Thanks, I'm currently using linode. They are all good services, until you don't cause any trouble. By saying trouble, I mean DMCA letter or simple subpoena and they will shut you without giving a second thought if this request even legitimate. It's not that my service will violate any of it, but I'm looking for at least fair treatment. And in this case DO almost the same as linode in my opinion.

If it's some sort leniency for grey area content - then that's a different topic. You could try offshore VPS's - but they're liable to pull the plug on your box on a whim, and for no reason.

Why not load balance the site on a tonne of different servers (by different companies) scattered around the globe? Build in some redundancy? Play whack-a-mole with DMCA takedowns?

I thought about it. When balance php servers will not be a problem, problem will be with database.
