I chose this host as they said they are bastion of free speech. They do not censor. But this is not true. I have read their abuse section

"Freedom of Speech: Note that as an online service provider, FlokiNET is not in a p...Read Moreosition to judge the merits of what its customers state on their own web sites. As such, we do not censor or otherwise assert editorial control over the content on their sites. We do indeed host sites that some (including ourselves) may find offensive, but we want to make it very clear that hosting a website does not mean that we condone its content or have any relation with the production of such content. "
We had multiple sites hosted and they, without warning cut them all off with no access.

The owner sited the Iceland law

"The law in iceland does forbid the endanger the public health. Which you do by claiming vaccines and masks dont work.
Also again: you break our ToS and AUP which clearly forbids this as well.
You are free to contact icelandic law enforcement and public authorities which will explain you that in detail:
https://www.landlaeknir.is/english/

I have check and read this law ...and we have not broken any of Island's laws, just provided alternative information that questions the official narrative of covid, masks and vaccines. This is a crime of free speech.

Avoid these Covid Zealots who are pretending to be champions of free speach.

Also try calling customer support. Non existent ...Tickets only ...Average ticket response time for technical issues was 1/2 day. They publish their 3 phone numbers but nobody EVER answers. Better to go with and actual freedom platform.Less

Garbage response....They are saying we are champions of free speech but only if we agree with what they believe in and what the authorities have to say. They may want to get a dictionary and find out what free speech means in English.

Hello Dan,

Sorry for the delay, we are working on upgrading our infrastructure and our staff is a bit taken at the moment.

You see, this is not a issue, on Softaculous shows a Wordpress installation active.

Wordpress is not only made of files present on the public_html, but databases and other files all over your cpanel account cached and hidden - as expected.

Review on using FlokiNET's VPN and dedicated web servers

4.6
VPS Romania VPS III
I have so far been using the following services at FlokiNET:
- VPS (Virtual Private Servers) - to hos web sites (Ubuntu v20 ~ WordPress) and email servers (Ubuntu v18 ~ Mail-in-a-box)
- Dedicated server - (Ubuntu v20 ~ hos live ...Read Morestream server)
- Host domains that I've registered or moved to FlokiNET and set up cPanel (DNS) service for some of them.

Flokinet VPS and dedicated servers takes a while to learn how to set up because - you have to set them up from scratch - and you need to have some basic technical skill to do that - which IMO is to be expected. If there are elements you do not know how to do - FlokiNET's support is very skilled and very helpful through the entire process. They help you in a way so you build your own skill so you only have to ask them once.

For services you might not have no access to yourself (based on the services you have purchased) - FlokiNET's support will also help you very fast - e.g. setting up reverse NS (DNS is domain -> IP, reverse-NS is IP -> domain) which is important to set up when you run email servers.

I have been very happy with FlokiNET and I've moved all my hosting to FlokiNET - except for some DNS hosting that I do with another company).Less

2: you provide false and fake information about covid vaccine
In the light of a global pandemic and the current situation we are all in this is more then irresponsible publishing such things.

We do support free speech but not harming other people by publishing lies who do stop fighting the pandemic.
You can believe bullshit and publish it as long as it doesent harm other people. But spreading fake news about vaccines cause less people taking it and wont let us end the pandemic.

If you want to inform yourself here is a good point to start:
https://www.dw.com/en/coronavirus-vaccines-fake-news-and-myths-go-viral/a-55652267

In 60 days when the ICANN block is over you can transfer the domain towards a different registrar untill then the acocunt remains closed.

We will not discuss this further.

Hello Mark,

Thank you for your review. We are sorry that you had a negative experience with us. However, we cannot emphasize enough how important it is to read and respect our terms and conditions.
As per Icelandic law, we s...Read Moreupport freedom of speech, as long as it doesn't promote hate, malice, misinformation, and other forms of harming others.
According to the European Commission's Code of Practice on Disinformation, as mentioned in the e-mail you copied, disinformation is defined, among others, as something that "may cause public harm, intended as threats to democratic political and policymaking processes as well as public goods such as the protection of EU citizens' health, the environment or security".
As a hosting company, we are responsible to host content that won't violate the best practices in the fight against a virus that caused a global pandemic. We consider you violated our terms and conditions by publishing fake and unverified information about the pandemic and measures taken against it, and therefore, we suspended your content.Less

That means other far more controversial websites or topics run the severe risk of being suspended. I would not trust any hosting provider that will censor a COVID related blog post.

Preforming a test like this on other hosting providers would provide valuable information on just how much they really promote "freedom of speech" in practice.Less

Looking forward to the next renewal of my sites libertarianbooks.eu, TheIndicter.com, and SWEDHR.org
