Seriously. You're the best web host in the US, but...

http://immi.is/
IMMI official site.

The Proposal for the (now passed) parliamentary resolution at IMMI official site.

The Guardian's legal "experts" debate the significance of IMMI.

History of IMMI. Wikileaks founder was instrumental.

Youtube: "Professor Salvör Gissurardóttir of the University of Iceland joins The Corbett Report to discuss the Icelandic Modern Media Initiative, a bold set of proposals for reforming Icelandic law relating to whistleblower protection, journalistic source protection, protection from libel tourism, and other ideas that would help to transform Iceland into a global free speech haven. For more details on the proposal, please see the IMMI website"

She observes that the the same people in Iceland owned the media and the banks, and one day citizens "woke up and [their] world was corrupt."

Oh well, bummer.
I don't want to switch web hosts but I have to because of the Icelandic Modern Media Initiative.

Sorry FQ. I was actually hoping you'd look into this 'cause you're the best company I've ever dealt with.

Myra, sorry to see you in this situation. We appreciate the kind words, but putting up a server in Iceland is just not something we would be able to do at this time.

I understand Sheila. Thanks for your note.

Perhaps you could keep it in mind though and consider it for the future. Bogus "libel" attacks on certain forums in the US and UK, in conjunction with IMMI, make Iceland a good choice (in theory) for those interested in exercising free speech. I need to minimize our forum's vulnerability.

So that's the situation.

What is the bandwidth and latency like to the US?
