Better to not host with bulletproof providers on the web.

The higher the percentage of “bulletproof” claims in the thread, the faster the FBI will shut down that company

Guys, the email itself looks fake to me. Since when do police authorities use Telegram to make contact? They would certainly provide a phone number or an email address—in case someone were actually stupid enough to reach out to them. No government agency uses Telegram!

Regarding "hosting": I can’t confirm that the servers were poor.
And as for them following up on an abuse report... one should have simply asked their support team which servers were suitable and which weren't. That way, you would have received a direct answer as to whether a given server was truly offshore or not—because not all of their servers were offshore.

Yeah I received same mass email. I guess its just a email blast to all clients (active and former).

I worked for a UK company and I managed social media automation for them. (Jarvee and similar tools to promote own business)
Real business cc was used also. Real email adress. Plan was canceled I think 20months ago. So I guess this data was also wiped and overwritten

Simply, being a former client there is not a crime of course.

They know that many are just marketers, may some in grey zone, but this entire operation looks for real crimes.

Their servers were dogshit, tried them once, literally replacing IP's of the server like 3 times during one month. Outages lasting weeks.

No wonder that happened if they allowed CP/Phishing/Randomware, every business would drop them, ISP's would cut contact.

DMCA Ignored is one thing, because it really doesn't "directly" hurt anyone, but hosting such blackhat and illegal stuff is just asking for trouble.

Deleted doesn't always mean unrecoverable, and their server backups still likely have your data.

Even if your account was 100% clean, I'd lawyer up anyway if they keep pushing for info.

This is a good reminder to be careful when choosing bulletproof hosting providers. Always check the hosting company's reputation before using their services. Keep regular backups and have another reliable hosting option ready to avoid unexpected downtime or data loss.

Di you guys know any good dmca hosting provider?

Folks, don’t use those so-called "anonymous" or "secure" services. Just think about it: there’s no reason for them to actually provide such services. Either your data will get stolen, or it - along with the service’s own data - will end up in the hands of the FBI.

This applies to everything - DMS-off-hosting services, ProtonMail, Telegram, and so on.

Yes, the provider is called "use a proxy on your own server".

You guys are funny (all of you looking for a host that ignores abuses in 2026). Things won’t be the same as they were 5 years ago. Hosters will be shut down more and more often or turned into honeypots. No one’s going to put up with abuse on a direct IP. I know of one provider, but you probably won’t be happy with a price of $500 for a server with 2 cores and 2 gigabytes of RAM.
All you need to do is go to the Marketplace section of the forum and see how many “bulletproof” threads have been closed over the past 5 years.
