In January 2021, Parler was taken offline—not because of its policies, nor its users, but because it relied on companies that didn’t believe in its mission. Amazon Web Services simply flipped a switch. Overnight, millions of users were silenced. The world saw it as deplatforming. At Parler, we saw it as a failure of infrastructure.

That moment changed everything.

We knew that if Parler was going to survive—not just as a platform, but as a symbol of digital freedom—we could never depend on Big Tech again. Our solution wasn’t to beg for server access or create a fragile workaround. It was to buy the infrastructure itself.

That’s why today, Parler is not just a social media platform. We are the cloud. We are the CDN. We own the pipes, the servers, and the distribution network powering every post, every video, and every connection.

Parler’s mission is freedom. And freedom cannot be rented.

How Parler Acquired Its Own Cloud: Triton Datacenters

To secure the physical foundation of our future, Parler (under the ownership of Pulse) acquired MNX Global, one of the world’s most trusted enterprise cloud and colocation providers. Those data centers and bare-metal servers now operate as Triton Datacenters—the private, censorship-resistant cloud powering Parler and all its connected platforms.

This wasn’t just a tactical upgrade. It was a strategic shift. By owning Triton Datacenters, Parler now controls its own compute, storage, and global server network. We no longer rely on Amazon, Microsoft, or Google. No third-party can “pull the plug” on our servers.

From user content to backend systems, everything on Parler is now hosted on infrastructure we own, operate, and protect.

This is cloud technology, redefined—where security, uptime, and sovereignty are guaranteed.

How Parler Acquired Its Own CDN: Edgecast

Content delivery is just as critical as hosting. That’s why we also acquired Edgecast, formerly known as Edgio and previously owned by Verizon. Edgecast is a global Content Delivery Network (CDN)—responsible for distributing posts, videos, and data to users around the world.

Most platforms rely on CDNs owned by companies that can be pressured into throttling, censoring, or outright shutting down content streams. Parler no longer faces that risk.

With Edgecast, Parler now controls its own global content delivery network, ensuring fast, secure, and censorship-proof delivery of content, without third-party interference. Whether a user is in Los Angeles or London, Edgecast guarantees their content is delivered instantly and reliably.

We don’t ask permission to reach our users anymore. We own the network that delivers their content.

Why This Matters to Every User on Parler

In 2021, we learned the hard way that digital freedom isn’t just about policy—it’s about infrastructure. Parler was silenced not because it was wrong, but because it was dependent. Today, that dependency is gone.

  • No one can block Parler at the hosting level.
  • No one can throttle our content delivery.
  • No one can hold our servers hostage to political narratives.

With Triton Datacenters and Edgecast CDN, Parler has become one of the only social media platforms in the world that fully controls its cloud, its content delivery, and its destiny.

Freedom now has a backbone. And Parler owns it.

Parler: Impossible to Silence

We didn’t just relaunch Parler. We rebuilt it from the ground up. We acquired the infrastructure. We secured the network. We eliminated the kill switch.

Because the next time Big Tech tries to silence independent thought, they’ll find that Parler isn’t just a platform anymore—it’s an ecosystem. One that no outside force can shut down.

Parler is back. Stronger. Faster. Uncensorable. And impossible to silence.
