AboutA hosting company, run by people who do not publish their names.
That sentence is either a warning or the entire product, depending on what you are here for. Either way it deserves an explanation rather than a stock photograph of a team, so this page is what we withhold, why, and everything else you can check without trusting a word of it.
The obvious question
Why there are no faces on this page.
Every hosting site has a team section. Ours would be the weakest possible argument for what we sell — a company whose staff can be named individually is a company whose staff can be approached individually.
Deliberately not published
What we withhold
- Names and photographs of the people who run it
- Which individual holds which key
- The street address of any facility
- Which carriers are in which building
- Anything that identifies a customer, ever
On a public register, or signed
What we do publish
- 8 companies, each on its country’s register
- Where to serve legal process on each
- A transparency record every quarter since 2019
- A warrant canary, signed, with a block hash
- An uptime log that is arithmetic, not a claim
The distinction is not privacy for us and transparency for you. It is that a name is leverage and a register entry is accountability — the first can be pressured, and the second cannot be quietly withdrawn. A company you can sue is worth more to you than a founder you can look up, and the second one costs the first one its usefulness.
Without trusting us
Four things you can check yourself.
Marketing copy is free to write. These are not: each one is a claim that fails visibly and publicly if it is false, which is the only kind worth putting on a page like this.

01
Public registers
The companies exist and can be sued
Each entity is on the register of its own country under the name below. That is what makes an order against us meaningful — and it is the part an operator hiding behind a brand cannot produce.

gpg --verify
The canary carries a real signature
Signed with a published key and anchored to a Bitcoin block, so the date cannot have been faked forward. It fails loudly in your own terminal if anything has been altered.

03
Your own machine
The network is where we say it is
Measure the path yourself from the looking glass. We publish no latency table, because a figure we invented is the first thing here anybody could disprove.

Developer tools
This site tracks nobody
Open the network tab. No analytics, no third-party request of any kind, and no cookie at all until you sign in. That one takes ten seconds.
The eight companies
Separate legal entities, not branch offices. An order that succeeds against one has no automatic effect on the others, and that separation is the product rather than a formality.

- The hardware
- Bought, not rented We own the machines and the network equipment. Space, power and transit are contracted from carrier-neutral facilities, which is how every host works — the difference is whether the box your data sits on belongs to the company you are paying.
- Not a reseller
- No white-labelled anything There is no upstream provider between you and us who could take your service down without our agreement, and no third party holding a management path into it. That last point is one of the statements the canary renews.
- The people
- Small, and answering directly Abuse reports, migrations and console requests reach engineers rather than a first-line queue. A company this size cannot pretend to be larger without you noticing within one support conversation.
- Funded by customers
- No investors to answer to Nobody holds a board seat who could require a change to the content policy or a KYC programme. Growth is slower this way. It is also the reason the two prohibitions are still two.
- Paid in crypto only
- Eight assets, no processor A card processor would hold a veto over what we host and would require an identity from you. Both are set out on the payments page.
- Since 2019
- 7 years, 17,218 notices, zero removed on one The whole series is published quarterly, including the quarters that were unflattering. That record is the only meaningful answer to “how do we know you will not fold on the first complaint”.
What people actually ask.
Are you an offshore shell operation?
The companies are real, registered and taxed where they sit, and the hardware is owned by them. What is deliberately absent is a public list of the individuals behind them — and that is a different thing from a shell. A shell exists to make liability disappear; these entities exist so that liability lands in eight separate places instead of one, which is a benefit to you rather than to us.
How do I know you will not disappear with my balance?
You do not, and no hosting company can prove that in advance. What you can do is not prepay more than you are comfortable losing: the minimum top-up is thirty dollars, monthly billing is available on everything, and the longer cycles are discounted rather than compulsory. A provider pushing you towards a two-year prepayment before you have tested them is telling you something.
Who is legally responsible if something goes wrong?
The entity that operates the region your service is in, named on the table above and on the register of its own country. That is the party you contract with, the party you would sue, and the party legal process has to be served on. It is a considerably more useful answer than a founder's name.
Why should I believe the transparency report?
Partly because of what it does not say. A fabricated report would not show quarters where requests were met and something was produced — it would show zero everywhere, which is the shape of a number written by marketing. And the one figure most worth faking, orders arriving with a gag, is the one anchored to a signed canary that fails publicly if it stops being renewed.
Do you work with law enforcement?
We answer valid orders from courts with jurisdiction over the entity served, and we say so plainly rather than posturing about it. The reason so little comes out of that is not defiance — it is that there is very little to produce. The complete inventory is published and it is short.
What happens if one country turns hostile?
That region is affected and the other seven are not, which is the entire reason the estate is arranged as separate companies rather than branches. Moving a service between regions is one API call, and customers in an affected jurisdiction would be told before they read about it.
