You probably want to add the Onion-Location header to the clearnet site so Tor Browser can automatically inform the visitor about it: https://community.torproject.org/onion-services/advanced/oni...

Good call, I'd missed that. Adding it now, thanks.

What is the benefit of building the same website twice with different hostnames instead of using relative links to content on the same domain?

Fair point. Very small things like RSS, canonical link or og:url or microformats use absolute URL

To make sure once in the .onion, you never leave the .onion

Besides accessing your page are random people able to use your server as an exit node? Am I thinking the right thing... I met someone in Switzerland that was hosting anonymous exit nodes to some anonymous network and he said that it was a pain having to explain what was happening to the police.

Running a Tor exit node is a manual process. Running a hidden service like a website, or chat server doesn't involve anything like that.

That'd be an exit relay, not doing that atm, just in case
