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.

        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

            Providing both a clearnet and a onion domain is not to protect the website’s privacy, but to protect the user’s privacy.

      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.

        That’s how I remember it as well. It was a frustrating mess of dead sites or sites that looked like they were created in 1993 and loaded with the speed of a BBS coming through a 1200 baud modern
