    Hi,

    I have website that infringes copyrighted audio and video such as Live football streaming, Live cricket streaming, football highlights, etc etc.

    I am currently hosted at bluehost, And when any of the official emails them, they instantly disable my account until the material is deleted from the site. Which hosting shared hosting should i use so this isn't an issue any more for me ??

    I suspect you won't like my answer - but my advice, shut down your business.

    TV sports rights holders and governing bodies are perhaps the most aggressive of copyright holders when going after infringing companies such as yourself. You will struggle to find any hosting company that will back you up - after all why would they put their own business and reputation on the line for two small sites such as your own.

    I have no idea how much your business makes, but looking at the business model (i.e. Ad sense revenues), I can't imagine that the revenues (if any) can ever outweigh the risk.

    Do yourself a favour and work on a new business idea which is viable, and not prone to being shut down at any minute! :)

    Don't do it. Simple.

    I agree, the risk is just too high.

    Sites like these are better off as a hobby for people who have enough money to keep off the bloodhounds and to cover their trails.
