Here’s a list of the best DMCA-ignored hosting in 2024. These companies will let you host any content, without worrying about getting copyright takedown notices.
Obviously, that’s just one factor. Each of these companies also offer multiple other benefits in terms of privacy, anonymity and jurisdiction.
I’ve included all types of servers including Shared, VPS and dedicated on this piece. You can always read our piece on best DMCA ignored VPS if that’s explicitly what you want.
Anyway, let’s get started?

How to choose the best DMCA ignored hosting server?
I’m sure you know what DMCA ignored servers are. But, how exactly do you choose the best of these servers? That’s what I’ll try to discuss in this section before moving to the actual list.
- Offshore location/Jurisdiction: This is one of the most important factors to look for. It basically means where the company is based out of. This decides which laws it must follow and which it can overlook. In simpler words, countries that do not comply to U.S laws are a good option.
- Sign up policies: Do not go with companies which make it mandatory to share real name, address, contact number or other data.
- Payment modes: Always prioritize companies that accept anonymous modes of payment and do not force you to use fiat currencies.
- Security: Like any other host, you must also make sure the company offers adequate security for your files and website.
- Acceptable Use Policy: Always check a server’s AUP before signing up on it. The AUP policy states what content can or can’t be posted on these servers. Yes, just because these companies overlook DMCA doesn’t give users a free pass to post any and everything.
- Management: Like any other host, depending on your skills/time, choose if you want a managed server or something that’s self-managed.
- Refund policy: Unlike most other companies, not all of these companies have a good (or any) refund policy. Hence, if you’re skeptical about it, it’s always best to go through their moneyback policy (if any)
*Do note that not all “offshore servers” ignore DMCA. While they technically can do that, it’s not always a given.
Problems with DMCA Ignored web hosting companies
You certainly know why you need a hosting server that ignored DMCA requests. However, there are things you may not be aware of.
With all its benefits, these servers do have a few problems that exist throughout all similar providers:
- Bad Neighbours: You may use these servers for freedom of speech and expression, not everyone does. A no-DMCA server is used for all kinds of things. This may include illegal streaming, piracy, or even illegal porn! Hence, your website/IP may get blocked even if it’s not your fault.
- Not 100% trustworthy: Sure, the company says they do not respond to DMCA requests. But, do you really think a company would risk getting into a legal battle or sending its owner/employees to jail? While that may happen in some cases, it’s never guaranteed. Once a company gets served a subpoena, they may bend sooner than you can say “qwack”.
- Lack of third-party support: If you’re hosted on a no-DMCA company, chances are you may not get enough partnerships/sponsorships or even basic support from third-parties.
- Lack of speed: No-DMCA servers of course are not hosted in countries like the U.S/U.K/Japan etc. This may at times slow your website down, especially if your target audience is from these countries.

The servers you get are from Bulgaria. BlueAngelHost only offers VPS and dedicated servers. There are no shared servers. This has both its pros and cons. On the brighter side, this prevents the “bad neighbour” problem for you. You won’t be punished for someone else’s spam site. You also get more control and features than a shared servers.
On the darker side, it’s definitely more expensive than shared servers. But hey, all this anonymity and freedom is worth a few extra bucks I suppose, isn’t it?
You get full root access on all plans. The operating system is of your choice as well.To top it all up, the company also offers free DDoS protection up to 10Gbps.
Of course, signup is completely anonymous. No personal data is required or demanded. As for payment, over a dozen Cryptocurrencies can be used, including BTC, XMR, USDT, DOGE, BTCH, LTC etc.
Finally, the AUP is pretty accommodating as well. It allows everything as long as it’s not sponsoring terrorism/illegal (underage) porn, fraud/carding, DDoS attacks etc. E-mail marketing is something else that’s prohibited on their VPS servers.
The company offers both managed and unmanaged plans. The cheapest plan you can get is sold for $8.99/month.

Anonymity isn’t just possible but is their priority. Sign up only requires an e-mail that obviously can be anonymous. Payments can be made using Cryptocurrencies too.
It’s one of the few hosts that has a clear “we will not monitor anything” policy. It even has a “Tor URL” which makes sure your IP address remains safe from the moment you visit the site.

5. ViceTemple

Overview:
- Headquarters: The Netherlands

6. 1Byte
Website: https://1byte.com/
Overview:
- Headquarters: Cambodia
- Free SSL certificates
- Free backups
- Not a very satisfactory refund policy
- Cheapest plan: $1.49/month
- Payment method: only fiat Cryptocurrencies
1Byte is an apt choice especially if you’re on a budget and are looking for shared servers. The company is based out of Cambodia, a country that doesn’t have DMCA.
You also get a ton of additional benefits such as a free SSL certificate, free backups, and even a cPanel! This ensures you do not need additional personnel or skills to manage your server.
Do note that the company’s refund policy isn’t the best. You only get a refund if for some reason your service isn’t registered. This means, if you got your server, you aren’t entitled for a refund.
Also, the refund policy isn’t a “no questions asked” policy. When requesting the refund, you must include reasons why you’re seeking the refund.
Unfortunately, it also doesn’t support Cryptocurrencies. Only fiat modes are supported. That’s another reason why I didn’t mention it higher up on this list.
The company does have a 24X7 live-chat which gives you an edge. The plans start at $1.49/month which is probably the cheapest entry-point on this list.
7. AlexHost

- Payment: Multiple Cryptocurrencies and fiat
- Cheapest plan: $10.00/YEAR
AlexHost has been here since 2008. That says a lot. It obviously is a DMCA ignored hosting and is based out of Moldova. Moldova is one of the most privacy-respect countries you can go with when you need a hosting that ignores DMCA.
In fact, it’s a literal bomb-proof hosting as the physical datacenters are located 5mtr below ground in an underground military bunker.
AlexHost also has a “no logs” policy. Meaning, it doesn’t store records of server usage or user-activity.
Signing up is completely anonymous as well and no personal information is required. The “AUP” prohibits a very limited number of items. These are illegal porn, Tor exit relays, fraud/scams, malware, viruses etc.
Of course it accepts Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency payments. It also acts as a domain registrar. And yes, the domain registration is anonymous as well.

The company also doesn’t care about your identity and signing up is completely anonymous. Needless to say, Cryptocurrency payments are accepted as well. It offers free migrations as well.
The company is about 16 years old today. That tells us it’s worth a peek, doesn’t it? There’s also a live-chat that answers any questions you may have. The only reason we haven’t listed it higher up is because it’s a UK-based company. It does offer a 7-day refund policy.

All types of servers including shared, VPS and dedicated can be purchased. Plans start at $5.00/month.
Do note that it’s slightly different from the other options on this list. It doesn’t completely “ignore” DMCA requests. It does turn a blind eye most of the time, but if a serious request is made, it takes it seriously. In that case, the site owner is asked to either counter the claim, or remove the content.
How to be safe on DMCA-ignored hosting servers?
Hey, these companies sure offer you protection from DMCA. But, there’s still a bit you can do from your end to ensure more protection.
- Use a VPN/Tor URL when signing up: Never sign up at these hosts without a VPN (Recommended VPN software is NordVPN). If the hosting provider has a TOR URL, use that to sign up on top of your VPN. What this does is, hides your IP address from the company. If the company ever wants to share your information, it wouldn’t have your real IP. Without your real IP, you’re almost untraceable.
- Try to use get the domain from the same company: This makes sure you do not have to maintain two different accounts to manage your domain + host. Although, it also makes sure you only have to maintain your anonymity on only one company.
- Always use NordVPN when accessing your domain/server: Your IP needs to be protected not just when signing up but also when accessing the servers at a later time.
- Use a temporary e-mail /data when singing up: Multiple temporary e-mail providers make sure you get an e-mail that doesn’t log your IP address or sell your data to third-parties. Similarly, do not use your real-name or address when signing up.
- Always make your payments using Cryptocurrencies: Also be cautious when acquiring said Cryptocurrencies. If you leak your identity (maybe by using KYC-demanding exchanges) during initial purchase, you’ll still be traceable.
Final words- Which is the best DMCA ignored hosting in 2024?
There of course isn’t one absolute answer.
However, BlueAngelHost does make for a pretty good option. Impreza Host is another full-proof protection against DMCA complaints but it’s on the more expensive side.
Similarly, Webcare 360 is another ignore DMCA hosting provider that doesn’t heed to DMCA laws.
Bottomline? All of this depends on your budget, skills (so you can choose managed vs. unmanaged plans), specific project and so on.
In any case, feel free to start with any of these. Most of these have a refund policy that makes sure you do not end up paying unless you really want to.
