I have found the best webhost

~eeeek~ $100 a month for 1GB Disk Space and 30Gb Bandwidth...

No thanks! I think i'll stay on my unmetered disk space / bandwidth account and only pay a 10th ~wink~

Simple, almost no laws on what you can host whats so ever. Its a free zone, no USA courts can have a say on your site. For example, say a certain person starts a torrent tracker, which is illegal to host in the USA. Too bad its legal in sweden, so it stays up. This will work out great for my site, as its called "Blue Humor" which if you look at its wiki, well youll understand why. I need to be able to host questionable content, like 4chan's /b/ area.

And yeah MHW, its alot. But youre paying for having almost no rules, and for me anyway its worth it completly. Most sites wouldnt need this, but theres a good chance I will.
 
The reason why they have almost no rules is because USA and UK laws don't apply in Sweden, where the servers are located. This is the reason why they charge so much, because they know if you are going to use it, the laws (or lack thereof) will be put to use.

Its not illegal to link to them...and their legal page is worth a read lol -D-

Its worth it to me to get their hosting, as I dont feel like getting arrested or sued for anything on my site, which could very well ahppen at some point with my current plans. Its just better to play it safe.
 
But (knowing his TPB history, •Elochai• posts it 🙂 ) you may get the server stolen by foreign authorities.
 
True, but thats why you make backups. Its always good to have an admin in the hosting country as well, and to be honest me and one of my closest friends are about done with america anyhow. I knew I was going somewhere when I turned 18, and I guess ive found my place. I know its abig step but whatever, worth it.

TPB has had its servers taken once, and they had the site back online in a few days, no data loss.
 
I suppose it's worth it for having no rules...assuming you're into that kind of thing. However i'm a big fan of keeping rules, even if I don't have to. The way I see it, I live in the UK and here all that torrent business is illegal. I wouldn't move to a Swedish server because at the end of the day it's still illegal in the country you're doing it from, just that the server is located elsewhere. ~razz~
 
I like rules of course, but its a cool feeling to have knowing you can host just about anything you want to. Who knows, I may never need to host anything risky, but its good to know I can if I want to. More of a power trip if nothing else, but to me its worth the money and time (for the switch).
 
I suppose so. For example, I paid for unlimited space and bandwidth just so I can rest easy and know I won't be charged for breaking any limits. Just remember if anything illegal goes up..you aint promoting it here ~lol~ ~razz~

Well not illegal per say...see most of the jokes and funny stuff that teenage kids enjoy is legal, but I dont think Blue Host would like it very much. Im not planning on starting a tracker or anything like that (though what a thought...) or hosting free mp3's or CP (ewwww). As for not promoting it here...as long as the links legal, arnt I fine? I suppose a disclaimer would be in order as well at that point though, I can see it now;
*Warning, if you use this site you may do something illegal, and FP is in now way in charge of what you click on, so dont blame us if you do something stupid.
 
Keep the site legal its a pain avoiding piles of rules and running a server from a foreign country, when i ran a warez site the hosting sucked it was expensive because of where its based its not really worth the hassle, but its up to you..

If there's any adult content or illegal there then it still won't be allowed, disclaimer or none.It wouldn't be fair on the rest of people we've rejected who have tried promogint hat kind of stuff. ~neutral~
 
Ah, I see. Ive only seen one site rejected for that sort of thing since I joined, and it was for warez so I wasnt sure just how strict you guys were. Shouldnt be an issue though, ive got roughly two years to buolt up before the switch and then of course ill have the ability to get paid advertising elsewhere if need be -razz-
 
^Well I plan to switch to IPB powered software at the same time, so I wont need to transfer everything from host to host. I know you meant the host though, and thats fine. Have fun living under a TOS -😉-
 
Why would you pay that much just to host illegal content? Why would you need to post illegal content?

Everyone has theur reasons, and like ive said before, not everything would be illegal per say, but my current host wouldnt like it much. For example, if I made a download section, I couldnt have links to warez on my current host, I couldnt on theirs.

There are many reasons to host "illegal" content per say, but id need only use a handful anyway.
