Post4VPS is hosted in a German server  I believe and owner in not an American citizen so I don't think it matters. So what matters will be German laws and Server providers TOS. I don't think provider also a US service. So if the sponsor is fine with it then it's not a problem here.

I have a feeling it is slightly more complicated than this.  If the FBI zeroes on to a Website, they're usually looking for the owner of that Website.  If the owner is from the US, then they already have their screws into him.  If it isn't clear from the Website who the owner is, then they'll go for the owner of the server.  And if they can't find the owner of the server, they'll probably track that to the data center.  In the end it all depends who they're after, which country rules will apply.  The IP will give it away, but is only an IP.  It's the proven owner who is using the IP that may determine the country's laws that apply.  Another factor would be a business Website that is owned by a US citizen however is conducting business with citizens of the EU or UK.  I'd say that at some or other point that US citizen will be subjected to the laws of the country in whose location he is conducting business, or advertising products.
