Autistici / Inventati: Privacy-Focused Web Hosting

A secure and private web hosting provider offering free email, web hosting, and more, prioritizing users' digital rights.

What is Autistici / Inventati?

Autistici / Inventati is a privacy-focused web hosting provider and activist server collective based in Italy. It was launched in 2001 with the goal of providing secure and ethical online services while protecting users' privacy, anonymity, and digital rights.

Some key features and services offered by Autistici / Inventati include:

• Free email accounts with 5GB of storage space
• Free SSL-encrypted web hosting with PHP and MySQL support
• Jabber/XMPP instant messaging accounts
• Mailing lists, IRC channels, and etherpads
• An anonymous remailer service for protecting privacy
• Guidelines and technical measures focused on not retaining user data whenever possible
• Services hosted across two locations in Italy to increase resilience

Unlike large commercial providers like Gmail and GoDaddy, Autistici / Inventati is run entirely by volunteers as a political activism effort. It aims to empower online privacy, provide ethical alternatives to mainstream options, and give users more control over their own data and digital presence.

The collective has over 8,000 active users spanning activists, journalists, artists, and everyday citizens aiming to avoid corporate and government surveillance. It runs entirely on donations from users and like-minded foundations to fund technical infrastructure and operations.
