    Balticservers? Any experience? reviews?

    I heard, that in Lithuania you can hide everything. i am looking for a bulletproof dedicated server. In one forum i read about them, that they are working very nice, but i need to know more from their customers, who uses their services.

    What's about support, hardware, ect.?


    Thanks,
    Marko

    For what purpose will you be using the server? Can you give us more details about your "bulletproof" requirement?

    few months customer, 2 EKO+ servers.

    Everything is fine, very powerfull hardware for low price. But there no remote reboots, slower than other server setup time. Support is very friendly and helpfull. If you need reboot, just write them and they will rebot it.

    But they said, that remote reboots under developement.

    They tolerate customers, who get DMCA's. They just friendly asking to delete it, forwarding DMCA mail messages.

    My vote: 9/10

    Actually it would be quite easy to do. We are in Poland, huge bureaucracy as well, but apparently European Union has a line directly to various Police and Justice departments. I doubt that its different in your country, since EU memberstates have certain obligations.

    We had Lithuanian torrent trackers and police took all down without any notices. But if customer from foreign country, it may takes several months. We have never had any problems.
    Embassy, complaints, letters, departments, clerks, bureaucracy..........
    But we don't want to become bad of the bad hosting

    Why not?

    Trackers are NOT, i repeat NOT illegal - no downloads go over the server at anytime, so why decline hosting a tracker?

    I am sorry, but you are incorrect. According to both various national as European Union Iurus Prudentia and agreements, providing links to or facilitating direct search in any form, to (illegal) copyrighted content is not allowed in the European Union.

    No, they arent.

    Trackers dont provide any Links or anything else, and are used legally for various things like Linux ISOs - No one here said that we talk about ILLEGAL or COPYRIGHTED Data, just about TRACKERS, which are per se legal.

    This is why Justice departments all over Europe, shut down torrent trackers. This is why courts rule that they are illegal, because they are legal ? unfortunately, you are wrong on this one. Nearly all European Union countries take action on trackers. The only exception at this moment is Spain, but also this will change when EU regulation will be implemented.

    I am not wrong, you are.

    The Software itself is perfectly legal, and the usage too (just look at debian or ubuntu mirrors - they are spread over torrent... which requires what? right, a Tracker.)

    Again: Nobody here said something about any ILLEGAL Tracker, just "Tracker" - which implies the Software, which is legal.

    And not only Spain keeps them Online, also Sweden and Estonia.

    That statement is correct. However, the courts usually make a verdict, that the usage is legal unless the administrator of the tracker, cannot guarantee that it will be used to track illegal copyrighted content. So there the trouble starts.

    Sadly European courts are very dumb at Internet things (the germans on first position) - only the spain judges are not media controled and bribed by the industry yet (YET!).

    We will see what happens in the future.
