websites actualy dont have to be US-hosted, they just have to be hosted in a country with a registry with ARIN. Internet domain names are done by region, not by country, Mexican domains are given By ARIN, the INternet domain registry for all of north America and some of South, and because it is based out of the UNited states, the SOPA and PIPA legislations regard it as US property and therefore, .com, .net, and .org amongst other things can ba blocked even if you are not a US citizen
