    They will send you notices about it but cannot do anything about is as its offshore.

    When they refer to "OFFSHORE Hosting" It is a word used for servers that are out of the illegal boundaries such as Amsterdam etc.

    What i mean is that no matter what host you have or in what country your website is hosted, then you'r in a risk to get in trouble! And IPB can always do something no matter where the website is located, it's not the website's location that matters. If IPB really want's to punish you for using their board illegally, then it is your location that matters.

    Some countries are just not so "into" arresting and stopping warez like other countries, take Malaysia for an example, everyone always think that they allow warez and warez linking, your wrong, they don't allow it, they just don't take it so seriously, it's not that many days since the Malaysian government shut down a big torrent website hosted with Shjinjiru.

    I wouldn't worry about it too much, untill the site get's LARGE or some hater reports it, you shall be fine on any so called "OFFSHORE" Host.
