📄 Editorial Review
Leaver & Co., founded in 1999 in the United States, is a family-run hosting provider with a distinct focus on free speech–oriented web hosting. Their model is built around a strong philosophical stance—defending original constitutional principles and resisting the trend toward content deplatforming—while still maintaining clear boundaries against unlawful activity and incitement to violence.The company operates on the belief that hosting should be secure, censorship-resistant, and respectful of customer privacy, with content oversight limited to legitimate, evidentiary complaints. Over more than two decades, their record shows minimal legal interventions, reflecting both their selective enforcement approach and long-standing operational stability.
Service Portfolio
Shared Hosting
For customers without a preferred CMS, Leaver offers Kopage, a beginner-friendly website builder aimed at getting sites online quickly without coding knowledge.
WordPress Hosting
Optimized WordPress plans include a dedicated database server to improve performance and scalability for content-heavy sites.
Managed VPS
For projects that outgrow shared hosting, Managed VPS plans provide isolated resources, fully managed updates, and security administration handled by Leaver’s technical team.
Live / VOD Streaming CDN
A global content distribution network for live video streaming, video-on-demand, TV station scheduling, and embedding video content via CMS integration.
Radio / Audio Streaming
Streaming solutions for online radio stations and DJs, complete with live broadcasting capabilities, AutoDJ scheduling, and media storage for audio libraries.
Business Email
An alternative to Microsoft Exchange hosting, providing enterprise-class email features—including video conferencing—without the associated licensing costs.
Free Speech Policy and Content Guidelines
Leaver’s free speech hosting ethos centers on enabling open expression while barring:
- Nudity or sexual content that appeals to prurient interest.
- Graphic content that advocates or incites violence or illegality.
They permit robust political and religious debate, provided it avoids incitement to violence. The prohibition on illegality follows a straightforward definition—anything contrary to criminal law—while discussion of controversial legal topics is allowed.
Enforcement is reactive rather than proactive:
- The company does not monitor client content unless an external complaint is submitted via postal mail, parcel delivery, or abuse ticket.
- In 25 years, they report one early FBI subpoena, a more recent subpoena related to a civil dispute between hosted parties, and a handful of DMCA complaints resolved through direct negotiation.
Customer Approach
Leaver emphasizes privacy, non-interference, and transparent dispute resolution. Their small-team, family-run structure means customers interact with a provider that prioritizes human decision-making over automated takedowns. The focus is on balancing free expression with lawful operation, making them a niche choice for individuals, organizations, and media projects seeking stability and resilience against deplatforming.
Strengths
- Strong philosophical commitment to free speech hosting.
- Two-plus decades of operational history with minimal legal interventions.
- Broad service mix—covers standard hosting, streaming media, and business email.
- Managed VPS for growth paths without requiring self-administration.
- Case-by-case handling of complaints, avoiding blanket censorship.
Considerations
- Their content boundaries, while more permissive than mainstream hosts, still exclude adult material and violent/illegal advocacy—clients must ensure compliance.
- Uptime guarantees, SLA terms, and specific technical specifications are not outlined and should be confirmed before hosting critical workloads.
- As a smaller, values-driven provider, they cater more to those seeking aligned philosophy and personal support than to high-volume commodity hosting.
