[mtwiscool]

Getting country blocked by default?


Only point I can think of.

 

[mtwiscool]

is they some things in law why people use iran like offshore.

Any links to provider in Iran?

Only point of VPS in Iran for most folks is to break the embargo/violate laws.

I've beat the horse on this many times.   At last check if you live in the US or EU or any country that bows thereto, you aren't allowed to take money from or give your money to Iranians.

If you want to offer free services to them and they want to in kind offer free to you, then likely is legal.

If you must partake in law breaking:

If you're an Iranian business and are selling to locals then it makes sense to host your VPS locally in Iran.

is they some things in law why people use iran like offshore.

Copyright laws.  Iran is one of ony a handful of countries that isn't a signatory to the WIPO copyright treaty or the Berne Convention on copyrights and so there is no penalty for violating the copyrights of any non-Iranian owned intellectual property.  If you're from a country that is a signatory to copyright treaties though you're still subject to your own country's laws and hosting your pirated material in Iran isn't going to prevent you from being sued by the copyright holder.

As DrMike said, it's probably their way of trying to be "competitive" in a market/location that's geared against them.  If you live in the United States then here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanctions_against_Iran

The United States has imposed an arms ban and an almost total economic embargo on Iran, which includes sanctions on companies doing business with Iran, a ban on all Iranian-origin imports, sanctions on Iranian financial institutions.

You purchasing a service from an Iranian VPS Company = You doing business with them, which is illegal.  Just wanted to get the link in here and to be clear about this

i'm from uk.

https://www.gov.uk/sanctions-on-iran

it appers to be oil or gold including mecinces to produce them.

but as they say you will not get help deailing with iran.

so it looks like it might be legal in uk.
