It's all about the vps services now. I have a decent one, in a country with almost no threat of being taken down :)

Which service and where is it located?

I'm using bytesized hosting here: https://bytesized-hosting.com/

My server is located in Luxembourg.

True! But where are these other reliable ones? AT least which country? I still have a feel we should find a model to distribute our risks.

A new model for secure servers would be amazing. I wish that there was something like bittorrent for servers. No centralized server, instead clients grab data from each other. Some form of security to ensure the data is correct. Possible to find other users in this form, but no way to take the server down.

Quoting this from the other comment I made above:

Sounds like content-centric networking: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content-centric_networking

It's currently a research topic.

Ah! that's awesome, I've been thinking about this idea for years. I'm so glad that this is being worked on.

Thanks for the leads (also to hello_asdf on hosting provider).
