>You can buy VPS from Amazon and host your hidden tor service there and Amazon guys won't have a clue until NSA guys will come to them.

Amazon can monitor what runs on their servers.

Encrypt filesystem. While technically they could monitor RAM traffic or even CPU instructions, I would be extremely impressed if they have necessary tools to spy on tor nodes.

They can see the processes.

It’s a server running on their hypervisor. Their hypervisor can see every single process.

TOR’s onion services. Someone should clone it and publish to the the Safe Network. Anyone can be the next DPR.

But isn’t an onion service just a server only accessible over TOR? What I’m asking is: where was the server? Who was physically hosting the website (either knowingly or unknowingly)?

Yes.

It could have been hosted anywhere. TOR isn’t a hosting service but a means to access them.
