Donation Thanks…and some thoughts…

It was time to renew the WtR domain and we had enough donations to allow us to renew for two years this time. This is important and while not the biggest expense with WtR it is the most important one. We moved our domain to Russia many years ago and it has made all the difference in the world when it comes to shut downs and legal issues with the USA…

In America anyone can file frivolous lawsuits and never have to suffer for the frivolousness of such actions. The only way to stop the issues was to move the domain and remove it from western jurisdiction and it worked… 😉

In Russia and in Iceland you will not be shut down as a website just because someone calls your host and says you are a bad person. In America I have had my websites shut down 6 times now, because someone called and complained. I mean just complained that I might be a very bad person. You know! Evil terrorist type person who does not talk perfect about the American way of life…In America your site is shut off first then you have to supply the burden of proof that you are okay and you site should be turned back on. So because of that situation, Windows to Russia has had at one time 5 hosts to be able to switch back and forth on to keep it on line…This is stupid because I was raised that you are innocent until proven guilty, but anymore it is guilty until proven innocent. I never failed to prove my status as being acceptable and that I was wrongly shut down. I have always been complaisant and done all that I could to correct the issues that seemed to crop up. Issues that are fabricated by outside entities in the prospect of simply putting an undue burden on the resources of said website, to cause issues that will degrade the site to the point of being taken off line or worse…

The culprit was mainly the US Government and once out of its reach basically, they went away. They use all the millions of internet rules to file scrappage lawsuits (as I call them) against a domain they do not like….it mainly takes up time to respond to them all and a big issue is that a company like GoDaddy will block you in an instant if the USA Gov says to…

WtR: Starting to Recover from the hack attack… 😉

WtR, Svetochka and I are old veterans at fighting to keep a website going against all odds. It took awhile to find the best countries to house a site…
