Now that Amazon Web Services has shut down Parler, will the social network rebuild elsewhere? Parler CEO John Matze says Parler will be back with "many competing for our business."
Don't bet on it. There appears to be no major public cloud or hosting company willing to give Parler a home. But, even if there were, Parler would find it almost impossible to return anytime soon. Parler will need to build its own infrastructure.

The idiot author doesn’t know what he’s saying.
They only used AWS from the front end web servers.
Set up new front ends and off you go.
Surely there’s a computer company somewhere that is not controlled by the Far Left. What about the one that hosts this site?
The lawsuits are coming. Danbongino.com
Parler should hire some of the really good peer to peer sharing network software programmers, and let users host parler on a shared P2P software platform the same way that torrents worked. No one person holds any specific contiguous segments of data, and many people redundantly hold many copies.
ZDNet where people write about technology but don’t do technology. It is not rocket science to stand up your own infrastructure. It takes money. It takes people. Unless vendors won’t sell the hardware or install the internet pipe, it is completely doable.
They should go after billions from lost market cap plus treble damages from anti-trust. They need a large payout to stop this kind of thing.
That reads like it’s written by a big data center snob.
Epic has agreed to host Parler.
They are still working through the initial requirements, but that’s step 1.
They have a model.
Duplicating it might take some time, but I believe they will be back sooner than later.
It’s not a wedding cake. They will deny you sales.
Another example of the Left celebrating prematurely. Twitter is going to lose at least half of its business. Amazon pulling this stunt is going to cause millions more who never even heard of Parler to leave Twitter. If people have any sense at all they will dump their investments in “woke” companies.
I think Epik is the Registrar.
Surely there’s a computer company somewhere that is not controlled by the Far Left.

There is one, and it’s one of the biggest, Oracle. They won the Tik Tok U.S. hosting contract and you can bet the patriot CEO Larry Ellison will be at least one company that will support Parler and others.
Larry is cia, that’s one of the reasons they got the tik tok deal.
Sorry, in post-Great Reset America, unless they have been pre-approved by the global government, nobody has standing anywhere in front of a judge.
I was thinking that too, but if Oracle agreed we would have known by now. Maybe news hasn’t reached Larry in his island.
Now that Amazon has shut down Parler’s servers and taking Parler offline, Amazon has violated Free Speech.
I would avoid buying from them, you can find the same products elsewhere.
I’ve rarely bought anything from Amazon because of the illegal way they have run small competitors out of business for years - Jeff Bezos is a scumbag.
Vote with your wallets, there are 80 million of us
Were they using AWS in hybrid mode? They have on-prem servers for their backends?
I _highly_ doubt that it would scale ;-)
ZDNet where people write about technology but don't do technology.
Fact check: the ZDNet brand has some active technologists in their stable. Yes, ZDNet uses writers, but that's not all many of ZDNet's contributors do.
Now, let's be real. Standing up your own infrastructure is not all that rocket science. Standing up an infrastructure that can scale to the level of Parler is difficult, and expensive, and tricky. Especially when you consider how easy it is for opponents to purchase gigabit-level DDoS services.
I've seen some blog contributions that suggest the Parler is not as free of taint as some might think. Nothing proven yet, but I'm waiting for opposition research to do its thing.
Distributed Social Networks are what we’re going to end up having to use. I don’t think the left is going to stop trying to silence us. They’ll start labeling conservative website owners as terrorists and send the FBI in to snatch servers.
