Tor Hosting Service — Managed .onion Infrastructure

AnubizHost's Tor hosting service is a fully managed package that covers every layer of the stack. We provision your server, install and configure Tor, set up your web server, generate your .onion address, and handle ongoing security patching and Tor updates. You get a production-ready hidden service without needing to touch a terminal.

Each managed plan includes automated backups encrypted at rest, real-time uptime monitoring via Tor, automatic Tor process recovery, and proactive security updates. When a new Tor vulnerability is disclosed, we patch your service within hours — not days. Our team monitors the Tor Project's security advisories around the clock.

We also provide a Tor-accessible management dashboard where you can view uptime statistics, manage files, restart services, and access logs. Everything is designed to be usable over the Tor Browser, so you never need to expose your management activities to the clearnet.

Our Tor hosting service supports a wide range of legitimate use cases. Investigative news organizations use our platform to run SecureDrop instances where whistleblowers can safely submit documents. Human rights groups operate .onion mirrors of their websites to remain accessible in countries that censor the clearnet.

Privacy-focused businesses choose our service to offer their customers a surveillance-free alternative. Email providers, search engines, cloud storage services, and communication platforms all benefit from having a .onion presence. Major organizations including ProPublica, the BBC, and Facebook have recognized the value of Tor accessibility — and our hosting makes it achievable for smaller organizations too.

Academic researchers studying internet censorship, network security professionals testing anonymity tools, and legal professionals handling sensitive cases also rely on our Tor hosting service. We provide the same enterprise-grade infrastructure to every customer regardless of plan size.

Every Tor hosting service plan includes 24/7 support via encrypted email and Tor-accessible chat. Our support engineers specialize in Tor infrastructure and can diagnose issues specific to hidden services — from descriptor publishing failures to circuit establishment problems — that generic hosting support teams cannot handle.

We maintain a 99.9% uptime guarantee measured by our Tor-based monitoring probes that connect to your .onion address from multiple Tor circuits every five minutes. If your hidden service becomes unreachable, our automated systems attempt recovery immediately while simultaneously alerting our on-call team for manual intervention if needed.

Our incident response process is built for the Tor ecosystem. We communicate over encrypted channels, never request identifying information during troubleshooting, and maintain audit logs that record actions taken without recording who requested them. Your privacy is preserved even when you need help.

Already running a Tor hidden service elsewhere? We handle the entire migration. Provide us with your existing v3 onion private key and site files, and we will replicate your setup on our infrastructure with zero downtime. Your .onion address stays the same, so existing users and bookmarks continue working seamlessly.

For new deployments, our onboarding process walks you through every decision: server sizing, web stack selection, security configuration, and backup scheduling. We provide templates for common setups and can customize any aspect to match your specific requirements. Most new services are fully operational within two hours of signup.

We also offer a staging environment where you can test your hidden service configuration before going live. This lets you verify that your application works correctly over Tor, test your .onion address, and ensure your security settings are correct — all without exposing an incomplete service to the public.
