 Legality of Hosting a Site I'm looking into setting up a site which will be somewhat similar to www.mybosslied.ie and ratemysolicitor.com The site i'm making this enquiry about will allow users to add their thoughts and opinions on a subject matter (irish subject matter). Their point of view may not be liked by those who are mentioned in the posts. So my questions are: Can some legal implications be avoided if you host your site outside of Ireland? If you host abroad but you use a .ie domain name, can you avoid any legal implications?         |

| No, Only Ireland Law apply to you, not US law. If you host illegal site in US, what they can do is disable your site.

| Regardless of where you host if you are an Irish citizen and you slander / defame etc., you could be pursued in Irish courts etc.,

| Interesting read on that page but what I am confused about is who in their right mind would dare to pubically bash a solicitor? That is just asking for trouble. I also thought that hosting a site in the US would avoid this type of issue, glad to have learned this is not the case. |

| Taking on legal eagles was a bit dumb.. They're more likely to be in a position to fight back
