Comments
I’ve used IncogNet for quite a while, they are privacy friendly. Only their support might be unresponsive some times.
The trap host.
Despite it truly not needing personal data and protecting free speech (as far as I can see), this host has other flaws that make it very much sub-optimal. Namely:
The host is a trap because it seems really good at first glance, but it is an illusion. Looking any deeper beyond “wow has free speech and privacy! sign me up!” will reveal it easily. And you will inevitably learn the issues if you use them for long enough. Don’t make my mistake. Oh, I almost forgot. Domain transfer is unavailable for some reason, if you make the blunder of using them as a registrar. At least for me. And again, don’t expect them to answer your support tickets because you need divine intervention for that to happen.
2 stars because well, you can sign up anonymously and they don’t ban for offensive or unconventional content as far as I can see. But that is not enough to redeem them when so many hosts now do the same, without the other flaws.
