DNS registrars

[hundredpercent]

Most domain registrars are very bad, and complicit in deplatforming efforts. Most domain registrars also require you to pay by card. Which ones are good?

EraNet/Todaynic.com/Now.top has a good reputation, but I have to pay by card.
DomainDiscount24.com has a good reputation, but I have to pay by card.
Namecheap.com takes Bitcoin, but has shut down free speech before.
njal.la takes Bitcoin and Monero, but has explicitly said they will not host free speech sites.

Both dd24 (through RRProxy) and Todaynic.com have reseller services. Are there any resellers of those that accept cryptocurrency?

Why doesn't https://1776hosting.com or https://cockbox.org sell domains?

Epik, as long as you're not hosting an imageboard because the CEO of Epik is fucking terrified of them.

Jewsh said a domain registrar would cost $75k.

 

[Mediocre]

Who's currently providing domains to 8kun and Dailystormer?

Being a domain registrar proper costs $75k, but being a reseller of an existing domain registrar costs ~$100. This wouldn't make you immune, just like colo with your own ASN isn't a silver bullet, but you're in a much better position than trying to complain to some random registrar because they took your $10/year domain name.

Eranet (AKA todaynic AKA now.top) for 8kun.top and dailystormer.name, r01.ru for dailystormer.su. I'd be fine with being a customer of either, but I can't pay with crypto which is a no-go.

The WHOIS info displays the registrar your reselling so they'll just whinge to them. while an ASN its much harder to find out (i don't think you can find peers publically??). I remember Krebs talking about the Mirai author using NameCentral which was invented by some extremely rich kid to be bulletproof so its not impossible, you just need to find someone with the money.

That's the case if you're located in a colo center too.

Peers are public. AS397702 1776 Hosting, LLC only has one peer, AS53340 VegasNAP, LLC (aka FiberHub). This is all public information, you can go to bgp.he.net and try searching for 1776 Hosting yourself.

Dark peering isn't public, and that's what the real dodgy hosting providers use, but they still need at least one public peer. There are bulletproof domain resellers. I could go with those, but they're very expensive and your opportunities to sue them if they steal your domain name to sell it to their other customers is limited, to say the least.

Namecheap.com takes Bitcoin

That is not exactly true. The payment provider they use for crypto required signup with phone number, photo id, and bank account the last time I considered using Namecheap.

Straight from the horse's mouth. Can't quote it because it's in a PM.

DreamHost deplatformed the Daily Stormer, just like NameCheap.

The Daily Stormer was once a customer of ours - many years ago. We did ask them to take their business elsewhere, again many years ago, as a result of a Terms of Service violation.
Unbeknownst to us, they signed up for domain service with us again yesterday for a domain name that was similar to dailystormer.com. The site owner took advantage of our automated signup form to register a domain name and once again become a DreamHost customer. This activity is specifically forbidden in our Terms of Service.
The opening of multiple accounts or service plans in order to bypass any restrictions or overage charges set forth by DreamHost is grounds for termination of all services. That alone was reason enough for us to disable this account, and we did so today.
Unfortunately, determined internet vigilantes weren’t willing to wait for us to take that action. They instead launched a DDoS attack against all of DreamHost this morning. We were ultimately able to declaw that attack, but the end result was that most of our customers experienced intermittent connectivity issues to their sites today. Services have been fully restored across DreamHost.

EDIT: Also, they don't take Bitcoin:

If you are opening a new account, a credit card must be used.
...
Cryptocurrencies are currently not available for use at DreamHost.

DreamHost deplatformed the Daily Stormer, just like NameCheap.

EDIT: Also, they don't take Bitcoin:

Are you Jared Kushner, Steve Bannon, Weev, or someone else connected with Sheldon Adelson and the Trump campaign? If not, what do you have to worry about?

I thought DreamHost cut Weev's site off because he put some other Jew in New York's details on the WHOIS, and the second Jew said he didn't have anything to do with it. I might be confusing that with some other kayfabe he was doing though.

 

[Inventor of the Telephone]

has explicitly said they will not host free speech sites.

That's disappointing.

As long as you keep within the boundaries of reasonable law and you're not a right-wing extremist, we’re for promoting your freedom of speech, your political weird thinking, your kinky forums and whatever.

Goddamn Swedes.

If not, what do you have to worry about?

Do you think the targeting, deplatforming, and outright stalking by lunatics inside various tech firms are going to increase or decrease over the coming decade? Do you realistic foresee any de-escalation of the current societal craziness? We have not begun to reach peak clown world. Anyone not vocally aligning with the craziest of crazies are going to [contintue to] be fair game for social justice predators. There has never been a greater need for relative anonymity on the internet.
