nooknook Member

Thanks

    Offshore from where? For what purpose? How much money are you willing to spend?

  • Main question, why offshore and offshore from what?

  • Maybe Mr Billoh can set you up on one of his yachts ;)

    (Yeah, you need to be more specific)

    Non US-locations in Europe offshore in terms of DMCA non-compliant

    All non-US locations are DMCA non-compliant. Of course you still need to stay within the legal boundaries of the location. So it really comes down to what you want to do.

  • Privacy wise, I chose Iceland and Switzerland.

  • I think the best place as offshore is Russia, but Russian servers in general are expensive. Other good option is Netherlands, they are some what ok with offshore server.

    Yes but certain hosts even out of the US may sometimes be compliant... I was particularly looking at Belarus and Ukraine hosting, does anyone have experience with it?

    Yes but now that they have introduced stricter internet censorship laws it no longer is the haven it used to be...

    Mainly looking at: Romania, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova...

    True, I think there is couple of datacenter that really don't care about DMCA. I guess all others are pretty strict about it now.

    Romania is pretty good cheap and DMCA non-compliant.

    But thats a ToS issue and not a legal one.

    Have a look at edis.at, they cover Switzerland and Austria. Both somewhat lenient.

    What about http://vps6.net/ then? I'm not sure whatever they are reliable or not, but you might wanna look into them. They are with Voxility iirc.

    BlueVM had one space left and I grabbed it in Switzerland. AFAIK they're completely out of space now (I bought this about 7 days ago). I had to ticket in to ask.

    KVM (BLUE-3)

    1GB Guaranteed RAM

    3 CPU Cores (KVM)

    1 IP Address

    30GB Disk Space

    2TB Bandwidth

    $37/year

    I know, it's a damned killer deal ^.^

    Looks good, I assume there won't be too many decent providers out there. I could be wrong though.

  • Whichever DC EDIS use in Sweden

    I think Spain is safe too.

    What makes you say Sweden? I'm just curious.

  • @george said:

    A large majority of the providers in Switzerland are extremely highly priced (which is to be expected, of course).

    As for Sweden, I do believe that ther internet freedom is much worse than other countries. Don't quote me on that though, I could be wrong :)

    doesnt EDIS comply to DCMA regardless of location?

  • akz said: doesnt EDIS comply to DCMA regardless of location?

    Quite the opposite actually. Except for their US locations of course.

    For all others, no DMCA obligations.

    good to know, I was interested in one of their offers but their TOS at the time seemed to be regardless of location. Maybe I was just up too late lol

    I've got a containers in Russia and Switzerland specifically for privacy purposes. The Swiss one isn't the best, but the Russian one is actually really good for the price.

    BlueVM, one of the $15 specials. Not the best VPS I've had, but you really can't argue with Switzerland for a little over a dollar a month.

    @nook One more country that comes to mind is Czech Republic.
