Does anyone have any insight on how TPB has managed to stay online this long?
- Cthulhu_ 9y agoIIRC it was sold / transferred to an unknown party and hosted outside of any jurisdictions. The mistake the original owners made was that their names could be traced back from the website.
- aurbano 9y ago> hosted outside of any jurisdictions I'm curious about this - does it mean hosting in a country that "doesn't care", or is there some other option that I'm unaware of?
- Feniks 9y agoThere are shady hosting companies who don't ask a lot of questions. Some of them even accept BTC. At the end of the day TPB is just ones and zeros in a basement somewhere.
- pbhjpbhj 9y agoYou could host on 2 servers and combine at the client (one server has even bits, the other odd) - that technically wouldn't be hosted anywhere only existing transiently at the client location?

- tim333 9y agoThere's some info on their 2014 set up - >At the time of writing the site uses 21 “virtual machines” (VMs) hosted at different providers. >All virtual machines are hosted with commercial cloud hosting providers, who have no clue that The Pirate Bay is among their customers. https://torrentfreak.com/the-pirate-bay-runs-on-21-raid-proof-virtual-machines-140921/ https://torrentfreak.com/the-pirate-bay-runs-on-21-raid-proo...
