Why host a darknet website?
It’s as cheap as free is why! You get a domain name free of charge, that means no more paying the corporations for yearly access to your domain name. You never really own it in the clearnet, you rent! Rent money is dead money!

Isn’t the darknet only for [insert strange and/or illegal things]?
That’s only what makes headlines. Take this website for example, would mainstream media ever be able to have you fear the darknet by talking about this website? It’s very unlikely. Always remember the sensationalist media is just that, sensationalist!
