Uggh, monthly recurring Bitcoin payments sounds painful. Nah. 

Maybe not a good idea then with online.net. they seem to offer vps' in Paris and Amsterdam and I have no idea what their LE would do when handed my info. So forget it. 

Ok, any decently priced unmetered providers with servers in the US? I am in the US.

I'll check out the csv someone mentioned as well. Thanks.

They also just added this response:

Hello,

Thanks for providing us more information about what services you're going to use in your server.

By the way, it is very difficult to give you an exhaustive reply in advance, there is not a full text explaining what can be considered as illegal and what legal instead.

But we ensure to apply the EU law as general set of rules, and the French law as specific set of rules.

Besides, it is impossible to give you all details about that unfortunately.

Finally , regarding the exit policy, it depends on the abuse and our security team treats case by case according to the specific abuse committed. 

Best regards,
"

Thanks again everyone.
