Man, why do people insist on using others to host their tor hidden services? It seems like the last thing you'd want or need to do. It's super simple to set up a hidden service from your home computer and host. I've been putting all my clear web sites on tor as well for years. Lots of bot traffic but never any problems and plenty of real traffic too.

How do you anonymously host a service from your home computer? I'm new to all this.

I also checked out your site. I hope to be at your level of expertise one day.

"Tor Hidden Services" are services hosted on the tor network and inaccessible outside it.

Hosts are assigned a dns name .onion so clients can connect to that service.
