LLCs and foreign hosting

[mallardman]

Hi guys, I signed up for this forum today to ask for some advice. I have just registered an LLC in Michigan, and I will be doing web hosting and design. I intend to use servers and domain registers in other states for my business. I will not be providing services for businesses in those states though, as my clients are mostly Michigan based. Do I have to register as a foreign LLC in the states where the servers, which I will using, are located? Also, do I need to register in another state to buy a domain from a registrar established in that state?

No, you don't need to do any of that. Domain registration is international.
The web is not regulated state by state.

Thanks man, prompt response.

If you live in the U.S. and want to make an offshore host I don't think you can host warez because you live in the U.S.
