So, this might seem like a stupid question on face value, but I’ll go further in detail.

Everyone talks about getting a personal website so you can freely express yourself without getting beaten up by typical Social Media companies. While I fully agree with that, there are a few issues I have thought of:

Firstly, (assuming self-hosting isnt an option) won’t you have to use google or AWS to host your website? And if you post something “they don’t like”, nothing is stopping them from just ban-hammering your website.

Secondly, even if you get a stable host, getting a domain is a completely different issue with the same causes; they could just revoke your domain if, again, you say something “they don’t like”.

With all that being said, would anyone have any remedies for these issues? Are there any privacy/free-speech respecting web hosts and domain suppliers?

Thank you for your responses! :D

    It makes me very sad, that there are many people who believe that the internet comes down to Google, Amazon and Facebook.
