Netherlands or Germany VPS (Accept sign up from Iran)
- Thread starter newbie
- Start date
If you have a credit/debit card that works with Stripe (not sure since it's a USA based company), or have Bitcoins I can give you a deal. The UK (our company is based) does not have any trade sanctions with Iran as far as I'm aware. 
What payment processors have you used in the past?

USA based company (payment processor, hosting company, etc) = they can't accept any business from Iran due to sanctions but...
Stripe's UK operation is owned by Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd and the TOS is governed by the laws of Ireland. The bank processor is also non-US: Valitor hf (registered in Iceland). The Visa rules that apply are Visa Europe but the Mastercard rules are Mastercard US.
tl;dr contact StripeUK to verify the status of Iran for EU/UK merchants.

Not poking the lions here, but Iran sanctions seem to cover US + Europe.
If you are a provider in Europe please consult with competent legal counselor about the matter to make sure you are truly compliant.
If you are a provider in the United States, don't even think about it. Ditto if you are living in, a citizen of or based in the US. Same long arm might apply if you are say a European living in Europe but your business has servers/offers within the US territories and/or has certain threshold of customers who are US citizens.

This, you can easily violate local sanctions which are in place in many EU countries independently from EU/UN ones.
EU sanctions have been mainly lifted by now, but some remain in place.

Individual members (Ie, countries) may have different sanctions put in place, this is correct. However offering a service like this from within the EU to an Iranian citizen should not be an issue any longer. Seeing how the German government deals with this issue I wouldn't be too worried about offering our services on a case-by-case basis.
As Mike said, currently offering or trying to offer services from within the US to any Iranian is indeed a punishable offense. You may find some Q&A's here
