[ SEZ · SAFE-HARBOUR REGION ]
Offshore hosting in the Seychelles
maximum legal distance, at a latency cost
The Seychelles is the furthest thing from a United States court that NoDMCAVPS operates, and the trade is explicit: you buy jurisdictional distance and you pay for it in milliseconds. For archives, backups and bulk storage that is a trade worth making. For an interactive application it is not.
What the law actually says here
Seychellois law has no notice-and-takedown machinery and a long corporate-privacy tradition. There is no domestic route by which a foreign copyright complaint becomes an obligation, and no local safe harbour for an operator to lose. Enforcement against a Seychelles host requires a Seychelles proceeding, which is the point.
What Seychelles is good for
- Encrypted archives and long-term retention
- Bring-your-own-key vaults where nobody should be able to read the array
- Anything where latency genuinely does not matter
What it is not the right choice for
- Interactive web applications — the latency is felt
- High-throughput distribution: transit is the most expensive on this list
Latency
Around 90-130 ms to the Gulf and India, 150-190 ms to Europe, 250 ms and more to North America.
Available here
- DMCA-Ignored VPS — from $4.50/mo
- Offshore Storage — from $8.50/mo
Pair it with bring-your-own-key encryption. Distance plus a key we do not hold is the strongest arrangement we can offer.
