Hacktivist collective Anonymous claims to have obtained gigabytes of data from Epik, which provides domain name, hosting, and DNS services for a variety of clients. These include the Texas GOP, Gab, Parler, and 8chan, among other right-wing sites. The stolen data has been released as a torrent. The hacktivist collective says that the data set, which is over 180GB in size, contains a “decade’s worth of data from the company.”

Anonymous says the data set is “all that’s needed to trace actual ownership and management of the fascist side of the Internet that has eluded researchers, activists, and, well, just about everybody.” If this information is correct, Epik’s customers’ data and identities could now fall into the hands of activists,…

Every time you launch a new website, information about things like your domain name registrar and hosting provider are made publicly available. In many cases, resourceful (and sometimes malicious) third parties can access this and a range of more personal data, which can cause privacy and security issues.  

Fortunately, the best anonymous hosting solutions are designed to help you protect your privacy. As long as you use a reliable anonymous hosting service, you shouldn’t have to provide any personal or identifying information. Sign up with a pseudonym and/or email address, and pay with an anonymous payment method, to really reduce the risk of any privacy breaches. 

If you’ve ever thought about keeping your web host’s IP and domain information away from prying eyes, you were not the only one to have had those thoughts. With the number of ways one can find out who is hosting a website – WHOIS (domain registration record), payment methods used, IP addresses, plugins and, the most common of all, email addresses- how do you keep your data anonymous?

Anonymous hosting allows you to register under a pseudonym and doesn’t require you to provide a postal address when you register your domain. As payment methods often require registration where names and addresses need to match, anonymous hosting offers prepaid options so that none are linked. Prepaid options let you pay anonymously, keeping your data secure.
