Elitist, Racist AND Dictatorial Country Restrictions

[Sharky]

Have you considered permitting registrations from those countries after receiving more information such as why they want the account and different assurances? Make it take time to do and not a quick 5 minute automatic setup.

I would think that the majority of people who are from these countries and want to participate in legal website hosting would spend some time to actually prove their intent provided they knew the good service of x10. Those who just want to spam will not be bothered by the long process and just go to the many other hosting sites.

That's still an administrative headache for the number of applicants, and virtually impossible to police without providing sufficient extra human resources dedicated to tackling the issue. Additionally, as already mentioned above, people lie. It's an inherent human condition which is exaggerated online.
