Assuming I’ve got a website hosted on GitHub via Cloudflare with a custom domain. How different would it be to host the same site with a .onion address?

EDIT: I’ve had a few drinks so hopefully this isn’t too bad or at least makes sense.

    What’s the point? If your server goes down they both do, you’re not adding any value by having it on Tor.

        I screwed around on tor the other day for the first time in a long time, most onion sites I could find were down. The only thing that worked fine was Wikipedia LibGen and a few other places out of hundreds deadlinks.

          That’s how I remember it as well. It was a frustrating mess of dead sites or sites that looked like they were created in 1993 and loaded with the speed of a BBS coming through a 1200 baud modern

          You simply follow the steps for both. But when it says in the steps to set up a webserver, instead of using 2 different webservers, you use 1.

            The question is can governments figure out where the server location is ? like there r extensions which allow u to c where the website is hosted

              Providing both a clearnet and a onion domain is not to protect the website’s privacy, but to protect the user’s privacy.
