Buy Onion Hosting — Your .onion Website, Our Infrastructure

Onion hosting refers to hosting websites accessible through the Tor network via .onion addresses. Unlike clearnet websites that expose the server's IP address, onion sites operate as Tor hidden services where both the server and the visitor remain anonymous. The server's location and identity are concealed by the Tor protocol.

Onion hosting is used by journalists publishing sensitive material, whistleblowing platforms, privacy-focused services, research projects, and anyone who needs to operate a website without revealing the server's physical location. Major organizations including The New York Times, BBC, Facebook, and DuckDuckGo maintain .onion versions of their sites.

AnubizHost onion hosting provides the server infrastructure to run .onion websites with the performance, reliability, and privacy that these sensitive use cases demand. Our servers are pre-configured for Tor hidden services, reducing setup time from hours to minutes.

When you buy onion hosting from AnubizHost, your server arrives with the Tor daemon installed, configured, and running. The hidden service directory is set up, and your unique v3 .onion address is generated on first boot. You do not need to be a Tor expert to get your onion site online.

Point your web server (Nginx or Apache) to listen on localhost, place your website files in the document root, and your .onion site is live. For dynamic sites running WordPress, a Node.js application, or a Python framework, the setup process is identical to clearnet hosting — with the addition of Tor routing handled transparently by the pre-configured daemon.

Step-by-step documentation covers common onion hosting scenarios. If you get stuck, our support team has hands-on experience with Tor hidden service configuration and can help resolve issues quickly. Onion hosting should not require a PhD in network anonymity — we make it accessible.

Running an onion site has unique security requirements beyond standard web hosting. Server hardening must prevent information leaks that could deanonymize the hidden service. AnubizHost pre-configures security measures including disabled IPv6 (which can leak in some configurations), locked-down DNS resolution, and strict firewall rules that prevent accidental clearnet exposure.

Application-level security is equally important. We recommend disabling server headers that reveal software versions, using security-focused web server configurations, and implementing content security policies that prevent mixed-content requests to clearnet resources. Our documentation covers these best practices in detail.

For high-security deployments, consider our Tor hosting plans with full-disk encryption. Even if the physical server is seized, encrypted storage protects your website data and Tor hidden service keys. Combined with Monero payment and no-KYC signup, your onion site maintains anonymity at every layer.

Onion hosting plans start at $19/mo for 1 core, 1 GB RAM, 25 GB NVMe, and 2 TB bandwidth. This is sufficient for most onion sites with moderate traffic. The $35/mo plan with 2 cores, 4 GB RAM, and 60 GB NVMe handles busier sites and dynamic applications comfortably.

High-traffic onion sites and platforms with many concurrent users should consider our 4-core and 8-core plans. Tor connections consume more server resources than clearnet connections due to encryption overhead and circuit management. Sizing up ensures your visitors experience responsive page loads even during peak traffic.

All onion hosting plans include Tor pre-configuration, NVMe SSD storage, DDoS protection, and no-KYC crypto payment. Monero is recommended for maximum anonymity, but Bitcoin and 50+ other cryptocurrencies are accepted. Buy your onion hosting today and have your .onion site live within the hour.
