Contabo definitely is not DMCA free.
Contabo is fine, if you use it for normal (legal) websites, services.
I think Contabo and Hetzner is the wrong choice if you want to be protected against DMCA.
Contabo never was offshore. What demands in the end is Terms of Service and Acceptable Usage Policy if is listed there that is not allowed. Then is not allowed.
We Alexhost we are offshore take a look in our website...
That's true. I guess for true DMCA-resistant hosting one should look for Panama, Russian or eastern European providers... unfortunately these providers are often slow
You don't need to look for Panama. In fact Panama is expensive and most servers are slow due to ping. And they aren't true "offshore" at all. Only for banking and companies accounts and register.
Moldova is a great country (is not because we are based there) but Moldova is close to EU countries but is not a part of Europe. GDPR is not mandatory.
You can take a look in our Hosting. Our name in the forum says everything. Google it.
I was with AlexHost for a yeah and they were great, I had no problems whatsoever with the package I had which was mini lightspeed. I ran a themes and plugins site, I highly recommend them
Hello, Dear Zeaks
You can upgrade your package when you feel and when you need. Thanks to recommend us. Feel free and you're welcome!
And you are already using the Litespeed cache plugin for wordpress? It is great usually with our litespeed packages, great combo (optional to use)
All-in-one unbeatable acceleration & PageSpeed improvement: caching, image/CSS/JS optimization...
wordpress.org
Litespeed Cache is a great bonus and plus.
Best Regards

bangerbag.com feels a bit shady... I've been running VPSs for more than 12 years and have never encountered a provider who charges for linux (or even wordpress)...
We never head about that hostings. Please use hostings that have real network and own datacenter and network.
We don't charge for Linux in our VPS or Dedicated Server. You must consider switch to another Provider.
For those who are looking for offshore hosting search for "Alexhost" in Google and take a look in our offshore plans.
Any company from any country can accept DMCA or ignore it depends of the company choices and laws in the country. But DMCA is not mandatory in Europe.
We are a offshore Provider (excepto shared hosting yearly plans which aren't offshore)
Have a nice day to everyone!
Alexhost
