Well, if you're into cooking, this is not it. It's a hidden service within Tor, or the onion router. Ever heard of facebookcorewwwi.onion? This blog post is about this kind of onion. If you're also familiar with the silk road then you are on the right spot. Onion sites are well hidden inside Tor and it's difficult for anyone to track.
A bit of an Intro
Hosting your own domain can be a bit tricky. First off, you need money. Well, of course, you do. You need to sign up for a hosting company. GoDaddy is one good example. There are lots though and I don't need to put it here. It seems I'm advertising GoDaddy. I only got 2 accounts, GoDaddy and ASmallOrange, SmallOrange is crap, although a bit cheaper than GoDaddy. I have Vultur but I don't know how to get my custom domain so that doesn't count. Had PesoHosting but, will get your high blood pressure rolling just mentioning it here. After you get an account, and that's after you pay for like a few dollars and get FTP account. You upload your script to the hosting server and you get a website running. This is not to mention, you login to cPanel, create an FTP account, install FTP client, configuration your account to the FTP client and upload your scripts. Also if you're connecting locally to your MySQL server, you need to not forget to configure the proper config to your server it won't connect. So anyway, hosting is a bit techy. Well, yes, same as goes for onion hosting. But did I mention you only need Tor with it. And a bit of server and scripting language so yeah I find it interesting. And I don't need a credit card and a GoDaddy account. Worth a try.
You only need Tor browser. In simple terms, it's just a Firefox browser that connects to the Tor network. Install it and viola, you're done. No, no not really. We need a bit more. Just start it for now. It should look like this.
If you installed to the default directory, you should get something like this in your desktop.
Edit the torrc with Notepad++. Again I'm not advertising any software but I do like it so you should install it. And send your donations to my account. Seriously, Notepad++ can be a good handy editor at times like this. Add these lines at the bottom.
HiddenServiceDir C:\Users\nebulom\tor_service
HiddenServicePort 8888 127.0.0.1:8888
Now that's some weird shit. But it's just a config saying "Hey Tor, look for my hidden service in that directory and my service port is that, 8888 above. So yes, I am running my apache on that port. You can do port 80 or anything you want. I just like it that way, nothing fancy. I just like it since few years ago Skype is messing with the port 80. Stupid Skype!
Now on that directory, it creates a hostname and private_key files. Open the hostname file and copy the contents. Paste it in your Tor and viola, you have a running onion site. Now spread to your friends. It could contain something like this inside your index.html in your root htdocs directory.
<h1>Envy you, friends Romans and countrymen. I have my onion site running!</h1>
You can also host your awesome website in there. Like selling drugs, who knows. Good luck you all!!!
