Who Are We?

The collective is born from a collaboration between a dozen of anarchist websites that required specialized webhosting needs. It started in 2001 under the name of Resistance Network which later teamed up with Anarkhia Collective to build our own self-managed servers. 

Our programmers create custom-made apps and tools for the communities we host, providing activists with tools that are usually reserved for professionals.

All of our servers and web development costs are funded by No Gods No Masters Cooperative

Anarchist Forum

The Anarchist Forum is the place where the community self-manage its platforms. Since all websites are collaborative projects, anyone can suggest websites to add or remove.

We believe in direct democracy and also believe it has to be done in a transparent and inclusive form. Hence why we think a public forum is the best way to make it easy for anyone to get involved.

Technical issues can be reported in this forum. This is also the best way to get in touch with the tech team for any other reason.

Webhosting Cooperative

We host websites of anarchist collectives and punk bands, providing them with full-featured and pro-actively managed hosting services for free.
View Hosted Sites
Each website is independently managed by its own autonomous team. We only provide hosting, server management and tech support.

Why we run our own self-managed servers

✓ Managed by a team of volunteer activists
✓ Not owned by a capitalist business
✓ Non-commercial and no ads
✓ Complete control over the data
✓ Prevent unauthorized access to private information
✓ Better protection against hackers
✓ Support resource-intensive applications
✓ No censorship

For privacy reasons, we do not have a public list of all of the websites that we host. Only the websites that are fully managed by the Tech Team are listed here.

Powered By 100% Green Energy

All of our servers are powered by renewable energy. Our main data center is among the top 2% most environmentally efficient data centers in the world based on PUE rating.

Our main servers are located in the Beauharnois data center near Montreal and just next to the hydroelectric dam.

Traditional data centers are wasting energy and polluting the planet. The energy footprint is estimated at 7% of global electricity consumption and projected to reach 21% of the total demand. The internet is responsible for around 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions, exceeding the airline industry.

The Newsletters

Promoting social struggles and political bands to a large audience. Our mail servers are optimized for enhanced mail delivery and managed by a team of experienced system admins.

This project is interesting because it has a real-world impact. Sending an e-mail to over 100,000 subscribers can definitely have an influence over the number of persons who will attend the events, read the news, or even buy albums from the bands.

The Tech Team

The Tech Team is a group of programmers, tech enthusiasts, and activists with advanced IT knowledge. We are a collective of individuals from all over the world who speak different languages to cover a variety of international websites. Members of our team are located in different countries and time zones, allowing us to offer in-house 24/7 server monitoring and very fast response times.

We unite under the common goal of helping other activists to achieve an online presence and get the tech support that is sometimes rare to find for free. The team works behind the scene to manage the servers on a daily basis and protect them from hackers.

 

Join the Tech Team

Want to contribute? Here are the skills we are looking for:

– HTML/CSS/JS Frontend Developer
– PHP Backend Developer
– Linux Sysadmins
– Forum Moderators
– Data Entry Tasks (WordPress)
– Translators
– Social Community Managers

Get Involved

No Gods, No Masters, No Webmasters!

Each website that we host is moderated by its own collective. The most critical decisions are always delegated to the communities. The Tech Team’s role is purely technical – we take care of the bugs but we do not get involved in the day-to-day content moderation. We strongly believe this separation of power is very important to respect the principles of direct democracy and self-management.


Report a technical problem

Found a bug or a server is down? If you’re part of a website that we host or just a member of the community, you can use this form to contact the Tech Team and the issue will be handled quickly.

Previous technical issues reports can be found here in english and french
