Reply to comment by Rambler in Parler is back and it's hosted in Russia! by not_bob

I suspect they went with the cheapest alternative that would get them back online. Having various services hosted across many different countries only helps with the freedom of information.

I think I read that they were paying AWS upwards of $300,000/mo for services.

Definitely a much larger operation than I had previously though. A client that big should have had providers, globally, drooling over the idea of a big sale.

I find it hard to believe they could be generating that much revenue legitimately.

I think they were a political hot potato. Hosting providers likely don't want to risk their payment processors.
