(OP) User ID: 72716259 United States 05/02/2019 01:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If your content is in any way controversial or offensive to any determined audience, note that hosts and registrars routinely get asked to take down the content for a variety of reasons, including sabotage, e.g. posting copyrighted content, or inflammatory content, and then reporting it as a violation of Terms of Service. Here is an easy and free way to see if your source IP address that corresponds to your hosting provider is exposed: [link to netobserver.org (secure)] If the IP address is visible and it maps to your actual host, there is not just a DDoS risk, but more importantly anyone can contact the host and file an abuse complaint, and ask others to do the same. It is increasingly common and likely to accelerate further. Also, be aware that even services like CloudFlare are not foolproof. For example, more than 2.6 million CloudFlare customers have known exposed IPs so this is more common than most people realize. BitMitigate.com is stronger for this which is why GodLike.com continues to use it instead of CloudFlare, SiteLock, or other providers. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77597338 United Kingdom 05/02/2019 02:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | An Alexa top-500 site engaged in free speech was told last week to vacate the premises from Digital Ocean, the world's third largest hosting provider. Quoting: Epik Last week, many online pharmacies were taken down in a coordinated take-down. Those using Epik.com were not among them. Some of these sites are now ranked #1 on Google in various categories. As a safeguard against takedowns, Epik's resilient domain service works with any hosting provider and essentially makes the web presence unstoppable while masking the host. Here is the best explanation yet of that product and why it is cool: [link to www.epik.com (secure)] For those not aware, Godlike.com uses Epik's Resilient domain service. GodlikeProductions.com still uses CloudFlare. According to Trinity, new pages are ranking faster on Google on Godlike.com than GodlikeProductions.com. The pages also load faster on Godlike.com. No big deal |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73861640 Was this happening before the 2015 net neutrality rules started? No. I'd say the political climate nowadays is vastly different to how it was back in 2015 though. |
