TLD: .is (pricey, but not expensive). Registration at inwx (seems competent, nice interface). DNS at either inwx or ______ (I haven't been able to find an EEA/Switzerland DNS provider). Hosting at OVH (cheap, IP failover, often used for torrents) or Leaseweb (used by some torrent sites, not quite as cheap as OVH).

This assumes that your content is only somewhat controversial. For worse: TLD .is, Hosting at PRQ (hosts NAMBLA, AnonTalk, …), no idea which registrar I'd use.

If people are actively trying to kill you because of what you want to publish, your only options are PRQ or NearlyFreeSpeech. Both can be fully anonymous, i.e. they will host your content without knowing who you are. Payment would be somewhat hard (I wonder whether they would accept mailed-in, sterile bills (though these could be traced)).




I was thinking, one could use switch.ch as a DNS. They claim to be based in Zurich, but seem to have an emphasis on educational sites.


They are actually based in Zürich (I take the tram past their building each day). I don't think they do DNS though. They don't just do educational domains, though they do focus on that domain (no pun intended).


switch.ch registers domains, but I couldn't find a reference to them offering DNS. They also have steep prices and a very limited selection of TLDs.


Steep prices shouldn't deter anyone who's looking to build a takedown-proof site.

http://www.silentregister.com/ is a viable option.


NearlyFreeSpeech tos state that you can not host content that is illegal in US.


Very interesting options, thanks!
