This is how you run a Fedi website outside Us Jurisdiction.
mk.absturztau.be = Domain (.be) name is Belgium, while hosted in Switzerland, and the hosting provider is governed under the laws of Switzerland.
mastodon.au = Domain (.au) name is Australia, while hosted in Australia, and the hosting provider is governed under the laws of Australia.
Remember, Dot Com, Net, Org, Info, Us, and Edu is governed by the United States of America. Most word-based domain names, for example, Dot Social, managed by Corporations within the USA.

Looking for Canadian VPS or web hosting services?
I began exclusively using servers physically located in Canada since the Patriot Act in 2001. I've tried half a dozen different providers since then. Here are two I recommend:
4GoodHosting based in Vancouver [1]
CanSpace with servers outside of Montreal [2]
Aside from being a customer, I have no business or personal affiliation with either.

I removed, OVH from my list of recommended providers.
Why?
OVH previously only resold servers in the United States, with their datacenters and business offices overseas in France. Today, OVH is under direct Us Jurisdiction, even redirecting their traffic to their American site us.ovhcloud.com and their terms of services outline an address in the USA, plus they're hiring for their own datacenter in the USA, and lastly in the footer of the website it now reads, "Copyright ©2025 OVH US LLC"

Well, good news. I open a ticket with Scaleway, and everything is resolved.
The theory I have is I actually opened my account January 2025, 3 months ago, but I did not use it. Now, 3 months later, I logged in, and started to secure my account, add all my important information, and this could have looked suspicious. Still, it had my worried for a moment.

As someone who has previously been a victim of ID Theft, it makes me really uncomfortable that a web hosting provider would ask so much information, to approve your account, approve it, and then quickly lock it before you could do anything. I currently have no services with Scaleway (or any previous services). This feels shady.

Scaleway, ask for payment information.
OK. Submit payment information.
Scaleway, ask you verify payment method.
OK. You log into your credit company, find the code.
Scaleway, ask you to verify your ID.
OK, you show both the front and back of your ID, then smile for the camera.
Scaleway: "We noticed unusual activities on your account. Create a support ticket to unlock your account."
Seriously?

Man trying to shop around for a Canadian domain registrar is like wack-a-mole of problems.
Does anyone here have practical experience (or at least suggestions) for using an EU-based alternative to Firebase Hosting?
I'm talking about small, static sites that need to load fast. Ideally with a nice CLI experience (`firebase deploy`). Doesn't need to be free of charge.
From my limited research, Slovenia-based bunny.net might be a good fit, for example.
#Hosteurope will bei meinem Hostingpaket die eMails abkoppeln, in MS365 überführen und pro eMail-Konto separat abkassieren. Möchte ich nicht.
Wohin kann man sinnvoll wechseln? Ich habe dort 2 Domains mit insgesamt 4 Postfächern und bei Strato 4 Domains mit ~5 Postfächern.
Irgendwelche Tipps? Der Webanteil kann eigentlich sehr basic sein, kein großes Volumen, was da drüber läuft.

I'm probably going to migrate my website/email from Dreamhost to CanSpace; the previous front runner (whc.ca) seems to have ghosted me. They won't answer the question "Do you offer discounts if I pre-pay for multiple years."

I've never procured much hosting before (as I always tended to self-host or use tildes), so I have no experience in this market. Any suggestion considering my requirements is welcome!
Značku Hetzner budete pravděpodobně znát jako velkého německého poskytovatele serverových a cloudových služeb. Já jsem zatoužil vyzkoušet jejich klasický webhosting. Objednal jsem si nejvyšší tarif a pustil jsem se do testování. A kdy jste vy naposledy jste posílali kopii občanky pro zřízení hostingu? ;-)
