing social media to use and abuse our freedoms. There’s even bipartisan support for regulating these e-utilities. He could’ve taken the lead and made some progress. Didn’t happen.
Bongino better have something ready. Others like CTH have migrated couple months back.
Guess we try GAB see if they survive this Marxist purge.
Hope Robinsons have FR safe and ready.
Amazon hosting refusing service? I’m sure . google cloud hosting will gladly fill in. Or Microsoft, or ....
Thanks!
No it’s not. THEY FIGHT. Our side is full of internet tough guy and idiots that run into the capitol following antifa jerks.
No more RALLIES or PROTESTS.
Either organize, be prepared to fight or shut up.
That should be the new motto for conservatives.
did you see a lot people here were against this too screaming “FREE MARKET” when in reality they are not operating that way.
You have a point. Even so the laws are in the books and Parler may get a court to enforce them and/or award damages. The have to be some young, good, and hungry lawyers who will willingly take on the case for a cut of Amazon's pie.
Trump needs on here.
Why hello, fascism, we haven’t seen you ‘round these parts in what, 75 years?
Stuff like this is really ineffective. You will never get enough people at one time to hurt them.
Now if truckers stop moving Amazons products or workers in their huge distribution centers walk off the job. They would notice that real quick. Even a percentage of their workers walked out they would be in trouble real quick.
These commies are playing a game that two sides can play. They won't be so bold when our side takes the field.
