Ablative Hosting

From Hidden Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search


Ablative Hosting says it provides a v3 onion address but actually it gives you only a v2 onion address. And even the v2 onion address doesn't work.

Ablative Hosting needs several hours to make a v3 onion address. It supports Onion-Location header so you can see the ".onion available" icon when you connect your website's clearnet domain with your Tor Browser.


Signing up requires SSH key and password. It doesn't use ID. The website will give you your username automatically after signing up.

You need only your user ID and password. Yubico OTP doesn't be required. You can leave it blank when you log in.


SSH keys are used for logging into your servers via SFTP and cannot be changed! Your password will be only used for logging into Ablative.Hosting or the .onion.


Anti-replay key error

If you try to signup in Tor Browser with Safest Security Settings, this website shows the below error page.

There was a problem...
The anti-replay key was not detected (please reload the page and try again)

You have to set up your Tor Browser with Safer Security Settings.


The anti-replay key was not detected - To prevent automated bots every request that creates resources (signing up, creating a server, logging in etc) has a unique key that can only be used once (and times out), simply go back to the previous page and force reload it.


Go back and refresh the web page and go forward.

SSH keys

Public Keys: What you see

As you (a reader of this article) have probably already found out (hence you're here), SSH public keys are not standard OpenSSL keys, but rather a special format and are suffixed with .pub.

A typical id_rsa.pub will look like this:

ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQCba21UHE+VbDTpmYYFZUOV+OQ8AngOCdjROsPC0KiEfMvEaEM3NQl58u6QL7G7QsErKViiNPm9OTFo6HF5JijfWzK7haHFuRMEsgI4VwIYyhvqlJDfw/wt0AiVvSmoMfEQn1p1aiaO4V/RJSE3Vw/uz2bxiT22uSkSqOyShyfYE6dMHnuoBkzr4jvSifT+INmbv6Nyo4+AAMCZtYeHLrsFeSTjLL9jMPjI4ZkVdlw2n3Xn9NbltF3/8Ao8dQfElqw+LIQWqU0oFHYNIP4ttfl5ObMKHaKSvBMyNruZR0El/ZsrcHLkAHRCLj07KRQJ81l5CUTPtQ02P1Eamz/nT4I3 root@localhost


Making an SSH key

Open the terminal and type the below command.

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@domain.com"

If you don't write "your_email@domain.com", your user name and computer name of your Linux laptop will be placed there.


The output will look something like this:

Enter file in which to save the key (/home/yourusername/.ssh/id_rsa):

Type the new file name and place where it will be such as /home/yourusername/.ssh/my_rsa_key . If you don't write it, your SSH key will be placed at the directory currently your terminal is open and the file name will become id_rsa.


Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):

You can leave it blank and just press the Enter key.


"my_rsa_key" and "my_rsa_key.pub" files will be generated.

Clear domain and onion address

Get a free Ablative.Website subdomain & dedicated .onion

Our SSH128 service allows you to publish content on a HTTPS protected Ablative.Website subdomain of your choice as well as a dedicated v3 .onion that is automatically generated.

This free service provides 128Mb of disk space for publishing static content. Without dynamic language support (e.g. PHP) you cannot host, for example, a Wordpress instance.

We recommend the Hugo templating engine (which we use to publish blog.ablative.hosting)

Your Ablative.Website subdomain can only contain letters and numbers, the .onion address is generated automatically and we do not currently support the ability to "bring your own" .onion.

E.g. if you would like example.ablative.website then enter the word example below;

Ablative.Website Subdomain:


Making a clearnet subdomain is necessary and you can't avoid it when you use the free tier web hosting of Ablative Hosting. If you don't want it, you have to pay money.

MySQL and PHP support

Configure Instance

To enable MySQL or PHP support for your shared single hop instance please contact support@ablative.hosting and quote your instance ID;

We will be adding automatic update functionality in the near future

When will my server be ready?

Within 15 minutes you should find an entry on your dashboard under the "Shared Single Hop Accounts" heading.

LetsEncrypt is usually activated within 30 minutes.

SFTP with Tor

Ablative Hosting supports only SFTP. So you have to use SFTP with Tor to hide your real IP address.


  • How can you sftp over tor?

2018-03-21

https://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/16894/how-can-you-sftp-over-tor

Connecting to your server

To connect to your server issue the command (where AHnnn-xxxxxx can be found on your dashboard):

sftp AHnnn-xxxxxx@184.113.124.73


If you are not using Tails or whonix please ensure that you launch the Tor daemon and then connect via the SOCKS proxy;

sftp -o ProxyCommand='nc --proxy 127.0.0.1:9050 --proxy-type socks5 %h %p' AHnnn-xxxxxx@184.113.124.73


If you're using Windows you will need to use WinSCP;

  • Ensure 'File Protocol' is set to SFTP
  • Enter your .onion as the Host name
  • Set your username to be 'ablative'
  • Click advanced
  • Click Proxy (under Connection heading)
  • Set the Proxy Type to be SOCKS5
  • Set 'Proxy host name:' to be 127.0.0.1
  • Set the 'Port Number' to be 9150 if using the Tor Browser Bundle or 9050 if using the Tor daemon
  • Click 'OK' to exit Advanced settings
  • Ensure Tor is running!
  • Click 'Login'


Uploading Files

Web files (.html / .php) should be uploaded to the public_html/ directory.
