Anonymous and offshore web hosting

Anonymous web hosting, often sold as offshore hosting, means a host that lets you publish a site without handing over your name and address, and lets you pay without a card. Journalists, activists and small publishers use it to keep their home address out of billing records.

A host’s jurisdiction and content policy decide how it reacts to a complaint. This page compares those alongside sign-up data, payment options and how long each provider has been operating.
