Is there such a thing as RELIABLE offshore hosting?

    I have a movie site and a TV site that require offshore hosting, but every one I've tried so far has an unacceptable percentage of downtime. I dont mind a few minutes every once in awhile, but this has been hours every week and my sites are suffering because of it.

    I've tried 6 different hosts and the last 2 were just horrible. Both sites are down as I type this and it's frustrating me. Does anyone have any suggestions for reliable offshore hosting for movie sites?

    Do you have any space and bandwidth specifications? And what about a budget?

    There is no such thing as "reliable" offshore webhosting, considering that there is not one single country that allows you to host warez, based on this, you may be shut down at any given time without any single warning, not to mentiond that you risk the fact of getting the authorities on your neck.

    There is indeed some great offshore host. The worlds first true tier 4 DC just opened overseas. What you might want to look into is renting a dedicated server from one of these DC's.

    Yes there are good offshore hosts,but premium offshore hosting is expensive,i suggest you get a shinjiru dedicated server,here is the site: http://shinjiru.com/
    They offer fast support and their speeds are really good,they are totally offshore,so i think you will have no problems.

    Shinjiru is located in Maylasia, so people from the Europe has very slow connections towards their network.

    Sweden are going trough a major trial right now because of ThePirateBay, 2 HUGE private networks in Sweden has shut down because they are afraid of legal actions if TPB loose, how safe do you actually think that Sweden is?


    Largeserver.net is reselling from Shinjiru.com, so it's kind of pointless to pay a higher price with Largeserver just to get a service from Shinijru, did we mention the middle man?

    Here is one that is not only reliable but also has a very dependable service administrator that answers any of your questions thoroughly and efficiently. Usually within the hour. Has onshore and offshore( Netherlands) hosting packages that allows warez linking. I am using it and it is really fantastic.

    Hi,

    I would like to point out a few thing:

    1st, we are not a reseller of Shinjiru as we completely owned the hardware and the network we sell.

    2nd, we are a registered offshore hosting company in Malaysia so there is not need for us to resell from others when we can provide our own services.

    Thank You.

    Hi C'lown,

    No, we wasn't reselling from Shinjiru however our packages look alike with them. Due to this, we have now restructured our VPS Plans to stops people from thinking we are reselling.

    Thank You.

    That is simply un-true statement whereby we owned the hardware and the services.

    Thank You
