Need some advice

[dima1236]

Hello Guys & Girls,
I need some advice for my upcoming project,
I am looking to start warez linking site with links to some filehosts ( the script is 100% done and functional).

Now i got some questions i hope someone can answer and help me out

1) Where should i get the domain ? should i just buy it with my PayPal and use WHOIS privacy ? is this really enough ? anyone here want to sell me domain ?
2) Where should i place the server ?
3) What are my chances of getting into some serious trouble ?


Thanks alot

For such sites I would make following: Take one hosting and use it as backend, this means that all you content will be stored there but your IPs will be pointed to another provider (frontend). So you take two services: hosting and one Virtual server and on your hosting you put IP of your Virtual server. In this way if something happends you will be able to order another Virtual server somewhere else and just witch the IPs. This will protect yourself against hosting deletion. As frontend try to contact Ecatel, it's netherlands company, they are rather loyal as I know.

1. Get your domain from an offshore registrar like binero.se or Key-Systems. As long as the registrar is not located in the USA you should be fine.
2. You can place the server anywhere you want, except for USA, France, Germany, UK. I recommend you starting in the NL as it's the cheapest country available.
3. Depends on yourself.

Thank you for your reply, i just tried ordering via binero.se but i can't seems to see if they have protect whois of some sort, they don't advertise it anywhere on their website, do you know if they have it ?
Will surely go for NL, and what do you mean depends on yourself ? what can i do the best to stay as safe as possible ? obviously this sort of sites attract much attention.
