There are many misconceptions about the use of offshore or out of country servers. While is true that some companies may use offshore servers to attempt to evade or avoid specific laws and regulations in their own country, this is no longer common. In reality, most of the countries where hosted servers are available are already using similar laws and regulations, which will still leave the website open to possible suspension, shut down and legal action.
In fact, the vast majority of companies using offshore servers are doing so because it is a more effective strategy to provide faster access to websites and to eliminate or greatly reduce latency issues. These can be practically notable with a server hosted out of these regions where there are multiple servers, exchanges and switches to get through for information to reach the server from the end-user and vice versa.
What to Know
If you are going to use servers that are located in another country, it is important to understand all the regulations, restrictions and requirements for websites both in your country and in the country where the server is located will need to be followed.
The top companies using offshore servers provide information about the locations of their servers. This allows you to choose a country with similar or identical laws to your country. It also allows you to locate the server with proximity to your markets as well as to the networking systems to provide the quality of connection required to effectively display your site.
Facilities
The major hosting service providers offering servers in other countries are careful to only use countries where the infrastructure is reliable and available to provide the speeds and performance that is up to their standards.
This includes having the correct server power supply, environmental controls and working in areas where the facility itself can be maintained to the highest standards.
