I’ve been trying to set up an anonymous website so I can blog my thoughts on some controversial topics without them being traced back to me. I found a post on here that perfectly fit my situation: How hard is to be the anonymous owner of a website?
Unfortunately, using wordpress.com
, tumblr.com
, or wix.com
isn’t an option like was suggested in the question above, since it doesn’t give me the control I desire. I wanted to be able to run PHP and JavaScript, and have a fully customized design.
So I tried some free web hosting services like 000webhost.com
and 5gbfree.com
. These were perfect - I was able to do all the things I wanted and had my website all up and running.
One of the things I am planning on doing is starting an email subscription. So I set up a free MailChimp account and started testing an email design. Unfortunately, that’s when I discovered that emails containing a link to my website on subdomains of these web hosts were marked as spam.
So now I’m looking for a solution that provides the full control offered to me by free web hosting services such as 000webhost.com
AND the ability to send emails linking to the website without them getting marked as spam.
So what I am asking is: Is my only option to pay for some web space and buy a domain name? Or can I somehow send email with links to an anonymous website without them being filtered as spam?
000webhost.com
domain is being filtered, which seems pretty excessive...but I'm not sure what mail server/provider you're referring to. Perhaps using more options for MailChimp might raise the threshold so it doesn't get flagged as spam.
