Ask Slashdot: Good Hosting Service For a Parody Site?

Posted by timothy on Sunday October 19, 2014 @03:46AM from the just-keep-backups dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Ok, bear with me now. I know this is not PC Mag 2014 review of hosting services. I am thinking of getting a parody website up. I am mildly concerned about potential reaction of the parodee, who has been known to be a little heavy handed when it comes to things like that. In short, I want to make sure that the hosting company won't flake out just because of potential complaints. I checked some companies and their TOS and AUPs all seem to have weird-ass restrictions (Arvixe, for example, has a list of unacceptable material that happens to list RPGs and MUDS ). I live in U.S.; parodee in Poland. What would you recommend?"

... check with Dice and see where they host Slashdot. That's a pretty good parody of a news site.
