Sweden.
As a swede, I’m obviously biased. But, it’s the largest of said countries, and there’s very good infrastructure (both Facebook and AWS have built datacenters here).
When I hear AlexHost personally, I think of skids. So I wouldn’t touch the offerings. You probably could turn that around, but I wouldn’t want it to take @jar a few minutes to find a bunch of phising sites and similar shit all over the subnets. As long as your profiting off of shit like that, I won’t be a client.
I appreciate that it’s hard to keep shit away, but developing an automated system that’d find what @jar found isn’t hard.
On a final note, very interesting to see that the majority of users on here, just like me, care more about not having to worry about bandwidth usage compared to actual speed of said bandwidth.
I believe 10 Gbit with strict TB limits, and after the limit is hit, no shutdown or overages but instead by then very limited bandwidth speeds (like 10 mbit/s or something) is the best model that there is.
And to be clear, yes I was wrong about something I previously accused Alexhost of. No I'm not wrong about this. I just want to be clear that two things can be true.
Also, Sweden is great for anything controversial, which I guess is your niche.
Sweden had the world’s oldest law for freedom of the press and freedom of speech, that became part of our legislation back in 1766 (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_Freedom_of_the_Press_Act).
But, it’s not a safe heaven for shit. Phishing, copyright infringements, etc, are generally dealt with far more efficiently compared to less developed countries.
Might want to keep that in mind IF that’s your clientele.
I wonder why did you edit this comment from being overly confident and again accusing them of criminal activity even saying saying "sue me", to this.
Seems like you write first think later eh?
No experience with DMCA on their CDN/waf/proxy/whatever, but on their dedis you could get away with ignoring DMCA in EU.
Sue me, you positive argument for abortion.
lol
Difference between us is, I make strong accusations but I have evidence for them - you don't.
I literally posted my evidence, not my fault if you’re too stupid to have an eye for it.
ptr is evidence? have you even checked if the data is up to date and it wasn't left there by previous user of this subnet?
HE data is stale.
For someone who knows what they’re looking for and has seen this shit before, yes reverse DNS for spam domains and tons of phishing domains pointing to a hosting provider’s IPs is evidence of heavy abuse. You don’t see that on providers that don’t have heavy abuse. That I can close my eyes, throw a dart at any of their ranges, and find the same thing almost every time is evidence of rampant unchecked abuse. Any experienced security researcher or admin in this industry will look at that and tell you the same thing if they’re being honest. Shill and gaslight all you want, facts won’t change to accommodate your fangirl attitude.
I could unblock their IPs and grab logs of the spam, but I’m not subjecting my customers to that again just to prove something to an LET ban evader. Me knowing the facts doesn’t stop you from enjoying their network, they’re just the facts. I’m a neighboring ESP, I’m allowed to not like networks that increase my workload and customer complaints. As a provider, I speak up for my customers in all venues. The state of the Alexhost network has caused complaints from my users. They’re a bad neighbor. I don’t know why you should be personally ashamed of it, but maybe that you take it so personally answers several questions before they were asked.
People have been expressing the same complaints about DigitalOcean for years, I don’t see them losing business for it, I blocked them a few years ago for the same rampant spam until they reached out and asked me to collect evidence to help them identify it (which I did, and they cleared up a ton).
As for me, I’m done with the topic and said what I came here to say. Unlike you I’ve no interest in further derailing their thread with this topic. Nothing I’ve said is going to cost them any business if their customer base is skids. I probably just advertised for them. None of this is as big of a deal as you’re making it out to be.
@jar your wish to abort @vaden was granted

Jar, we already had this conversation in other threads...
I think you're referring to what I referred to here:
Most of the abuse on your network, from my perspective, is newer than our previous conversations that I recall. But more so than that, the stuff you quoted was me talking to @treesmokah not you. All I wanted to say to you was back on page 1: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/3816682/#Comment_3816682
You're more than welcome to ignore it. It was simply a genuine and informed request from a neighboring ESP. It was @treesmokah who tried to blow it out of proportion.
I'm sorry to ask a dumb question, but I can't identify the "two things". Were there two separate claims? (I know we might not care to continue the discussion, which is okay.)
I connected dots between a spam only network that announces IPs at various providers with Alexhost. I was mistaken.
Then Alexhost organically became such a problem for my customers that I blocked their network. Two unrelated events, but a couple of fans of the provider would like to connect them for some reason.
