RightForge

RightForge is a conservative American limited liability company aimed at providing internet hosting for conservative causes that describes itself as "The first global Internet infrastructure company committed to American principles online".[1] Founded in 2021,[2] it aims to provide "cancel-proof" hosting services. The company is closely aligned with NetActuate, owned by CEO, Mark Mahle, a right wing free-speech advocate, who provides the majority of their internet transit, hardware, and is a board member along with his wife.[3][4] The company's CEO, Martin Avila, has described the company as "absolutely ideological".[5]

It provided the original infrastructure for the Donald Trump-backed social media network Truth Social.[6][7]

In late August 2022, Fox Business reported that RightForge claims that it is owed $1.6M by Truth Social, and that RightForge is planning legal action over the dispute.[8]
