    offshore hosting is considered to get hosting in a country in which you don't have to comply with internet laws, hosting in UK isn't offshore, getting hosting in Malaysia is offshore though

    Sometimes hosting further from you is good and bad. Good for other customers who live around the world but bad connectivity. Sometimes the connection is fine. But why do you want offshore?

    Yep. Well it's absolutely true.

    Why would an American, with an American audience, for example, want a server located somewhere in Europe or overseas? It makes absolutely no sense. Let's quadruple the ping times for absolutely no reason at all!! Yay!!

    Everybody here knows that offshore servers are sought out for illegal material and nulled scripts, whether they want to admit it or not.

    I mean it can be that they just want hosting in Europe, but my first thought is Warez.
    Offshore hosting means your site will be hosted in a different country to be able to use that countries law. Warez Hosting means hosting illegal files in the server like download links in the server.

    Offshore hosting can be used for meeting not very legal goals.

    Offshore hosting is good, since sometimes you don't have too much freedom to do anything you want, and because someone posted a link to a warez on your US hosted website, you may lose it. Offshore might give you a bit of more freedom to clean your site.
