Decentral Host
Decentralized, Anonymous Web Hosting


What it is:

Decentral Host allows you to quickly create and host hidden services on The Onion Router which provides privacy and is protected by our state of the art security and cryptography.

Why We Need It:

People more than ever require access to secure and private hidden services.  They deserve the freedom from being monitored and recorded and freedom from censorship.

Who We Are:

We are a group of privacy advocates and technology professionals who have been working tirelessly for nearly two years to decentralize web hosting technology.

Our Mission:

Decentral Host is dedicated to preserving your right to freedom of expression by providing access to enterprise level security and privacy.  We deliver this service for the same low cost as traditional web hosting.

Watch our Video!

How Privacy is Ensured:

Decentral Host uses The Onion Router to encrypt data and conceal all communication.  We do not require any personal identifiable information to set up an account, and we accept payments in crypto-currencies including Bitcoin.

We Guarantee 100% Uptime:

Decentral Host promises your hosted hidden service will never go down.  Decentral Host operates on a decentralized network of encrypted servers, modeled after Bitcoin's blockchain.  There is no central point of failure - even if one or more servers are lost, the site remains online, hosted from another region of the globe.  As soon as the network notices that one server is down, that server's sites begin to automatically replicate to new servers, literally backing up our guarantee.

How the Network is Secured:

We use many layers of encryption for all transactions, communications, and data storage. This includes communication between servers, storage of all databases, users' sites, access for system maintenance, and backup management.


How We Do It.

Decentral Host is dedicated to preserving each customer's right to freedom of expression by providing access to enterprise-level security and privacy. We deliver this service for a lower cost than traditional web hosting.

Some people are skeptical at first, but Decentral Host's technology is modeled after Bitcoin's blockchain.

Consider this: In the world of paper money, if you lose your wallet, you may never see your money again. If you’re familiar with Bitcoin’s blockchain, you know your money is safe because your bitcoins are accounted for on a public ledger.

Decentral Host guarantees 100% uptime because we modeled our hosting technology after Bitcoin's blockchain. Even if your site's server crashes or the data center loses internet connectivity, your sites are cloned - running simultaneously from hundreds of servers worldwide.

We spent years recoding and redesigning how websites will be hosted, which included a lot of low-level redesigning of the fundemental architecture that allows sites to be hosted.


Questions or Comments?

We will be watching this thread and replying to serious questions, comments or concerns. There are a lot of technical aspects that we are willing to share and explain in detail.

Project Timeline
   

Saturday 2/28/2015 - Launch IndieGoGo Campaign

Wednesday 4/1/2015 - Launch Commercial with key celebrity endorsements

Tuesday 4/28/2015 - Conclude Campaign and PreSales

Monday 6/29/2015 - Estimated Beta Launch Data

Tuesday 9/1/2015 - Estimated End of Beta




Donate

With your help, we will be launching our IndieGoGo Campaign next week to begin purchasing the necessary servers and licenses to push our services global and begin allowing presales and beta-testers to join.

Unfortunately, we ran into a mighty financial road block. Our primary backer fell ill, and we have no means to continue to launch this campaign as immediate expenses must be paid.

In order to continue, we must find $5k by Sunday February 15, 2015 at midnight PST.

In the next week (22nd - 28th), we need to raise another $10k, for a total of $15,000.

This will help us pay for current server fees, renew a business license, and cover minimal living expenses for the 6 of us until the IndieGoGo Campaign has concluded.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.
Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.

Hello everyone,

Here is a quick update; we have been working out a lot of quirks with our website, most of which have been resolved. These primarily involved certain devices, to name Apple iOS and Android OS browsers had difficulty viewing specific site elements.

We have added an About Us page as it is now complete. We thank all who have asked for more info for their patience.

We are continuing to take questions and comments. If anything please ask us what you would like to know, all of the claims we have made are possibly but they involve a lot of technical explanations; because we know the insides and outs of our code it's hard to say which are best to answer without writing a book on the subject.

Are there any safeguards in place to protect DH's customers' hosted content from a potential rogue employee's abuse?

What kind of page load latency are we taking about? Can work for web apps that do sub second updates of content?

Was looking for that kind of project for long now. I'm loving it. I'll take a look at this as I want to create my website and it would be easier to pay with Bitcoins Smiley

Something very shady about this. You guys are asking to help fund into you guys. I have watched you guys for a while now and you guys have not launched yet. With the funds you guys got you should be up and running already.


Also why is it that the main important staff are hiding their faces? CEO, Finance, etc

I just thought I give my 2 cents. I could get into full details but I rather not. What makes your service special than other hosting offering host for btc? There are many doing what you are offering and im sure cheaper as well.
