Although I specifically asked about hosting companies (meaning shared hosting), I am thankful for the info about how others on the list tackle the problem I was trying to solve using VPS, etc. If that's the common way of doing it, it's probably a better way than what I was imagining.

Gotcha. I guess I missed where the OP said shared
hosting. :(

Most shared hosting is conditional based on the FQDNS of
the resource.

Some back-end hosting panels (namely cPanel, among
others) validates the existence of the domain using the
server's own DNS resolvers

This makes it impossible to host OpenNIC domains on
shared-hosting servers that don't explicitly allow (via
whitelist or DNS) OpenNIC TLDs

Oh wait, my last comment was wrong! I was talking about
DNS but I see now that it was about hosting. As far
as using an OpenNIC domain on a host I seriously doubt
there's any that don't. They give you an IP and it's up
to you what you point at it.

Hmm. Maybe we should make a wiki page of web hosts
that allow OpenNIC domains, might be useful
information to some.

I tested out adding a .geek domain to
NearlyFreeSpeech.net and it seemed to work fine. I
don't have any registered so I can't actually test
right now. Would just cname to the internal name
they give you.

Perhaps you could consider buying a VPS and doing
it yourself? It isn't  

that  

much more expensive than a hosting plan and it
provides a lot more in  

terms  

of flexibility and reliability. As low as $5/mo at
DigitalOcean.

I was thinking of providing hosting services
for .o users but I don't  

have  

anything setup yet, or else I'd suggest that, ah
well.

You're not going to be able to use Let's Encrypt
with OpenNIC domains,  

they  

don't support our namespace.

I tried to get DreamHost to manually add my .o
domain, but in January they said they won't.
(I've been too busy to investigate further until
now)

Does anyone know a hosting company that will let
you use OpenNIC  

domains?  

Bonus if they allow/facilitate Let's Encrypt SSL
certs.
