Anonymous Web Hosting

If anonymous web browsing is about reading the World Wide Web, anonymous web hosting is about speaking to the World Wide Web. Did you know that all website owners are mandated to reveal their personal and contact information to the online public? This law is passed in order to systematize and monitor the identities of domain owners and to ensure that they can be reached for security, political, and investigative reasons.

In typical web hosting, people can easily search for the name, address, email address, and phone numbers of website owners through a simple WHOIS search. Considering the project of the law, there seems to be nothing wrong with free access to the personal information of these website owners. What is overlooked here however is that these website owners are individuals too, and can be victimized by parties who earn a living by exploiting information in various ways.

Through anonymous web hosting, website owners are given the chance to hide their personal information from the online public. What anonymous web hosting websites do is to conceal any direct information about their clients and instead give a central contact information through which parties can communicate with the site owners. When inquiring parties are proven to have clean intent, that’s the only time when personal and contact information will be revealed. Through anonymous web hosting, website owners are saved from the burden of receiving tons of junk mails, prank calls, aggressive product offerings, and many worse forms of stalking.
