Wait? How is Cyprus supposed to be a weird place to incorporate?

I suppose Delaware is weird too? It’s not like anyone is actually based there.

>looking at this in terms of the risk that a VPN provider presents to an ISP's reputation, IP space

None, because you obviously make the VPN provider bring their own IPs. And even if you don’t? Just block email and the IP reputation issue is solved.

>attracting unusual volumes and numbers of DDoS, etc..

This has calmed down so so much over the past years.

> fail to do that at your own risk.

Not much risk at all as long as you make them prepay their bills. Nobody is getting depeered because they offered colo to a sketchy VPN provider.

Literally nothing can happen, the big ISPs do not give a single fuck about this.

(I don’t have any involvement with VPN nonsense, but do have extensive experience with “bulletproof” hosting)
