A handful of Big Tech companies moved to take down social media platform Parler over the weekend, but it appears to have found a new company to help try to keep its website running.
On Monday, Parler registered its domain and server to be hosted by Epik, an internet webhosting company known for working with right-leaning websites. Gab, another social media platform popular with conservatives, also uses Epik. A web domain search shows that Parler is now registered with Epik.
Epik seems to be a privately held company.
CEO & Founder is Rob Monster.
Gab, apparently, hosts their own servers. And they just got a HUGE dump of new users. Spinning up new hardware does take time. Not to mention, provisioning new pipe.
I plan to deploy new projects on Oracle. Though, I prefer Postgres for the relational stuff.
LOL. So what? It is better to be in Jeff Bozo's cloud ( of sh!t )? So he can pull the plug anytime he wants to?
#36.
Wikipedia is also getting involved in the Parler bashing by calling it a Donald Trump far fight antisemitic site.

Libertarians are beyond stupid. Open border globalist free traitor idiots all.
LOL
I think you’re right. I couldn’t find a listing.
I’d buy now if I could.
They are.
I want using a capital L. Borders are not the point. Individual autonomy is the point.
A big problem is those that control the DNS servers and control the backbone of the internet still have a say. A really big say!
Anti Semitic site?
Let’s ask Mark Levin.
“Oooh... Ken said ‘Mark Levin’ Let’s confront him!”
See how it works?
Borders are the whole point. Without borders there is no country.
Bump!!!
Funny
They’ll deny BGP access and make the ISP and island
That needs its own thread
I’m also in the Bay Area. I think that there a number of factors at play in the leftward shift of Silicon Valley over the last 30 years. Few remember now how closing the earliest tech companies had ties as defense contractors. The Lockheeds and Fairchilds and HPs and others were doing big business as defense contractors, and that affected the overall mindset.
Another part of it is a generational thing. Most of the first generation of that culture were born in the 1920s-40s and were veterans of WW2, Korea or Vietnam-era military service and were more conservative and patriotic. With ending of the draft in 1973, far fewer Americans are veterans and that’s become especially true of the high-end college-educated crowd from which Silicon Valley draws its ranks.
Also, university education has become harder and harder left over the past half century, and that has turned out more and more left-leaning grads.
What a joke. We need to stop patronizing products from Silicon Valley.
Thanks for posting. Now I have a reference guide to refer to.
