Hello Guys, I would like to host my website on an onshore hosting, I usually get dmca notices so I have to move every time, I used many offshore vps before but they are mostly slow, and the load time affects the seo, I did read here that it is possible to host on an onshore hosting + do a reverse proxy to hide the current hosting, I can't seem to find a tutorial or something that explains how to do a reverse proxy, if possible please someone explains it.

Thank you all.
 
Interested as well and if someon with blue badge can do this Im ready to pay for it
 
I've heard of DDos proxy solutions, but not about reverse proxy. If you have more details please share.
 
This will include some degree of knowledge both network/server and storage. First you should have bandwidth and stable connection. Files can be anywhere you'd like. One way is to setup hosting server and let it accept connection only from your reverse proxy server, then setup connection from reverse proxy to file server in a way you like or are most familiar with (probably CDN or S3 will work for this).

This way you'll get single hosting of your content while you can switch domains and reverse proxies as you like.

Edit: This way you can proxy different content to different visitors, serve bots with something different, etc. You will require knowledge of LUA scripting, nginx setup, server management, routing, and lots of other things to make it work properly.

I don't understand what you want. So you want to host your copyrighted content on some offshore hosting and you want your site's frontend to be served from your onshore hosting?

I don't think that's gonna help. They'll just send a DMCA to your onshore host irrespective of where your content comes from.

They will do it but that's not a question here. OP asked is it possible to do it and what does it involve to achieve it. Maybe he/she have pool of domains ready to swap on DMCA notice and only wants his/her content secure while in the same time doesn't give a flying f*** about onshore domain.

That will do too, if there is a service like cloudflare that doesnt trandfer dmca notices will be good

thats correct, thanks

Yes indeed. If you want to discuss it more into detail just write here. You can also PM me too but it is better for everyone's benefit if we keep it public.

Also, if you have some private stuff like domains/accounts that you need help to configure we can keep it private while general stuff we can leave here for everyone.
 
Yes, it is possible. You can use haproxy but that needs technical skills to configure that.
Nginx can also be used as reverse proxy but that too needs a lot of experience. Please note that using another server will increase server response time.
and your first piece of content will take more time to print.
It is highly suggested to use offshore servers directly instead.
