If a local court order is issued. Will my backups and personal information be shared?
and I have a wordpress website , daily 6-7k unique hit. Which package should I choose?
Offshore doesnt mean that they ignore DMCA, and DMCA ignored doesnt mean that its bulletproof.
DMCA ignored Web hosting simply means you can host copyrighted material without the hassle of takedown notices.
But almost all of the DMCA ignored hosting providers honour local courts and law enforcement agencies.
trademark violations are also not covered under DMCA. so be careful in that.
You can host Movie sites in Bulgaria, Ukraine, Romania, Moldova.
The reason offshore hosting can ignore the DMCA is that the copyright holder is in 'overseas'. The hosting company can't do anything if they visit country or hire a local lawyer. This is why you should back up your whole data. If the copyright holder threatens the hosting company, you can solve the problem by closing the server and migrate to another offshore hosting in another country. This is how Pirate Bay and other giant pirate sites survived. They change server frequently.
Cover the ip with a CDN so that the server's location is not easily find, and investigate multiple providers. You should always have a plan for responding to emergency.
You basically have to find hosting in a country that has a no extradition to the US. If they won't send criminals to the US, then they likely don't care about US copyright law.
It won't protect you from local lawsuits, but it will be a basic protection from copyright claims. But with enough pressure a lot of companies will give in.
Make sure your domain is registered in a country and registrar that also doesn't care about copyright law. Register a .com or .net or .info won't help you. In fact the domain is usually what they go after because it's easier than going after the host. They just put a note in to the registrar that you're using it for copyright infringement and get the domain terminated.
It's why a lot of those video streaming sites have to keep switching domains every few months.
