HavenCo, which ran a datacenter on the "nation" of Sealand, is no longer operating there:
Which is the same story for most (if not all) of these hype-driven "bullet-proof" data centers. I recall a .com CEO espousing the capabilities of his datacenter-inside-an-old-bank-vault to prevent DoS attacks such as the one that had hit Yahoo! the week before. I must say that the provided dinner, drinks and Hummer Limo ride, to the DC, made the humor of the CEO more enjoyable. Sadly a lot of older pensioners were eating his every word. At that time I worked for an equipment/services reseller and I persisted quietly, as best I could, to save some people's life savings. I felt like a diver witnessing a herring infused shark fest. -Jim P.
