-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hello. See https://community.torproject.org/onion-services/setup/ for how to set up an onion service. You need to be running the server, so it can't be shared hosting. If you are using a GoDaddy shared hosting plan, you won't be able to set up an onion service. If you are using a VPS, you will. Do you have root access to the server? If so, you're good.
would it be the site itself or a copy of the site?
It would be the site itself.
how can I setup a .onion site with a custom domain (a copy of my site in this case) in the darkweb?
The domain cannot be customized except to a very limited extent (just a few characters). The rest is random by design.
will it work on linux only?
No, anything that can run Tor and can run a web server can host an onion service on it. Linux is just the most popular.
do I need to make my own server somehow and somewhere?
Yes, whether it's a dedicated server, a virtual server (VPS), or your home PC, it has to be running on some server.
I noticed it takes Apache on linux, does this mean that the site would be hosted in a server INSIDE my own pc?
If you set up the onion service on your own PC, yes. You don't have to, though. You can run it on another computer, like a VPS. The important question is whether or not you need the website to be *hidden*, or if you just want to have a copy of it that is accessable over the Tor network. If you want it to be hidden, then hosting a non- Tor copy of it defeats the point.
