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?
It’s just a name that gets resolved into an IP. Tor though does a bit more with it. But that’s the gist behind it.
What’s the point? If your server goes down they both do, you’re not adding any value by having it on Tor.
It adds extra privacy for people who value such.
Many domains actually host both.
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.
Such as Facebook
