Epic Privacy Browser Forums

I've noticed that most privacy discussions focus on browsers, VPNs, and search engines, but not many people talk about the role of web hosting.

Even if you're using a privacy-focused browser like Epic, the website you're visiting still depends on the hosting provider behind it. Things like server security, software updates, DDoS protection, and how the hosting company handles logs can all influence the overall privacy and security of a website.

From a website owner's perspective, I think these are worth considering:

Keeping the server software updated
Using HTTPS everywhere
Protecting against DDoS attacks
Limiting unnecessary data collection
Following the principle of collecting only the information that's actually needed

I've been working with hosting providers recently, and one thing I appreciated about QloudHost is that they offer infrastructure focused on performance and security, which makes it easier for site owners to implement better privacy practices. Of course, good hosting alone doesn't guarantee privacy. Website configuration and responsible data handling are just as important.

I'm curious what others think.

Do you consider the hosting provider to be an important part of online privacy, or do you think the browser and VPN matter much more?
