Hey guys. I want to use x10hosting, but when I try to sign up, it says that registrations from this area have been banned due to abuse of service. Now, I don't want to host any abusive stuff, only a forum of mine, which 000webhost has suspended because it sends mails. (1000 mails, from 16th September). So I want to use a proxy to set up my account on x10hosting.

But, will it work? If so, how? Also, is it legal? If not, can I still do it without any problems ? (For e.g.: piracy is illegal, but you can still do it without any major risks).

Thanks in advance.

VPN is the best option to hide your place, But why are you going for free host for a forum, better get a shared hosting.

Whether TOR will be of any help?
