- I have a site hosted on Godaddy. How can I make/get a tor onion v3 domain for my site? and how does it would work? would it be the site itself or a copy of the site?
Do you run the server itself or just use webhosting? If you host your server yourself, you have to install the tor software and configure a hidden service.
- how can I setup a .onion site with a custom domain (a copy of my site in this case) in the darkweb?
The domain is generated as it includes information about the key used by tor.
will it work on linux only?
The tor client can run on any supported OS, like Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD etc. It can run on a different machine than the web server itself.
would it be the domain only or the hosting too?
You have to provide a machine, you get the domain by generating the keys for your service, you do not need to register it like a common gtld.
- how do i host my own .onion site on the Tor network?
Your machine is part of the network and will distribute the information that this hidden service exist to the directories.
do I need to make my own server somehow and somewhere? I noticed it takes Apache on linux, does this mean that the site would be hosted in a server INSIDE my own pc?
This is one way to handle that. You can use and old PC sitting in your basement. The tor client doesn't need to be reachable from the internet directly, so it can be operated with IPv6 only on residential lines, behind SPI firewall or with IPv4-CGNAT.
definitely I am looking for a step-by-step explications on how make (duplicate a site or make a brand new one) a site domain and hosting on tor dark web. as I told I am new to tor and a bit confused, if you can let me know where I could find assistance and/or the know how thanks
First explain how you would like to handle the server situation. -- Gruß Marco Send unsolicited bulk mail to 1764687075muell@cartoonies.org
