I'm familiar with discovery. Generally speaking, it won't work on hosting companies with headquarters outside the US. (American-style civil discovery is frowned-upon in most other nations.) It might not work on companies hosted in other states, for it should be possible to challenge any out-of-state subpoena in local courts. In most situations, this would likely be unsuccessful and not worth attempting, but in this sort of situation, I reckon it might work... for, ultimately, the same reason some states have begun to prohibit out-of-state discovery in abortion-related cases.
