Hello, I live in the UK and I’m trying to understand how to build modest internet services (web, email, e-commerce, etc.) that are resilient to political instability. As time goes on, it seems the current US administration is becoming steadily unhinged. The increasingly hostile language towards Europe, coupled with the threat of tariffs and trade wars, makes me somewhat reluctant to rely on US companies for internet and financial services. Therefore, I am looking at ways to spread risk across a range of service providers based in both the US and Europe. 1. Domain names It seems prudent to register multiple domains under different TLDs. I am considering registering both a .com (Verisign, US) and a .uk (Nominet, UK) to mitigate the risk should one be suspended for some unusual political reason. Has anyone encountered similar issues before (DMCA, Lanham Act, PATRIOT Act, FISA, etc.), or is this extremely unlikely to happen to legitimate businesses? 2. Domain registrars and name servers Transferring the .com domain to a US registrar and the .uk domain to a UK/EU registrar could also help spread risk. Ensuring the authoritative name servers are located in the corresponding countries also seems important. I like Cloudflare due to their robust infrastructure and competitive domain pricing. Can anyone recommend a similar registrar based in the UK/EU? 3. Data centres For running virtual private servers (VPS), I would like to spread risk across different providers — one US-based and another UK/EU-based. The idea is to replicate the same services across multiple data centres managed by completely different companies. Because these are unrelated companies in different regions, there are likely no VLANs available to synchronise data between VPS instances. I could attempt to do this via VPN, but it may not be feasible due to bandwidth or latency limitations. Has anyone done something similar and can share their experience? Thanks.
