Who hosts 8chan?

I recently read on twitter, wikipedia and other various sites about 8chan, the second most popular image board on the internet. It has been repeatedly reported for hosting images of what resembles softcore child pornography, meaning photos of children in suggestive poses, dressed in lingerie / swim suits etc.

The site has been reported to the authorities several times, but it has not yet been taken down. Its domain name was temporarily suspended for a few weeks in January 2015, after multiple people filed reports complaining to 8chan’s registrar that the message board hosted child pornography. Despite regaining the domain, the site remained at 8ch.net, with the old domain redirecting to it. The site's hosting company is protected by CloudFlare on Whoishostingthis and Whois.

What hosting company could allow such a website despite its content? Where is it hosted?

  • Basement hosting perhaps. I think they're using some offshore non DMCA host.

    Any company that is based in a country where the content is not illegal. So a fuckton of countries, including the US and A

    Weird... Cause most of the companies (both in the USA and Europe) I've asked said they would not host anything even close to what 8chan contains...

    That's their choice and does not mean it's illegal. ISPs are not judges.

    There is a lot of stick stuff on the internet. Racism, fascism, extremism, militant feminism, child sexualization, Scientology/Religion, drugs, guns, etc. . If you were to remove all you can find it would still be there. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's gone.

    You forgot to mention Jewish supremacism and Marxism: both of which are found rather frequent all over the Internet and particularly in the "old media".

    All jews believe in supremacism or just zionist? i think orthodox jews are more friendly but the zionist well the less said about them the better.

    Plenty of companies in the EU and U.S. will host this kind of content, as long as you actively remove illegall images fast.

    they're hosted in the US by nttec.com, and get their hosting for free in exchange for placing japanese ads on some of their boards. 8chan has a "partnership" with 2ch.net, whose owner also owns nttec

    Just go to https://localbitcoins.com buy bitcoins with hard cash or paysafecard, create a HA cluster or RoundRobin DNS method with romanian or russian or whatever lowendboxes located in planet earth, you stay cash untraceable, and you're good to go flowing some random bits throught out the web

    8chan is nothing at this matter, just some random pics of horny jailbaits trying to grab some untargetted attention to their tight bodies

    It took me just one visit to see weird pics where they use children as models? Like.. I can't explain.. but I don't think OP was talking about selfies, more like someone takes the pictures to make money with them.

    There was a case of a German politician a while ago, who ordered pictures like that (at least I assume it was like that) from Canada for money and paid with his credit card lel. Big scandal and all but he did nothing illegal..

    When someone can be prosecuted over a random released combination of bits, that they didn't produce them, manyones are gonna get hit with colateral damage

    Now there's a law in my country that can put you in jail if you promote Jihad \ terrorist activities or belives on the internet, its a very subjective law
    Imagine you have some automated scripts/sites that randomly scrap data from other sites, you could possibly fall on to a trap like this, cause this kind of sites can be very common

    This kind senseless enforced judgements can lead to a lot of colateral damage and sabotage, neither nobody should judge anyone for what they're wanking to, these are just privacy issues that lead to anything

    Its like creating a law that says if pornstars are ilegal, wankers too

    If you think that kind of photoshooting is "wierd", you haven't seen a bit of the demented part of the internet, I don't understand these CP meltdowns when there is sh*t that goes way more beyond and demented than that

    All kinds of necrofilia, slow torture, beating, murder and nasty sh*t, stuff that ain't ilegal by law on internet, because if it was, there would be people willing to pay for it

    Stuff like they cut a girl's head and fuck their throat while she's still moving, or someone tied to a chair and getting slowly puntuated in all parts with a screwdriver till death

    Would you mind naming me some of these companies? If there is any owner of a hosting company here who would allow non-nude child modeling photos and videos on their servers, do reply to this thread. I'm willing to bet you will not find one single hosting company on lowendtalk who would do that.

    Notably Ecatel and Softlayer, Quadranet also (hosts 4chan).

    Ecatel and Softlayer will let you do that (and much more).

    So how much did you lose on that bet? :D

    Yes, we definitely need to censor cricket and baseball. Disgusting. What are your views on lacrosse?

    Well if we're going to list a bunch of "awful" things why leave out Zionism and Jewish supremacism, does it bother you @raindog308 if those things are mentioned? Sure does feel like it! ;)

    Why wouldn't they allow it when it's not illegal? I am sure a lot of ISPs understand that they are not morale policemen, but merely service providers. Aside from the countless "offshore" providers, I am sure providers like OVH would allow it,too. Or go look up Tor exit node providers, I am sure they would allow it,too.
