.onion Hosting - Anonymous Website Hosting on the Tor Network

An .onion website gives your audience a way to access your content without exposing their identity or location. For readers of independent journalism, users of privacy tools, or citizens in countries with internet censorship, a .onion address can be the difference between access and silence. Hosting on the Tor network is a statement that you value your visitors' privacy.

Beyond privacy, .onion sites offer technical advantages. They provide end-to-end encryption by default without needing a certificate authority. They are immune to DNS-based censorship and seizure. And because the Tor protocol handles routing, you do not need a public IP address or domain registrar - eliminating two common points of failure and surveillance.

Organizations of all sizes are adopting .onion addresses. News outlets offer Tor mirrors for readers in restricted countries. Secure communication tools provide .onion endpoints for metadata-resistant access. Privacy-focused companies host their entire service on Tor. AnubizHost makes this accessible to everyone with affordable, reliable onion hosting.

Our onion hosting plans include everything you need to run a professional .onion website. You get a v3 onion address generated at provisioning, a pre-configured web server optimized for Tor traffic, NVMe SSD storage, and SSH access exclusively over Tor. Control panel access is available through our own .onion management portal.

Automated daily backups are encrypted with your public key so only you can decrypt them. We provide one-click restore functionality through the control panel, and backups are stored on separate infrastructure from your live server. You can also download encrypted backups to your own storage for additional redundancy.

Resource monitoring is available in real time through the dashboard. Track CPU usage, memory consumption, storage utilization, and Tor circuit statistics. Set custom alerts for resource thresholds so you know when it is time to upgrade your plan before performance degrades.

The primary complaint about .onion sites is speed. AnubizHost addresses this at every layer. Our servers use NVMe SSDs that deliver read speeds exceeding 3,000 MB/s, eliminating storage as a bottleneck. Generous RAM allocations allow your web server and application to stay fully cached in memory, reducing response times to milliseconds.

We tune Tor configuration parameters for hidden service performance, including optimized RendPostPeriod settings that keep your service descriptors fresh across the distributed hash table. We also configure multiple introduction points and enable vanguard protections, which improve both reliability and resistance to targeted denial-of-service attacks against your .onion address.

Our network infrastructure provides high-bandwidth connectivity with low latency to major Tor relay clusters. This reduces the time needed to establish circuits to your hidden service. Combined with HTTP/2 support, content compression, and aggressive caching headers, your .onion site loads noticeably faster than most hidden services on the network.

AnubizHost operates under a strict no-logging policy that covers all onion hosting services. We do not log connection metadata, traffic volumes, access times, or any information that could be used to identify you or your visitors. Our servers are configured to minimize forensic artifacts, with temporary files stored in RAM-backed filesystems that are cleared on reboot.

We are incorporated in a jurisdiction with strong privacy laws that require judicial authorization for data requests. We do not comply with informal demands or requests from foreign governments that have not gone through proper legal channels. Our legal team reviews every request and challenges those that are overbroad or lack proper authority.

Payment processing is entirely cryptocurrency-based for onion hosting plans. We accept Bitcoin, Monero, Litecoin, and Ethereum. Monero is recommended for maximum payment privacy as it provides built-in transaction obfuscation. We never link payment records to service instances in our systems, maintaining a strict separation between billing and infrastructure.
