PRISM doesnt concern you at all?

If it doesnt, then I guess US providers are fine. Otherwise I would pick another country where the government cant simply tell your ISP to give them your data.

It does concern me actually, RamNode is operating elsewhere if I recall correctly. And there is a great smaller VPS provider operating in italy called prometheus (I think).

I would host here in Chile, but we don't have VPS providers here.

I can only find information about them being in two US cities (Seattle and Atlanta) on their homepage.

I would go for Netherlands VPN's. They have strong privacy, very fast networks and no gestapo government.

I will take a look to VPSs in the Netherlands... not a bad idea. Would have to look for great latency though.

This is prometheus (Italy) http://www.prometeus.net/sito/

Also, for a link of Cheap VPS providers in the Netherlands http://www.lowendbox.com/tag/netherlands/
Question.. if an offshore VPS provider has servers in the U.S. can the offshore VPS's be taken for search and seizure by U.S. Government simply because part of their business operates within U.S. borders?
