Use a hosting provider which accepts Bitcoin payments. There aren't so much, but it's worth trying...
I know namecheap accepts Bitcoin, but does that also mean they facilitate the use of cryptocurrency websites etc? Do they have any special rules for hosting that kind of content on their webhosting?



That does seem pretty odd to me..

The best countries for hosting your web site are jurisdictions with a territorial tax / law system like Hong Kong, Singapore, Panama, Liberia, etc. These jurisdictions do not tax foreign income or interfere with the business you do overseas.           

As long as you do all your business outside the jurisdiction you should be fine.

Get a hosting that has a good support in case you need tech help.

I am making a non-profit project - that uses crypto-currencies, so i am little bit afraid to buy usual hosting, i am worried that there are different laws in each country and it's really easy suddenly became illegal.

Dont worry too much about that, crypto currencies arent illegal in general.
Its so new, its hard to even regulate it.
Create website anywhere and keep doing backups every day. Then if problems arise you can move to other country (if needed)

Yes crypto-currencies aren't illegal you may start your project on hosting services like: Linode, DigitalOcean or NameCheap Web Hosting Smiley

I don't recommend web-hosting services, Instead buy a VPS from Azure, AWS, GC etc. and deploy your project on it. Safest way

So which country completely allows citizens to use crypto-currencies as usual money, i mean without any pitfalls?  (i mean some sort of barter to but and sell real items using only crypto-currency)
And witch web-hosting could you recommend for that type of site?

Are there countries that explicitly allows such things? And could you advise me some web-hosting companies that are physically placed in those countries and offers best services. (i am asking for virtual web-hosting, because i have a really limited budget, and mostly do this for my personal enjoyment, to pass some time, and because i personally like an idea of ctypto-currencies and freedoms that they could potentially bring)

 i have quite limited requirements - php 7.0, mysql, unlimited traffic (i mean, close to it, in proper use), and most of all stability, so i don't get my site shut down because of some reports
