Thats the thing about integrity. You never know if someone has it until it is tested.

This same question could be asked about any hosting company that hasn't been presented with such a request.

I'd be interested in hearing about hosting companies that have, and that stood up to them.

The US is supposed to be a country of rule of law. They should need to get a court order.




Dreamhost has a reputation for being pro-free-speech, and there are some anecdotes online that support this. Their TOS are also on the more friendly side, from what I've seen. I've also been quite pleased with their hosting in every other respect.

(disclaimer: founder is an old college friend)


hosting companies probably don't see value in standing up to the govt -- lawyers are expensive!

how much would you pay for this feature?
