I’m never hosting or dealing with any companies in Iceland. I had a run in with a hosting company there who was DoS attacking us from compromised nodes. I emailed them and they told me to get a letter from a local lawyer telling them to stop and they’ll look at it. In the end we contacted our DC provider and they dumped all traffic from their entire blocks.

A year later same attitude from a different one hosting a web site for Covid misinformation which was against their own AUP.

"I never host things at places where they let people host things. I only like places where they kick people off for hosting things, instead."
I don’t want to host from a neighbourhood with criminals in it. It makes me look bad.
What's your definition of criminal?
What the hell is that question?
Crime is a social construct
So, no AWS?
AWS deal with criminals quickly rather than blowing raspberries at you and saying go find a lawyer.
