FAQ

Bulletproof hosting operations are similar to regular web hosting, however these companies are a lot more lenient about what can be hosted on their servers. It has somewhat of a “don’t ask, don’t tell” philosophy. Bulletproof hosting services are often found in countries with more relaxed laws about what type content is hosted on these servers, and also have less strict extradition laws, therefore making it easier to evade law enforcement. Due to the different laws in different countries, this creates a huge grey area that allow the owners to claim immunity to what their customers host.

Comparison of a conventional domain registrar and a bulletproof registrar
A domain name registrar is an organization accredited by root domain owners to create new domain names and extend the validity period of previously created domains.

Root domains are indicated by letters following the dot at the end of the website address. The most common – *.com, *.net, *.biz, *.org is the property of ICANN.

Holders of root domains that indicate belonging to a particular region usually interact with relevant government organizations.

After registration, the domain registrar gains access to the list of all root domains of the company-owner. From this moment, he can register the creation of a new domain or renew the existing one by 1 year.

The difference between a bulletproof domain registrar and a regular one
Modern realities require the owners of Internet resources more than just filling content and promotion in search engines. To get the most out of site visitors, entrepreneurs resort to aggressive marketing (spam, hype, compulsive catch-up advertising, etc.). For such behavior, it is easy to earn a complaint from a visitor to a web resource.

Also, copyright law defines strict restrictions on the use of other people’s content.

Any site can receive a complaint for:

fraud or fraud;
copyright infringement;
extremist content;
insult to the senses.
Of course, not all complaints are valid. Some of them are slender, commissioned by competitors. Others can be challenged by spending a lot of time and effort.

However, domain name registrars, as well as hosters, are required to respond to each complaint and block the attacker, requiring the site owners to deal with each application.

It is especially worth thinking about finding a registrar that ignores complaints when planning work using fraud, money divorce, pyramid schemes, and promises of quick money. Such activity causes a considerable flow of applications from dissatisfied visitors to this site.

To save yourself from unnecessary red tape, the owner of the Internet resource can register a domain name with a bulletproof registrar. In this case, the registrar does not block the site on the first complaint about it.

How to find a bulletproof registar
First, you need to find a site with a similar theme, and secondly, see whom it is registered with using the whois services. Moreover, thirdly, turn to him for the selection of a name for your web resource.

Keep in mind that an angry user writes not only to the registrar, but also to the contacts listed on the site, to the hosting provider, and Google.

Functional bulletproof domains provide registrars from Asian countries such as China and Malaysia. When negotiating with Asian registrars, they can ignore most complaints. In this way, it is possible to register bulletproof domains.

For extra money, some registrars may hide the personal contact information of the site owner. However, nevertheless, they have to inform the site owner of the complaints received with the requirement to solve the problem in the shortest possible time. It is necessary to clarify the nuances of interaction before starting cooperation.

Finding a company that has enough influence to be able to resist the system is not easy. In any case, the registrar is also at risk by entering into cooperation with an unreliable site. It’s best to search for a ready-made list of suppliers with their ratings and choose according to your preferences.

Conclusion
Thinking about creating your online project, you should clearly understand all the specifics of the upcoming work. If the planned activity does not imply a wave of negativity towards the owner, you can cooperate with a conventional domain registrar. If a stream of complaints is foreseen, it is better to ensure a quiet life for yourself by contacting a bulletproof registrar.

Offshore dmca ignored hosting.
DMCA – is the American copyright act in the digital. Adopted in 1998. It is an addition to the legislation on the protection of intellectual property on the Internet. The law applies to American companies but works worldwide through the use of the American Google service.

The law applies to such materials:

musical works;
videos
texts;
photos.
According to the DMCA, it is forbidden to copy and distribute materials, to post on the hacking tools for Internet protection of intellectual property. It prescribes penalties for violating it for owners of web resources, and at the same time, responsibility is removed from hosting providers for content that they have on storage.

DMCA in action
The copyright owner has noticed improper use of his product on the Internet. He sends an application to block an unauthorized source. A host or search engine can block the URL of one page or the entire site.

For a strong reaction to the application, it must be correctly composed, taking into account all the requirements described in legitimate claim. You should specify a link to the place of unauthorized placement of content and all known requests for which Google issues this material in a search. Further, the provider blocks the resource indicated in the application and informs its owner about the reason for the ban.

When you enter a query in the line of the search service, instead of a previously available pirated resource, a notification is displayed about data deletion at the request of the copyright holder (or DMCA Protected). You can try to challenge the sanctions by sending a response request to Google. If the content is alien, you can use it by paying the amount claimed to the copyright holder.

Of course, with the advent of restrictions, ways to get around them also appeared. More on this below.

Offshore hosting
To place someone else’s content without the risk of blocking the site, search links or page URLs, the owners of the so-called “gray” sector use offshore hosting.

The essence of the idea is that a hosting company is registered as a legal entity in the offshore zone of one state, and physically locates a server in another country. And provides services for storage of information at the place of registration. Thus, the provider does not fall under the jurisdiction of the country of registration and can avoid all the sanctions provided.

The concept of offshore hosting intersects with bulletproof. However, the hoster, in this case, can ignore only complaints that are not prohibited by the law of its jurisdiction. Alternatively, in general, all complaints are at your discretion.

According to the server parameters, the quality of the services provided is not always high, and rental prices are much higher than law-abiding analogs. Also, if the plaintiff still obtains a court decision, the owner of the offshore hosting is forced to provide access to the client’s files.

Conclusion
The time of high technology provides ample opportunities for conscientious conduct of business on the Internet and active shadow activity. The only thing is that you have to get confused and pay a tidy sum.
