Ask HN: Hosting for Free-Speech Websites?

5 points by secretcombos ↗ HN
I plan on running an alt-news website that is political in nature, but I'm concerned about growing censorship and deplatforming on the web. If I don't want to host the site myself, where can I get reliable service?

I think we need to move to decentralized platforms. The violent left is growing more nazi by the day.

I've been a long time fan of nearlyfreespeech; if you're not actually overstepping laws they'll probably at least tolerate you.

I've never heard of NearlyFreeSpeech championing a cause or making a stand for anything or anyone. I assume their brand name refers to price, not political/constitutional stance.

The post you linked to literally explains that they're not really a free speech site in any meaningful sense.

I could be happier with it but compare that to the deal you're gonna get anywhere else. "trumpist" hosting sounds like a growth industry, but what will you be allowed to say there?
