I'm a boomer and have to make a webpage for my business. I and many of my clients are against data collection and silicon valley in general.
I personally try to boycott google, Amazon, paypal, facebook, but I also know much of their business is practically invisible and you might not realize you are using a google or Amazon product.
I've read that amazon and google host many of the websites online.
Are there more consumer friendly, pro privacy, and speech web hosting services?
No

If you had a clue you'd know there are plenty of hosts that have nothing to do with your boogey monsters, and as long as your website isn't nazi level hate they don't care about your conspiracy theories.
LOL, Nazi's don't even larp these days. The last Nazi LARPer I saw was a black kid, with fade. I am pretty sure it was for shits and giggles.
There are independent colos everywhere. There aught to be indie hosting services too. Most people are lazy and will just click on the first few links in their search engine.
I would probably look at where the colos are. Then look for the periphery colos. Then look at who is hosted at those locations. Probably some indie cheapo with a poor budget. I know it sounds old school but searching for hosting services the old way, usenet, yellow pages, BBB listings, calling a friend will find you more options than google searching.

Wow dementia is already settling in there gramps.
Web hosting inst your backhoe sewage digging contractor. There is no "cheapo" option. If you don't have five nines you might as well just use your server racks for recycling. The cost to entry is so immense, and competition so fierce and subsidized that you would legally have to be insane to even try and directly compete with amazon and google. Companies that can afford to loose immense amounts of money just to keep any and all competition from getting a foot hold. Hell google buys any and all startups it perceives as a threat, and burns them down just to maintain supremacy.
In short, yes there are lunatics with servers that will keep your website online, there are DNS services that will give you a domain name for cheap, there are programmers that will even make your site "google free". However, ultimatley most if not all of your users will come to your website thought google, facebook, instagram, or some other meme socal media of the future. These places will go out of their way to make sure you are on the fringe of the fringe if that due to your unwillingness to play ball in their court.
Good luck.
>Ohs noes!?
>Getting rack space at a cheepo colo isn't possible.
It is and you are an idiot. There are dime a dozen options for cheap rack space, cheap hosting and cheap web hosting. You just have to do the foot work.
Terminal Dunning-Kruger syndrome
Good point. Probably should just buy some funkos and criticize the work others are doing.
if by work you mean fantasy shitposting then yeah
>how to set myself up for inevitable failure?
But to answer your question, there are none.
Everything on the web relies in some way shape or form on things partially touched or owned by one of the big tech giants. It might not be obvious but its there.
Best you can do is buy a chunk of backbone, and a server rack. Run it to your business and literally do everything by yourself. Good luck being blacklisted in every search query tho. This kind of stuff is frowned upon, since the only people who go thought the effort of setting up stuff like this are considered undesirables by big platforms. While not outright banned, they are given much lower priority and therefore coverage.
>I personally try to boycott google, Amazon, paypal, facebook,
no one will ever know about you.
good
Linode, OVH, iWeb are 3 I can think of off the top of my head.
As others have pointed out, no one is going to give a frick about your website as long as you aren't selling drugs or plotting to kidnap a governor of Michigan.
Also, this question would best be answered by PrepHole.
>Also, this question would best be answered by PrepHole.
If unhinged ranting about trannies is your idea of an answer.. Actually no, I have nothing, go frick yourself.
There are definitely competitors in web hosting you can go with. Try to get one that has its servers physically located in your own country if possible. Beyond that, it starts to get tricky. Things like DNS and payment systems tend to always be connected to globohomosexual in some way, since they're so centralized and gatekept. So find a good web host and forget about the rest, since you've done the best you can.
>Are there more consumer friendly, pro privacy, and speech web hosting services?
You're only going to really address this by hosting yourself. Which requires a reasonable level of technical competence.
But if you have to throw money at someone, Epik (the registrar) has a history of being neutral to anti-globohomo.
web dev here. what kind of site are you wanting to build? You can host it on your own server in your own house you know. You dont have to have it "hosted" somewhere else
Terrible idea for trying to grow a busniess. You will get blacklisted from every popular search engine.
I hate to say it, but you NEED to be mainstream in order to grow your busniess. And I say that hating trannies.
>Terrible idea for trying to grow a busniess.
No it isn't, it depends on what you are building it for
>You will get blacklisted from every popular search engine.
Yah ... no. This isnt how it works. Who do you think hosts GE? Ford? Honda? etc. They all have their own IT depts and their own websites, no hosting service hosts them. In fact hosting services are actually a rather new phenomenon. Where your website is hosted has zero to do with search engine ranking, in fact unless you specifically advertise it in the code somehow the web crawler doesnt even know where the server hosting the website is. There are some other ways to find out these things but they arent really relevant for this conversation.
These people are simply demotivators. They have no input to move anyone's project forward.
wtf happened to OP? I was willing to help but apparently he cant even answer what the website is for so it doesnt appear he is very interested in moving forward either.
google 'tor hosting service' on duck duck go or yandex or something.
