Important Notice Regarding Geographic Restrictions on SkyWebHosting
SkyWebHosting is a popular choice for people looking to host their website. However, there are instances where SkyWebHosting cannot be used due to geographic boundaries.
More than half of the world's population uses the Internet daily, but not everyone is granted the same freedom when browsing. This means that the web is not as worldwide as we may want it to be. Each country has its own laws and regulations that govern the Internet. There is a rapid decline in internet freedom, with only a handful of countries allowing access to truly uncensored cyberspace.
There are some countries where the internet is found to be restrictive. Clients from the following countries will be unable to purchase hosting from us:
- China
- Qatar
- Iran
- North Korea
- Sudan
- Syria
- Afghanistan
- Cuba
- Eritrea
- Guinea
- Liberia
- North Cyprus
- Sierra Leone
- South Sudan
- Syrian Arab Republic
Tips and Adjustments for Connecting from Restricted Countries
If you are in one of the countries listed above, you might try some of these tips and adjustments that may help you get connected:
-
Change Your VPN Connection Protocol:
- Try changing your VPN protocol. We recommend using OpenVPN via UDP or OpenVPN via TCP (available in Windows and Android apps) configuration.
-
Use IP Addresses Instead of Server Names:
- Sometimes, using the IP address of the server instead of its domain name can help bypass restrictions.
If the above suggestions do not work, we recommend placing your website content on a server with a local provider.
