What is offshore and onshore?

[happyvalentine]

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone could explain what is onshore hosting and offshore hosting? What's the differences? Also What is Nulled Script? I am planning to buy a hosting that's why I want to be sure about these things.


Can you recommend any good hosting sites with 99% up-time?

Thanks for your reply.

Nulled Scripts are the scripts from which Licence sec is taken ou,t pirated ones i can say here

Onshore is hosting located in your country (in most cases on these forums, it refers to US-based hosting providers) and offshore is hosting located in a different country. Most times, people look for offshore hosting providers if they are hosting content that may not be legal in their home country

It's a term used by the location of the hosting server.

Onshore, located in the US.
Offshore, located overseas.

Here in KWWH however, you will see posts like "Germany is in no way offshore".. These are just for *facepalm*s.

Paid scripts have a callback code. Meaning, it can check if the script has a license attached to it, and if it hasn't, it can't work properly. Nulling means removing that code and allowing it to work illegaly. This is in some countries, like the US, illegal. Some will tell you they are not very safe. Actually they are, but if you got a problem, you cant go to the developer. And if the person that 'nullified' it isn't a very nice guy, he may add security holes for him to hack you later on.
