Sorry for my delayed response - we got a sales team who can answer immediately if you open a ticket and ask your questions to them. As for myself, I am company owner, and I also attend meetings, exhibitions, etc, so I can't be on here 24/7 - I got staff for that, though I can't share this account with them, so all questions that require immediate answer should come in as support tickets. Here goes:
Question if I may.
So copyright not an issue, as long as the content isnt illegal? =)
Exactly!
What VPS package would I need to handle bursts of up to 5k users at a time. My pages aren't too heavy, just a couple kb.
Any of our VPS packages can easily handle that, provided you configure your web server (Apache, nginx or any other you choose to use) properly.
Hey. May I ask what do you do if you get DMCA take down notice from the DB? If your DB is UK they must respond to DMCA notices
DMCA is a US law and nobody outside US has to follow the DMCA procedure if they don't want to. All takedown requests must refer to the laws in EU, and even then - we have relays in Russia that we can pass the traffic through in order to avoid EU complaints as well. I may be repeating myself, but
no site has ever been removed from our services because of DMCA.
hey, do you offer cpanel on shared hosting accounts?
Not anymore. cPanel has some serious issues which I will not talk about. Their developers know about these issues but haven't provided a fix in several months.
This is along with some delayed responses in this thread make me warry.
It's obvidouse this operation is a reseller of some type. They promice no DCMA but United Kingdom has agreeed to inforece the DCMA. There are reports in news articles of this happening.
So promise something impossible knowing you'll never deliver on it.
I was wanting to give this a shot but there are OTHER offshore VPS hosting accounts that more reputable and have been around a while. I have a feeling that this data center will get raided and they'll just close shop and open up another one under the name Crocodile hosting or something.
Please see the beginning of my reply for an explanation why there was a delay with my response. To answer your questions:
1) We are not resellers - we own our hardware and our network. There's only one data center where we don't use our own hardware (for obvious reasons), and that is in Russia - the place where our relay network is. Also, we're a registered UK company - I don't see how we can disappear easily.
