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's CEO, Martin Avila, has described the company as "absolutely ideological".[3]

It provided the original infrastructure for the Donald Trump-backed social media network Truth Social.[4][5]

In late August 2022, Fox Business reported that RightForge had claimed that it was owed $1.6M by Truth Social, and was planning legal action over the dispute.[6]
