Managed Tor Hosting — We Handle Everything

Managed Tor hosting means our engineering team takes responsibility for every layer of your infrastructure below the application level. We manage the operating system, web server, database server, Tor configuration, firewall rules, SSL certificates, backups, and monitoring. You manage your website files, application code, and content.

Our management includes proactive maintenance, not just reactive support. We apply security patches within hours of release, rotate Tor identity keys on a recommended schedule, tune web server configuration based on your traffic patterns, and optimize database performance. These tasks happen continuously without you needing to request them.

Every managed hosting customer has a dedicated configuration profile that documents their specific setup, preferences, and requirements. When our team performs maintenance or responds to an incident, they have full context about your environment. This eliminates the back-and-forth that wastes time with generic support teams.

Security is the most critical aspect of managed Tor hosting. Our team monitors security advisories from the Tor Project, operating system vendors, and the broader security community. When a vulnerability is disclosed that affects your stack, we assess the impact, test the patch in our staging environment, and deploy it to your server — often before you are even aware of the issue.

We conduct monthly security reviews of every managed server. These reviews check for configuration drift, unnecessary services, stale credentials, outdated software, and newly discovered vulnerabilities in your application dependencies. You receive a summary report after each review with any findings and actions taken.

Intrusion detection runs continuously on managed servers. File integrity monitoring detects unauthorized changes to system files, Tor configuration, and web server settings. Network monitoring watches for unusual traffic patterns that could indicate a compromise or an ongoing attack. Alerts trigger immediate investigation by our on-call security team.

Our monitoring infrastructure checks your .onion service from multiple Tor circuits every three minutes. We measure response time, verify content integrity, and test SSL certificate validity. If any check fails, our automated system attempts Tor process restart and web server recovery before escalating to a human engineer.

Incident response follows a documented playbook customized for Tor hosting. When an issue is detected, our team triages severity, communicates via your preferred encrypted channel, and works to restore service. Post-incident, you receive a detailed report explaining what happened, what was done, and what measures prevent recurrence.

Historical monitoring data is available through your dashboard. View uptime percentages, response time trends, and resource utilization graphs over custom time periods. This data helps you plan capacity, identify performance bottlenecks, and demonstrate availability to your stakeholders — all without exposing any identifying information.

Our managed Tor hosting plans start at $35/mo, which includes the base server resources plus full management services. This is only $20 more than our unmanaged equivalent, and it covers unlimited management requests, 24/7 monitoring, proactive patching, and priority support. For most customers, the time saved vastly exceeds the cost difference.

Enterprise managed plans include additional services such as custom firewall rules, application-level monitoring, database optimization, compliance documentation, and quarterly security assessments. These plans start at $95/mo and include a dedicated account engineer who knows your infrastructure intimately.

All managed plans include our SLA guarantee: 99.9% uptime for the infrastructure we manage, with service credits for any downtime exceeding the guarantee. This SLA covers Tor reachability, web server availability, and management panel access. We put our commitment in writing because we are confident in our infrastructure and our team.
