What are Dedicated Servers?

Dedicated servers are a type of hosting service where a client rents an entire physical server that is exclusively dedicated to their use. This server is not shared with any other customers, providing complete control, high performance, and flexibility to meet specific needs.

Dedicated servers are commonly used for:

  • hosting websites;
  • applications;
  • databases;
  • game servers;
  • other services that require substantial resources or have particular security requirements.

Key Features and benefits of Dedicated Servers:

  1. Exclusive Use: The client has full control over the server and its resources, such as CPU, RAM, and storage. This exclusivity means that performance is not affected by other users, unlike shared hosting environments.
  2. Customizability: Dedicated servers can be customized to meet the specific needs of the client. This includes choosing the type of hardware, operating system, software, and server configuration.
  3. Performance: Since resources are not shared, dedicated servers can handle high traffic and intensive applications more efficiently, offering faster response times and lower latency.
  4. Security: With no other clients sharing the server, dedicated hosting provides a higher level of security. Clients can implement their own security measures, firewalls, and monitoring systems to protect sensitive data.
  5. Reliability: Dedicated servers are less prone to downtime since they aren’t affected by the activities or usage spikes of other users. This makes them a more reliable choice for mission-critical applications.
  6. Full Control and Access: Clients usually receive root or administrative access to the server, allowing them to configure and manage the server environment, install software, and make changes as needed.

What are Offshore dedicated servers?

Offshore dedicated servers are a type of dedicated hosting where the physical server is located in a country different from the client’s home country, usually in a jurisdiction known for its favorable legal framework regarding privacy, freedom of speech, or specific regulatory advantages. The same rules apply to any offshore hosting.

FlokiNET offers a large range of dedicated servers in four different locations:  Finland, Iceland, Romania and Netherlands.

Anonymous web hosting is a type of web hosting service that allows individuals or organizations to host a website without revealing their personal information or identity. The primary focus of anonymous hosting is to maintain privacy and anonymity, both for the website owner and the visitors.

How to host a website anonymously?

If you would prefer to host an anonymous website there are several steps to follow to ensure your identity and the server location are not easily traceable.

1. Choose a Privacy-Focused Hosting Provider

At FLokiNET we focus on keeping you identity anonymous.  We provide autonomous and flexible solutions, optimized to help you spread your ideas!

2. Register an Anonymous Domain

We do not need your personal information to register a domain. All we need is a valid e-mail address to be able to communicate.

3. Use Tor or I2P for Hosting

For maximum anonymity, consider hosting your site as a Tor hidden service (.onion domain) or on the I2P network. Using a TOR browser and our onion address you can place orders keeping you anonymous.

4. Use a VPN or Proxy to Manage Your Server

Always use a reliable VPN, proxy, or both when setting up and managing your server. Preferably use a VPN that doesn’t log user activity and allows payment in cryptocurrencies.

5. Set Up the Server with Privacy in Mind

Use open-source software and tools that prioritize security and privacy.

Regularly update your server to mitigate security vulnerabilities.

6. Anonymous Communication Channels

Avoid using your real email for registering anything. Use anonymous email providers like ProtonMail.

For further anonymity, use encrypted communication apps like Signal or Session for any interaction related to the website.

7. Monitor Your Website’s Privacy Regularly

Regularly audit your server and site for leaks that could expose identifying information.

By following these steps, you can minimize the risk of exposing your identity while hosting a website anonymously.

Benefits of Anonymous Web Hosting:

  • Privacy Protection: Users can host content online without revealing their identity, which is essential for privacy-conscious individuals, journalists, activists, or those living under restrictive regimes.
  • Free Speech: Helps maintain freedom of speech by allowing users to publish content without fear of retaliation or censorship.
  • Security Against Doxxing or Harassment: Protects users from being targeted for their online activities.
  • Avoiding Surveillance: Reduces the risk of surveillance or tracking by governments, corporations, or malicious actors.

Anonymous web hosting is a powerful tool for maintaining privacy and freedom online, especially for those in sensitive situations or with privacy concerns.
