Isn't that concealing information from your customers which, to me, is fraud. If you want to conceal info from your customers and make them believe you have big datacenters all over the world, then fine, but the hosting industry will kill you off very quickly if you do
Wouldn't a better option be to go buy a server and colocate to a datacenter? What happens if there's a powercut in your area? Lightning strikes? Fire? Someone breaks in? What you gonna do then - make an announcement on your site: "Sorry, but my house got broke into last night and my server was nicked, sorry, but I'm just a guy who has a server in my basement and like to call myself a web host"?0

I would have to agree with will7, starting a web hosting business off a server at your home isnt a good idea, the service that you'll offer wont be reliable and all you will do is damage your name on the long run, I suggest you colocate a server.

What is The Diffrents if i put the Server in my home or just give it to any company colocate nathing they will put it in the Cold Room and that is all ..
well the truth is about the Company is you dont no who u can trust they will Steal your Databse and share or sell it for other company i think u know what i mean .. this is the one problem
many company do this .. i dont need to go and talk more about this.. but this is one of the reson ..
so the only Problem i have is in my cauntry is not Allow the Adult website and i have host for 2 website who run Adult .. and i dont need to share my info to get more Troble so i ask how can i hide my Info etc.. i know there is a website who did this already ..
Sorry about my bad English0

I'm sorry, what is different about a house and datacenter?!?!?!?
Read the bottom of my post. There is so much stuff that could go wrong at your home that you could not handle!
Blackouts, lightning strikes, fire, burglary etc. Datacenters handle all these with things like backup generators, instant fire extinguishers and 24 x 7 x 365 security.
Not to mention the server overheating! You'd need to keep it in a cool place, one thats constantly cool which would be hard to find in a house but in a DC they have devices to control the temperature and keep it at a level which protects the servers.
To get all the stuff that a DC has and put it in your house would cost, literally, millions of dollars. Not to mention you'd need a damn big house!
Also, do you really belive they steal your databases? Maybe some of the tiny ones do, I don't know. But, say, The Planet, a world-reknowned DC, why would they bother? They wouldn't! Just colocate to a large DC and you'll be fine.0

If that's your attitude, I wouldn't like to be your customer ...
There is a *BIG* difference, hosting your site from home is totally different to hosting it in a datacentre - and people will notice the difference, especially when the power goes out, and your Cable/DSL line has been maxed.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to be his customer either Dan! I don't think he quite gets why, though, lol. No matter how many people tell him, he'll probably do it, screw it up and then come complaining to us saying no-one told him. Heh.

1) Rent a dedi, or colo, in a DC located in the western world.
2) Don't bother, just buy some games, and entertain yourself a different way.
I really recommend you go with option 2, because if you're not allowed to host adult contents in your country, I sincerely doubt you'd be allowed to access them in any way (as your ISP probably blocks the majority).0

This will cost you about $10 if you register your domain with Hostway.

Well he can't hide it even if his whois information is ok, unless he is able to get some ips's from an upstream provider with dedicated links, he will have some cable or home internet ip.
Plus he is starting off trying to be deceitful with his customers and has no idea why there is a difference between a home and a datacenter so I just have to ask why I or any of us are wasting our time posting in this thread. Clearly he will be out of business shortly after his mom plugs the vaccum in.CloudNexus Technology Services

I would recommend to everyone - NEVER use your DSL or Cable connection to host websites that pay for their hosting. It's fine if you want to do it for a learning experience but for real web hosting? No way. There are so many reasons why you should not do this and when you weigh things out, it is worthless.

So, you try to do something illegal and come here to ask people to have a way to cover it? Obeying law is just a start of business.

I would love to know how to conceal where the website is hosted too.
Whois the owner/registrant info of a domain can be private but where the webiste is hosted will show.
It is okay to host paid clients on a server located anywhere including the closet as long as the client is aware and willing. It is definitely not a good business model for a web-hosting company, hosting as hobby for friends and acquaintances if they are aware should be fine.
Although I am not ignorant that nobody will steal your data in a dc but honest dc and staff will not do it, they just don't have the free time to do such things.
A client actually wanted me to host their site on my server at my home due to the same reason as yours. It is their very legal normal ecommerce site with customer info. After lengthy discussion, I managed to convince them otherwise.0

For the most part, its impossible to hide where a server on the internet is.
As far as registrations of where things are, thats easy but pointless.AppliedOperations - Premium Service

I find it very hard to believe that a respectable company would steal your information... after awhile people would figure it out and it would be all over the internet.
Hiding your buisness details from customers does not get you customers (I've been a customer, and I'm sure many of the guys on here have), and if I can't see all the information clearly, then it's a definate no!
Plus, I wouldn't want the FBI or a foreign equivalant to knock on my door and tell me I'm going to prison for hosting illegal websites.0
