Looking at the site I suspect someone doesn't agree with free speech - common misconception in the US that free speech only applies to stuff you agree with. Wherever you host next try fronting with Cloudflare and make sure your origin servers only accept connections from their servers. Cloudflare generally supports free speech and it provides a layer of indirection to keep people from complaining to your hosting provider. Make sure you don't expose your origin IPs in server messages or DNS.

It's a common misconception that free speech has no legal limits, and that it affects private companies. Neither of these are true. Hate speech is not protected, and companies certainly aren't obligated to enable it.

  > Hate speech is not protected... It is in fact protected in the United States: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_speech_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_speech_in_the_United_Stat... > ...and companies certainly aren't obligated to enable it. Nevertheless, it is important to know which private companies do support free speech, including all the ugly bits.

  > "It's a common misconception that free speech ... affects private companies" Incorrect, it is the US First Amendment that doesn't affect private companies but the First Amendment != freedom of speech. Your statement is a uniquely American misconception. Freedom of speech, as a philosophy, affects everyone. That's why the ACLU has historically defended some rather deplorable people; liberal principles matter.
