    searching for hosters that are far away (Africa eg.)

    yeah , you read right...
    i am searching Web Hosting Providers in Africa or elsewhere
    like Bhutan , Côte d'Ivoire , Georgia (not the US one...),
    Bangladesh , Liechtenstein , Ghana etc.

    you know what i mean i think.

    Price does not matter , site must be in english and hosted in that
    country

    any help?

    What's your budget? Considering that you're looking for offshore hosting, it's going to be slightly more expensive than hosting in the UK or the US.

    ~50€ per Host (and more) is ok.
    we need ~1Gb Webspace , MySQL (50Mb),PHP5 ,no email

    Cybersmart is a DSL provider in South Africa. They offer some hosting services as well as DSL. The web address is http://cybersmart.co.za/. The regulatory environment there is a bit odd. Ie. If you host there you will pay a LOT more for international BW than in country only BW.

    Bhutan doesn't have a public datacenter. Microsoft plans on building a few though. North Korea is very hard for non-Korean people. They even don't allow cell phones so imagine getting a server there.

    Is this for speed? I am curious as to why you do nou use a Cloud such as EC2, Most Clouds have datacenters in several countries and all web traffic is routed to the nearest DC

    This brings the question, is it legal in the country you want to host in?
    What may be perfectly acceptable in the US may be illegal in other countries. China in particular takes a harsh view on both adult and political content while turning a blind eye to copyright infringement.

    Hi there,

    There are not a lot of web hosting companies from Africa on this board, unfortunately. There also isn't a lot of choices one can have down in South Africa. For example in Cape Town where I live, I only know of 2 datacentres that are decent enough to use. Also keep in mind that bandwidth can be very expensive compared to the US, etc.

    I can also assure you that illegal content will definitely be taken down here in SA.

    This is a web host in Bangladesh:
    http://www.host4bd.com/

    This is a web host in Ghana:
    http://www.web4africa.net/ghana.htm

    I have never had any personal experience with them so I don't how reliable they are.

    Sorry for being not very polite but Georgia is not in Africa. Liechtenstein is also very far from African continent. It is in the hart of European union. Your knowledge of geography compromises the web hosting research you are doing.
