I can't find anything on their Terms of service about torrents.

However i would recomend you to contact, hetzner directly about it before you order the server, since hetzner haves a strict policy about abuse & complains.

You can also have a look at leaseweb go check their at Click me! & Click me! but once again i would recomend to have a chat with their sales first.

I think that torrent hosting is not allowed by Hetzner and everything else that is illegal. but if you prove that you will use the torrent hosting only legal purposes you can probably take it with any dedicated server provider...

please do not host with us, if the server will be used for illegal activities or for illegal content. Thank you.

What do you mean by offshore? Any hosting company which is located in a country other than yours could be considered 'offshore'. It certainly doesn't mean you can host whatever you want with them. NL and the rest of the EU has pretty strong anti 'linking' legislation.

What could be considered offshore in the traditional sense would be places like Ukraine and Panama. There you will probably be limited only by what the host considers decent (child porn or at the very least, pro russia would be a no no - they do have their standards!).

Ecatel is known as an exceptional host in this regard as despite being in an EU country, they basically just forward all legal threats to their spam folder.

Pro-Russia is not a real problem in Ukraine (depends n City, Kharkov is more pro-russia. so hosts there care less than for example in Kiev) - but Pornography is STRICTLY illegal in Ukraine (no matter if 18+ or Child porn, even Nudity is illegal).

Russia however is again another story, child pornography is not illegal (yes, really, look at Wikipedia) but Porn in general is illegal - so you can store legally every pornography you want on a russian server, but not share/sell or give it to other persons.

Different countrys, different laws - Iran and Vietnam only product Copyright (or work) from persons IN Iran/Vietnam (or from Iranians/Vietnamese).

I maybe write a guideline about the issues with different countrys soon, and post it somewhere on WHT if anyone is interested.

Well, as long as they only ignore DMCA it is fully legal, as plain DMCA has no (NONE, despite what other people say) legal point in Europe.
If they ignore court orders or letters from Attorneys in EU (created under EU/NL right and not US right, of course) is ofcourse not legal.

Who said he was hosting illegal content? Oh right, I forgot, torrents are only used for distributing illegal content, right? They've never been used as an easy mechanism of distributing legal content...

Maybe you should define what "private large torrent" means, I would personally have no problem with torrents, as long as local law is not broken.
