Nazi Hosting
1st Amendment (http://www.1st-amendment.net) web hosting company offers web hosting for sites that really really need that right enforced. I guess.
One of them is the American Nazi Party:

Do you think this is acceptable?0

Obviously, on a personal level, I don't think this acceptable. However, it is their right to have a website like that, and it would be contradicting my beleifs to say their site should be taken down.
Take care,

Make a search for "nazi web hosting" at Google - numerous articles in this regard would come up.0

I wouldn't host it and my personal beliefs don't coincide with the hosted website you referenced but at the same time I think they have the right to have a website of this nature up if they choose to.

This goes far beyond web hosting but part of the drawback of free speach is your going to be disgusted, offended and somtimes taken by suprise at what people say. I always think people should have the right to say it though...

Totally acceptable, as long as the website itself is not breaking any laws. Now, I'm not sure if I would fight for the naziparty to have web hosting, but if someone is providing it to them I don't view them as criminal or wrong.
They might be unpopular with some, but someone has to protect everyone's first amendment rights.
Kind of like that American orginization that specializes in defending the unpopular parties (they've defended nazis, african americans back in the day, and other parties), can't remember the name of the orginization right now...A Collection of Web Hosts
Small biographies on hosts, uptime reports and some reviews
Feel free to add your review or add a host that isn't on the list.0

LaurenStephens, I am worried, I don't know what you are implying by your comment 'is one ok but not the other?' Does that mean you find this acceptable? Although I'm sure I'm misunderstanding you.

There is a huge difference between a minority group providing programming for their sub-culture (sub as in part of a larger group, not underneath another group) and promoting the populous standard as different than everyone else.
As for hosting, I consider hosting any political group as potentially alienating other businesses. But, I will fight to all ends for any group (that doesn't promote any violent acts) to get their message out, even if I think it is morally corrupt.

im not 100% sure if you are asking if the site content is ok with me or the fact that someone is hosting it.
im not familiar with the nazi agenda nor did i read the site, but no i dont have a problem with those people hosting it.if you haven't considered chapter 7 bankruptcy, maybe you should.

Guys, let's not make this about television for ethnic groups.
The point is not what is promoted on a Nazi web site, but is it reasonable and acceptable to host it.
Thank you.0

wouldnt it be very politically incorrect to have a station NAMED the white entertainment channel?if you haven't considered chapter 7 bankruptcy, maybe you should.

Again, let's not make this about television or content of a web site.
The question was and remains if is reasonable or acceptable to host something like this.
Thank you.0

As far as the company hosting, I don't see anything at all wrong with that. Just as long as they make sure none of their sites are breaking any laws.
I used to work for another webhost and one of our clients had an anti-american/capitalists theme to it. I actually found the site quite offensive, but he never broke our TOS and I actually provided tech support to him a few times. He had the right to say what he wanted to say.Take care,

If they are having problems finding hosts (assuming that they aren't promoting violence or other unlawful activities) I think this service is needed.
But, again, personally I wouldn't host them (or any other political group) as I see it as bad for buisness.0

That's it. No more is needed to know.
EDIT: Keep in mind that this kind of a client might cause legal trouble or even hacking attempts. What if the government calls you up and asks to remove it? Would you fight the challenge? I mean you are the 1st Amendment host, right, you are supposed to...

Perfectly fine to host it. Nothing wrong with the site either. The site does no harm to anyone.

- I'm not a host. That is why I was curious in your opinions.0
