As we ourselves are orienting on migrating from the netherlands (terrible jurisdiction) this topic is of particular interest to me. Where to migrate?
Of course (1) (future) legality is the most important consideration, closely followed by (2) ease and accessibilty of support sysadmin contacts and (3) speed of connection relative to our location (which is Western Europe).
As I understand things, but please correct me if my assumptions are wrong, the legality of our enterprises is defined solely by the location of the servers. And thus not by location of the persons actually running the website nor by the residence of the domain name registrars.
If this is so, it would be tremendously helpful to set up a database of jurisdictions where (online) gambling is more or less legal, and, more to the point, of hosting companies with decent english-speaking support.
