Amid Big Tech fight, web hosting company gives conservatives a cancel-proof alternative

RightForge says it operates with an ideological commitment to free speech

As conservatives look to fight back against what they see as an ideologically driven censorship push by Big Tech, one company is looking to make the building blocks of the Internet cancel-proof – giving conservatives more solid footing online.

RightForge is an internet infrastructure company providing server space and web hosting, with what it describes as an ideological commitment to free speech, and it is offering a platform that caters to conservative outlets, campaigns and others who fear they could be canceled by Big Tech.

"We are absolutely ideological," CEO Martin Avila told Fox News in an interview. "What we saw here was the need to have the internet, because it was created in America, carry with it as part of its principles American values, American ideology – that’s our ideology. We believe that the American framework, the core ideas enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution incubated the internet."

Conservatives have been sounding the alarm on what they see as a crackdown against them by Big Tech companies like Amazon, Apple, Google, Twitter and Facebook. They point to the shutting down of former President Donald Trump and the Twitter blocking of the Hunter Biden laptop story as two prominent examples.

It won’t work.
Faux has now told the world about it and the Obama Machine will attack and destroy it.
The only thing that will work is something similar to what Big Mike Obama setup back in 2010.

A private internet hidden beneath the existing internet.
I figured out how they did it a month ago.

They still rely on the internet harness, all of which is owned and operated by “woke” entities.

For example, ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, is run by denizens of the woke cult. They decide whether your URL domain can even exist.

Zathras said, but ... no-one ever listens to Zathras. Quite mad, they say. It is good that Zathras does not mind. He’s even grown to like it. Oh yes.

Nonsense.
Plenty of news organizations have written about Rightforge long before Fox did, and Rightforge is doing very well thank you.

Absolutely... Won’t be long and they will be using ICANN as a tool. And local ISPs will be blocking access through their system to certain Domains.

Which “woke entity” owns ICANN then?
And if they are so all powerful, how come millions of conservative sites happily exist and operate worldwide? Do you even know how the internet works?

Are you using it? I researched it this morning and there are a lot of question marks. Like what tools do they have available? CPanel? What Version of PHP? Etc. They are pushing Wordpress like crazy. Hate Wordpress... Insecure as hell.

And honestly, their “Packages” are not competitively priced compared to what is available everywhere else as a standard.

They are stepping on their own toes with their package pricing... Too bad... They are letting greed run off customers. For less than $30 dollars a month I can get unlimited visitors and disk space. So even their $40 a month plan is a rip off compared to most other providers.

I am a domain owner, and have gone rounds with ICANN personally several times. And I have read their legal statements.

I have the direct email addresses of the top dogs.

There are several avenues they can use to “twist the situation” into a violation, such as claim your domain has been abandoned even though it wasn’t. Been there...

And they have made it so hard to fix it that it is near impossible.

There is no cancel-proof alternative. There are only multiple backup strategies. Amazon or Google will soon buy out RightForge.

The bottom line being there are hundreds of thousands of conservative web sites and outfits that have been
happily online for decades.
Its silly to suggest that a conservative web hosting outfit will go out of business when there is already conservative Wikipedia, a conservative GoFundMe, conservative Facebook and conservative everything else and have been for decades.

“Which “woke entity” owns ICANN then?”

GOOGLE owns ICANN. You can’t even use full functions and forms on the ICANN site without allowing all hidden Google 3rd party tracking APIs and Recaptcha tracking.

And that is one of the things I went rounds with them about. It is a HUGE conflict of interest. They can absolutely maintain that site in house without any 3rd parties or 3rd party APIs.

If there is anything that should be completely independent from all other entities it is ICANN.

We ain’t in Kansas anymore... Things are changing fast now. It is no longer a question of if, it is now a question of when.

Trust me... It is coming.
