How to host a completely anonymous website

Posting information on the Internet has always been thought of as something you do totally hidden from everyone and anyone, but this could not be further from the truth. Any organization, governmental or otherwise, can track you down without much effort and it is almost impossible to be completely anonymous! Well, almost...

If you want to share information on a web page (like HTML), you need a website to host your web pages. For people to find your website you need a domain name, and both of these cost money and you usually pay for it with your credit card. Registering and paying for domain names and hosting services without a credit card or any other type of payment without giving your identity away has, up to this point, been nearly impossible. But during the last 6 months (day of writing is April 26 2011) a new way for total anonymity has opened in the form of a new currency called Bitcoin!



Bitcoin is a new digital and decentralized currency based on cryptography and peer-to-peer computing. There is no central authority controlling the currency and sending Bitcoins is fast (seconds) and cheap (free)! There has sprung up an ever increasing number of online vendors of goods and services that accept Bitcoins as a currency, many of them accept only Bitcoins while for others Bitcoin is just one method of payment among many, Paypal etc.


You can get Bitcoins in three ways:

  • Sell things for Bitcoins
  • Exchange dollars, euros etc for Bitcoin
  • Mine bitcoins
It is actually possible to "earn" your own Bitcoins using only your computer. You can install a special piece of software on your computer to start mining for Bitcoins, find out more about the technique behind this revolutionary concept at www.bitcoin.org, and depending on your computers hardware, CPU and/or Graphics card, you should start earning a small amount of Bitcoins.

If you don't fancy using your computer 24/7 for mining Bitcoins you can choose to go to an exchange site and exchange a few dollars/euros for Bitcoins. The most popular exchnage site at the moment is Mt. Gox but there are many others.

Now, what does all this have to do with hosting an anonymous website??? Perhaps you have already figured it out but here is the simple explanation:

1. Bitcoins are anonymous.
2. There are hosting services that accept Bitcoins
3. ???
4. Profit!

So by using bitcoins you can register a domain and purchase hosting withour giving up your real name or even a credit card number. It really is that simple!

Please visit Sites that accept bitcoin for a large list of places where you can spend Bitcoins. For your anonymous domain hosting needs I recommend Kalyhost.com.

Be safe!
