- * Hosting an anonymized site. This is usually the first thing that comes to
mind, and something we'll demonstrate in a sec.
- * Providing an endpoint Tor users can reach without exiting the Tor network.
This eliminates the risk of an unreliable or malicious exit getting in the way.
A great example of this is `Facebook
<http://arstechnica.com/security/2014/10/facebook-offers-hidden-service-to-tor-users/>`_.
- * Personal services. For instance you can host your home SSH server as a
hidden service to prevent eavesdroppers from knowing where you live while
traveling abroad.

Hidden services can be `configured through your torrc

but Stem also provides some methods to easily work with them...
