    Not really, they have zero legal chance to ever extradite you out of any sane country or make you pay shit.

    Four20 said: I needed one a year ago, for a small project (website that checks if a domain is blocked or not in SA), didn't really want to pay anything more than $10 a month. Obviously I didn't find any, so I ended up creating a small VM and started using it. Worked like a charm, specially since I already have a decent internet connection (FTTH).

    Yea, i also had the weird experience that Nashirnet was seemingly only half ass censored (sort of what people told me is the difference between educational/gov user and normal user, Iran has a similar separation)...

    What do you have, 100/100? Static IP? STC i guess (lol what else)? Would sell IPs to them (they pay good) but the process for me is... complicated...

    Yea 100/100 from STC. Dynamic IP though.

    Seems the IP shortage did get even into SA by now or they realised the security implications (ironically the ones of hosting content, not the one of getting content as tracking/censorship would be easier but hosting eg. dissident content on dynamic with state DNS censorship is very hard) of static IPs....

    Yea It's probably due to IP shortage.
    It's fine I guess, since mostly everyone would prefer dynamic IP over static any day.

    Yea, DDoS also an issue in SA (and the reverse in Israel) so dynamic makes sense.

    Yep. Not only that, but also for privacy issues.
    I mean look at all the databases leaks, even if someone was careful enough to use different usernames and/or emails, the accounts can be easily linked to each other by IP.
    That could lead to getting doxed, hacked/SE'd, etc...

    You dream of what at night btw?

    Sorry?

    It's a German saying he translated there, not sure about an English equivalent...

    Von was träumst du nachts?!

    So you might have missed the point. :D
    However, the closest I could find is maybe something like: "Not in a million years!"

    Good one, too!
    Guess it depends in which situation one would use it.

    Think of a guy saying: "Wanna hang out today at my place?" - Both could fit! :D

    ...and your forum nickname...is a marijuana reference...?!?

    I was under the impression that the Kingdom beheaded cannabis connoisseurs?

    I think that your only option is going with https://www.citynethost.com/linux-vps/ it's the only company in your budget

    Btw: Connection speed become awful there

    Wouldnt bother with citynethost, had some Saudi users run a traceroute a few months back (to their egypt node), all routed through france.
