However, this is a privately owned site. Why do owner have a duty to host such material if it conflicts with their values so severely?

Among other things, they are bad for business - driving away advertising revenue. Now that can't be good!
That's interesting, my only source of "information" regarding this subject is this thread. The OP read as if this were a government action, however, from your post it appears to be a business ethics decision (on a charitable interpretation) and not driven by any government initiative.

On a side note, advertisers might not mind a hosting service with fascist connections, in their quest for sales niche markets are desirable - so if the hosting service is associated with white supremacy they'll just target that audience - presumably with ads for survival gear, guns, and sunscreen.

Why is the anti-fascist movement a terrorist organisation, according to you?

And, do you think it's worrying or not worrying that we need an anti-fascist movement at all?
