Who owns the servers Al Qaeda uses for their jihadest Web sites?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) December 9th, 2010

Time to time on the news they say a new tape from Osama Bin Laden comes out on a site favored by Jihadest or an Al Qaeda recruiting Web site, but who owns the servers their Web sites run on? Al Qaeda sone have servers of their own I wouldn’t think, and no one from Europe or North America would allow them to use their servers. Who owns these servers and what location are they at?

@coffeenut In all honesty they did not host it knowingly and when they found out they shut it down. But there are Web hosters I am sure know that Al Qaeda is using their servers but they don’t care or even encourage and support it.

All the site I found were not “Al Qaeda” sites… they are disguised to look like regular everyday sites Ie: one was a Real Estate site…. I looked for 2 hours and did’t find anything that looked like a Al Qaeda site….so they may be out there but I can’t confirm it…
lol, and now the FBI are likely watching me

I’m sure the NSA knows and they won’t share this knowledge with us. Shutting down these servers won’t accomplish much. Alternatives are available.
