Anyone Hosts in Switzerland?
 

Due to privacy concerns, I'm thinking of hosting in Switzerland where privacy is taken more seriously. Is anyone hosting in Switzerland? Any feedback, recommendations, good/bad experiences? I'm looking for dedicated, but semi or fully managed solution.

Thank you pic for looking at my thread :thumbsup

Bump for biz-related thread

I dont know can you even get hosting there,they have kind a shitty connections there,plus they have most expensive home internet in europe last time i check,so imagine how much would cost hosting even if they have it available.

Bump for this.

Nice,i suppose they fixed their infrastructure in the meantime.Also,does anyone know do they have same bullshit law as germany(where you need to verify age before loading page)or there are no any restrictions.

PirateBay, WikiLeaks & Me - we all use PRQ.SE

TRANSLATED: you want to steal content or do something illegal by US law and want to be protected.

Here's a bump for you.

in all fairness, in a time when a "Ron Paul" bumper sticker will get you labeled a terrorist... can't blame anyone who wants some privacy.

Here is another good one:

I looooooooooooove Switzerland!

nice country nice people :)

Very valid point.

I'm just busting his balls. Could be many reasons he wants privacy.

I run a very busy website that blows some pretty loud whistles. Not wikileaks, nowhere near as big, but with 2 million monthly users, 20 million pageviews a month, and shit loads of activity with some pretty eye opening submissions by members, the last thing I want is to have an FBI agent snooping around the server without me even knowing. I'll trust Iran before I'll trust the USA, the way things are at the moment. I don't find nothing wrong with taking steps to ensure that no unauthorised access is granted to the server or the logs :thumbsup

Can't seem to PM you but I have a list of privacy-minded non-US hosts... a few I have experience with and the rest come recommended. You got any contact details?

Nice gif, bump for u :)

For me hosting there is interesting for seo reasons(to get SWISS traffic more easily)

like this ? ;)

We have very fast connections here in switzerland but often very overpriced. It's better to host in the netherlands if you ask me.

Didn't the Swedish Pirate Party take over the hosting of TPB? and if I'm not mistaken the people originally running PRQ sold the company 2 or 3 years ago. I wonder if they're still as strict when it comes to the privacy of their users.

They don't host neither TPB or Wikileaks. At one time, some iteration of the company did. Both sites, and numerous others, left them. The current owners and staff are now just fucking downright thieves. I have seen enough evidence from a few guys to see that PRQ is now just a joke.

Utter bullshit. To reap the benefits in this so-called "free-speech haven", to thoroughly ensure your site is well protected in Sweden, you have to be a registered Swedish press organization. The great Swedish freedom of speech laws are all for Swedish press corps.

PRQ is suffering. Search Torrentfreak.com for "Sweden". Half a dozen stories on how the Swedish goverment is destroying PRQs lifeline: shutting down piracy torrent sites. This company survives on selling hosting to thieves of your content.

Boy-fucking organization? Chechen terrorist recruitment site? Apparently not anymore, you seem to have lost those customers too. So you're just into hosting porn stealing torrent trackers? Ah. Please, take my money!

PRQ works just fine, and it is still the best of its kind!

Don't know why You are so angry..

I think if You can't protect your digital work (pictures,movies,music,etc)- it is your own fault when people share it for free..

Instead of punishing people and beg governments for help and tougher laws, people who produce content should protect it better themselves.

support any good?

Ye, pretty good, fast and straight forward!

Too bad you guys don't do managed or semi managed hosting. Otherwise it sounds like something of interest. Maybe I should look for server management guy :helpme
