Epik, the Far Right's Favorite Web Host, Has a Shadowy New Owner


Known for doing business with far-right extremist websites, Epik has been acquired by a company that specializes in helping businesses keep their operations secret.

A local paper in Wyoming, The Sheridan Press, reported in August 2021 that scam business had been linked to the 30 N Gould St, where more than 20 registered agent firms claim to have their offices. Clues about changes within Epik first emerged in January, when the company terminated its relationship with Kiwi Farms, a notorious trolling site whose users are dedicated to perpetuating never-ending drama and misery. In a series of bizarre and now-deleted tweets, Epik claimed it suspended Kiwi Farms in response to a US court order and that the site hosted child sexual abuse material.
