Be sure to report any issues, performance problems are not ok
Nah, won't do it publicly as their competitor. Wouldn't be fair.
Sometimes, it's hard to remember that @Jar works for DO. I think he'd appreciate it on behalf of the company if you'd let him know (in a PM of course) of any issues so they can resolve them. ;-)
Dunno what you both imagined, but somehow I believe he meant simply "file a ticket when you have a problem".
I had no idea @Jar works for DO. This post has now entirely different meaning. I will be sure to report issues found, if any!
It could also be a B2B issue depending on your country and tax status, in some countries you are not required to be VAT registered unless your revenue is over a certain threshold. Of course if you are selling to other countries then you probably need need to be registered. It's a right old mess to be honest.
At least if you do e-services/intangible goods you have to be registered for MOSS. In UK to be registered for MOSS you have to be registered for VAT too, but you won't have to pay anything until you go over the threshold.
I would rather incorp somewhere like HK than forcing my customers to pay 15-28% more that i can't even keep then...
In theory you'd still have to charge Vat to EU customers.
And depending on way of operating, it might be considered fraudulent anyway.
In theory HK lawmakers and Beijing won't give a shit about EU laws...
Not if you also move out of the EU.
In theory tax authorities in EU countries can still take all your EU assets, most probably including money that would be bound for your HK bank account, until it leaves the EU, so no, it doesn't work that way.
Tax authorities of EU countries are enforcing this, not tax authorities of the incorporation country.
And stop doing business with the EU. Makes sense then.
Either way, I'm always happy to help anyone best I can. Tickets of course for official communication, but personal conversation can be of value too
What EU assets? Just don't have servers in EU, PayPal HK is a Singapore company (PayPal PTE LTD), Mastercard, VISA and AMEX are US companies - No money ever crosses the EU in your name/company, so there is nothing they can take.
There are many large ISPs doing exactly that currently, notably Yahoos DCs in HK, China and Japan, Linode (IIRC) etc. which all do not charge EU VAT at all and likely never will.
Yahoo, Paypal, Linode are all US corporations. It's not a question of if, but when they are compliant.
Same thing the US wants to do. Countries want tax money even if it's being spent on places outside the country. They feel that taxing it once is not enough. They need to tax it every time it changes hands.
But w.e
all VAT countries are in the EU sooOOOooOOoOOooOoOoOoOoooooooooooooo....
So it's time to start a 'middle man' business. I don't say it is legal, but....when there is demand, there is an offer.
From the recent comments you've posted today, I can conclude that you are by far the shadiest host I've seen.
There are whole countries of people like that. I see this attitude even in highly developed countries in smaller towns. Maybe it is human nature
Incorrect.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value-added_tax Not even only on European continent:)
You know what I meant. Please stop being a smartass for no reason
Didn't meant to offend you, sorry
Who mentioned mentioning anything?
No need to quote out of context. As quote said: "There will no smoke if there is no fire. "
It is just a 'competitor's game'. If you don't like your competitors, you'll ruin them 
If you have no supporting data on contacting how you "feel" to someone, it will embrace you to contact providers without evidence, cmiiw
@kcaj mobile dictionary thought it sounds better that way
. Corrected.
There is no human nature. There is an economic principle. But I agree, It is the same principle that leads someone to sell IP itself, even in a highly developed countries.
I knew I shouldn't have bought Heinz beans
First Vultr now DO...
And soon everyone else. That's the law, and applies to everyone.
