Are there any differences between hosting a .onion site and a “normal” site?

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?

EDIT: I’ve had a few drinks so hopefully this isn’t too bad or at least makes sense.

I.e. you either need your own server or a provider that supports Tor. Don’t think GitHub supports it.

Yeah, hosting it on Tor or i2p will be beneficial for those clients who don’t want to browse the clearnet. I think most all sites should have both

websites with .onion top level domain have layers

Ogres have layers.

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.

Such as Facebook

How do you host both?

Azzu ,

You simply follow the steps for both. But when it says in the steps to set up a webserver, instead of using 2 different webservers, you use 1.

The question is can governments figure out where the server location is ? like there r extensions which allow u to c where the website is hosted

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.

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.
