Parler's website suddenly reappeared online Sunday afternoon with a message from its CEO, John Matze: 'Hello world, is this thing on?'
The message, dated January 16, implies that the social network popular with members of the far right has found a new online hosting platform, after Parler was booted from Amazon Web Services on January 10 in the wake of the Capitol siege.
Parler now appears to be hosted by Epik, according to a WHOIS search. Epik is a hosting platform that supports Gab, 8chan and other services often used by members of the far-right.
Prior to hosting Parler, Epik issued a lengthy statement blasting what it said was a 'kneejerk reaction' by major companies of 'simply deplatforming and terminating any relationship that on the surface looks problematic or controversial.'
A temporary status update on parler.com also appeared beneath Matze's message.
'Now seems like the right time to remind you all — both lovers and haters — why we started this platform,' the status update said. 'We believe privacy is paramount and free speech essential, especially on social media. Our aim has always been to provide a nonpartisan public square where individuals can enjoy and exercise their rights to both. We will resolve any challenge before us and plan to welcome all of you back soon. We will not let civil discourse perish!'

“...often used by members of the far-right...”
How about “often used by conservatives...”
Accuracy means a lot, you know...
Beware!!!! There is a PARLER and a PARLOR
Dan Bongino has been adamant that Parler will be back soon. This weekend or Monday.
He’s super p.o.ed and a fighter on our side!
They ought to sign a agreement of support for each other.
But, at this time, I doubt if parler has the cash on hand to do much.
They will after they get a settlement from Amazon.
Parler, gab, minds, and telegram.
Parler. There is a PARLOR. That is not the right one
Yeah, I guess Epik finally came through. They were handling the domain name already. Guess they’re going to host the site too. Since tptb came down on parler so hard, they probably had to think about it and maybe do some hardening of their systems.
“Now seems like the right time to remind you all — both lovers and haters — why we started this platform,’ the status update said. ‘We believe privacy is paramount and free speech essential, especially on social media. Our aim has always been to provide a nonpartisan public square where individuals can enjoy and exercise their rights to both. We will resolve any challenge before us and plan to welcome all of you back soon. We will not let civil discourse perish!’”
Excellent statement.
I’m on Gab and Parler and like Gab best. I was so disgusted with Twitter that I was relieved when the finally suspended Trump , because that was the instant I could justify leaving. I wouldn’t have put up with kind of oppression/censorship anywhere else for anyone else.
Still getting the 404 Not Found...bummer
Do they ever say “near right”?
I question whether any kind of social media is healthy for society at large. How about dealing with neighbors and family face to face? The internet deludes users into thinking and wishing they have greater influence than is real.
Hang it up and live. Says this guy on FR with an FB account.
It looks like Parler is not absolutely dead and is fighting to get back up. I hope they make it. It rebukes the internet tyrants.
The President isn’t on Parler.
The CEO mirrored Trump’s entire Twitter feed into a Parler account created in reserve for him should he choose to accept it.
There has been no indication that he has.
Not that he won’t; it just hasn’t happened.
Be patient; give them time to load the servers and configure things. I figure by Tues/Wed.
Rebekah Mercer is an investor. So they should have some support in making it through a cash crunch.
Make sure you are going to just parler.com. There is nothing else past that page yet. So, if your shortcut is set to parler.com/feed or /account, you will get the 404 page.
The far right? You mean, people who support the Constitution?
You mean, people who don't want the New Green Deal?
Or do you mean people who don't watch CNN (spit) because of its communist disinformation?
Up yours, cnn...
Trump is on Telegram.
