Disclaimer regarding performance limitations in certain countries.
Regarding the following countries and regions:
- Israel
- Iraq
- Iran
- Syria
- Surrounding Middle East
Performance Expectations
Due to the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and the Gaza strip with Israel, we cannot guarantee that services will not be impacted in the region.
While our CDN partner, Cloudflare, has not issued any specific statements regaring stability in these regions, Cloudflare and Hostphyl are continuing to closely monitor the region for any changes that may impact your website and users in these areas.
To be clear, anyone who can access the public internet in these countries and is otherwise not affected by government censors or other circumstances such as power or internet connectivity loss, etc. will be able to access your website. Your website may be less performant under these circumstances since internet traffic from these countries will have to traverse longer distances outside the region to reach your website. Your site will still be protected, but it will not have the benefit of being cached close to the region's users.
Hostphyl Stands with Israel 🇮🇱
We continue to support Israel and its people and have them in our thoughts and prayers. We wholly condemn Iran's recent attacks on Israel as well as the attacks from the Hamas terrorist group and others in the Gaza strip. Hamas must be crushed and we wholly support Israel's efforts to defend itself and defeat its enemies. To Israel, we stand with you as allies in your fight as you resist these senseless attacks.
Regarding the following countries:
- Russia
- Belarus
- Ukraine
Performance Expectations
Due to the ongoing war between Russia with the help of Belarus, and Ukraine, we cannot guarantee that website acceleration and other benefits afforded by our CDN partner, Cloudflare, will continue as usual in the region.
To be clear, anyone who can access the public internet in these countries and is otherwise not affected by government censors will be able to access your website. Cloudflare has taken steps to ensure the security of its servers in these countries in the case of loss of internet connectivity or power.
Your website may be less performant under these circumstances since internet traffic from these countries will have to traverse longer distances outside the region to reach your website if the servers in those countries go down for significant amounts of time. Your site will still be protected, but it will not have the benefit of being cached close to the region's users.
Hostphyl Stands with Ukraine 🇺🇦
We continue to support the people of Ukraine and have them in our thoughts and prayers. We wholly condemn Russia's terrible attack on Ukraine and its people. Many have been injured, and more have died, with more experiencing terrible heartbreak and watching in horror as their lives are torn to shreds. To the courageous people of Ukraine, we stand with you as you resist the unprovoked Russian invasion.
Access to China
Due to how China and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) work, you and Hostphyl would need special licensing to operate within China and subsequently comply with the Chinese Communist Party's rules, regulations, and demands.
Hostphyl does not and will not support the Chinese Communist Party, its agenda, or its ideals, and will not do business within China. To be clear, any Chinese internet user who is able to bypass the Great Firewall of China and access the public internet will be able to access your website. Your website will be less performant under these circumstances since internet traffic from China will have to traverse longer distances to reach your website. Your site will still be protected, but it will not have the benefit of being cached close to users within China.
Hostphyl will not support functionality within China for the foreseeable future unless the political climate in China has a major shift. We apologize for the inconvenience.
