This really should get admins thinking about how resistant to deplatforming we are here though. Who they're hosting with, who their name registrar is and if they'll fold at the first mention of the fact people here cheer violence against landlords and deny US atrocity propaganda re:China as well as the fact we're anti-US communists in here. I would really try and prioritize incorporating through an offshore company or otherwise obfuscating links between whoever is point of contact legally speaking for this website and the website. Because outside of that, well they could get an angry visit from the feds trying to intimidate them or worse.
I wouldn't say we need bulletproof hosting, but something bullet-resistant wouldn't hurt, e.g. incorporation outside the legal jurisdiction of the US and her pawn nations (Eyes countries are right out), registrar outside the US and same. Hosting is trickier given latency with overseas but you can move hosting easier than you can move names and there are companies that care less if the feds come raging and crying to their door than others.
Last update we had from Beatnik is that we're hosting outside of the US and Five Eyes, but in a Fourteen Eyes country (France), and that there's a regular backup to somewhere outside of Fourteen Eyes country (not disclosed).
So if a three letter agency wanted to take us out they'd have to go through a lot of inconvenient channels and we'd probably be back up in a few hours.
France is fairly notorious for being somewhat stubborn with complying with the US and having somewhat stricter laws so that's better than most 14 eyes countries. Most US legal requests are invalid for entities outside the US so they'd probably drop the process at the point they discover where the hosting is.
