What should I choose you over anyone else?
This is where I usually ramble on, but to put it plainly: We respect your privacy and wish to normalize privacy for the masses. We sponsor a handful of privacy related projects ( Some can be viewed here: https://incognet.io/privacyprojects ).
We don't require Personal Identifiable Information because we don't need it. We're not going to write you a handwritten letter on your birthday or give you a phone call on Christmas. We don't want that information. Companies as big as Google, Facebook, T-mobile and more have all suffered breaches where your information is made public. Hosting providers, big and small, have suffered similar situations. Do you even know how many people have access to your private information? How many hosting providers do you do business with? How many employees or staff, outsourced or in-house can review your data?
With us, you can register with an alias and any email address of your choosing. Our unofficial motto is, "We can't share what we do not know" and that's something we think is important in this day and age. We have a strong commitment for supporting and promoting privacy and believe freedom of expression is a right that should be available to everyone.
Company Roadmap / Future Plans
We're currently testing a Dallas, TX based provider and hope to offer KVM Virtual Servers out of Texas as well as our Shared Hosting service by the end of the year.
Due to major IPv4 price increase via Hetzner, we're looking for a new upstream in Finland. Existing stock in Finland is limited only to larger plans as a result. We'll be seeking a DC where we can colocate owned gear directly. No ETA on this.
We'll be adding Yggdrasil Network mirroring as part of the opt-in offering to have shared hosting websites mirrored through Tor and I2P. I've done some limited testing and it works, but want to test it more.
Updates to our anycast DNS over Tor setup that the VPN network uses. This is to increase the capacity and capability of the setup.
Domain names with built-in DNS management through WHMCS. Private registration with DNS management under one roof. ETA, end of year.
Comments
To kick off the contest:
What do you think about the future of online privacy?
It's a vague question with the intention of encouraging some discussion. Let's see what you all come up with.
Online privacy is already a huge pain in the ass - any attempt to not be covered in marketing, ads, and spam gets you banned. Turning on Firefox's resistFingerprinting blocks you from most major sites, and virtually all big merchants will flag you for fraud simply for doing this.
I really fucking hate that I can't buy from target or walmart with adblock on (easyprivacy list), because it blocks their extremely abusive trackers that fingerprint you, port scan your network, try to load flash, vlc, and enumerate plugins.
It's probably only going to get worse, especially since an ad company controls the vast majority of the browser world. I don't care so much if you're strictly processing my stuff for business purposes, but this is clearly not business purposes. If you buy a ticket from ticketmaster, or a used item from dailysteals, your data gets sent to hundreds of third parties on the final checkout/confirmation page purely for ad purposes. There's no opt out.
Briefly, I think the future of online privacy is in serious jeopardy. We basically have none now, as everyone's every online actions are being tracked all the time.
I'm happy to see some true potato KVM's around (under 256MB). I might buy one to idle.
Most people wwwaaayyy overestimate their needs. For those who know you don't need a 2GB box to run a LEMP stack or Wireguard, they're the perfect match.
You're right, that's why I'm glad to see some true potato KVM offerings. It's hard to find a KVM under 512MB these days. The kernel doesn't use that much RAM...
What online privacy? Haven seen that since the late 90s...
All your communication will be secure and remain private between you, the person/service you're connecting to, and the NSA. Just how god intended.
Considering what all was revealed in the Snowden days, makes you wonder what their capabilities are now.
The majority of people do not care about online privacy much, they are completely fine with being tracked. For them the future is fine as they literally have "nothing to hide" on the Internet. But if you aren't one of those people, you should probably prepare for the worst. It's possible that in the future no one will be able to get any online privacy whatsoever... Today users who want it hard enough still can have at least some level of online privacy. Privacy isn't an absolute state, it's a degree.
Privacy doesn't exist online. You could use Qubes+Whonix but at the end of the day, you're still entrusting your data with a Tor exit operator or a VPN provider and your data is only as cryptographically secure as the protocol it was originally being sent over. Security, is another matter.
It all depends on your needs. If you don't do illegal things, you probably have no reason to be completely private (or even anonymous) on the Internet. But it doesn't mean that you want to be tracked. It's not all or nothing IMHO.
future of online privacy is going to be split in two:
Those who want privacy will use special operating systems, apps, things like tor. And the ly are going to get their privacy.
And those who simply don't care. They won't have to get or use anything special.
I have some cryptocurrencies, such as BTC, ETH, XMR.
I used eth to recharge porkbun for the first time.
But their prices are too unstable. After one or two months of payment, eth price has doubled.
If the transaction fee is reduced, I would be happy to use cryptocurrency.
Exactly. At the end of the day it's all about risk assessment. Are you trying to stay anonymous online because you don't want to feed useful data to algorithms that exist to help developers increase your engagement on social media or to increase advertising relevancy? Are you wanting to stay private because you're at work, and you're goofing off online instead of working on that report? Are you some dude who posts spicy political memes? Or an activist who is fed up and wanting to organize an event? A journalist with a hot-source who is ready to spill something big? A citizen of a government who assigns a rank/score to your worth?
There are a ton of reasons why someone may want to be anonymous online, and not all have to do with anything criminal.
Network fees or fees placed by the crypto merchant account that the providers use? We also accept off-the-record crypto payments for those who request it, but it'd likely turn into some sort of a bookkeeping nightmare if we did it for everyone.
Online privacy is a myth
There is no privacy - imagine publicly posting your order/invoice numbers for double bandwidth that you will never use. Oh wait /s
Your privacy has been doubled.
which is why this is one of the few that offer same deal: "Just contact our sales team or respond to this thread with your order ID" if you do not post your order id
i'm not customer but i do appreciate that you allow the option to just submit a ticket instead of publicly posting it
The purpose of other providers asking for invoice or customer ID in public is to bump their sales thread. I figured it'd be better to ask for discussion instead.
Plus you can determine sales numbers and growth, to a degree, from such info... and quite frankly thats no ones business.
Some might say, it is private information.
extreme conspiracy theory time
man dude is asking for discussion here and doubling your chances of winning if you provide invoice id so that they can worry less about not asking for personal information and troublesome customers, because they can just see if you are a terrible poster on LET and constantly asking for warez and pirated windows and can fire you as a bad customer
Everyone collects too much information just because they can and it’s the done thing. Providers here and in the industry in general are just guilty as the big data guzzlers, just indirectly so.
I mean why are most providers collecting phone numbers? I’ve never once received a call from a provider. 90% of the time it’s because it’s on the WHMCS/billing system form. At no point have they analysed what data they require and can justify it.
Personally, as a provider, I’d look at the minimum data set that can be collected to achieve what is required by law. That way I minimise the risk of personal data being leaked, and I reduce compliance costs. 🤷♂️
That's just the ivermectin talking. 🐴
Ahem... Boomer-...
Online privacy is like the American dream.
I feel that most people do not care about privacy
This is the information we require during user registration. This screenshot is from our portal:
As far as fraudulent charges go, we only accept crypto and PayPal / cards through PayPal and PayPal has their own systems in place to protect against fraud. I don't really see a need or a point to collect anything else. I already get complaints because of the email requirement, but until WHMCS can reliably send you Jabber/XMPP/I2PChat/ZeroMail/obscure-thing-no-one-uses-often notifications to let you know you have a due invoice or something then that feature is sort of going to stick. Can always use a throwaway. I don't consider email to be PII since you can create one in many different places without PII verification.
Online privacy cannot be assured.
Most users do not have the capability to understand the crypto protocols and their implementations.
They look for the buzzword "end to end encryption" without thinking about how the keys were generated and distributed.
They get the impression of privacy, not real privacy.
