    Hey,

    I was looking for an offshore Registrar to avoid monthly DMCA's from an Anime Licensing company - and I heard rebel.com is good for hosting domains on, as they're situated in Canada, and don't have to apply to DMCA's? Has anyone used them? What're your thoughts on them?

    If not Rebel.com - can anyone tell me of a good Offshore Registrar to host my domains at? I need to move them ASAP. Thanks!

    Canada isn't offshore... LOL

    As far as I know, DMCA complaints must be dealt with out here in Canada.

    DMCA is an American law. Make sure your registrar and web hosting are outside the USA - but it doesn't guarantee that your offshore host or registrar won't comply with or act on a DMCA or other copyright complaint.
