You need to take payment some how so look up the visa regions in your position from what you have said so far I think a EU Corp and hosting somewhere with minimal tax and no hassle its not cheap to setup but it costs to do things properly.

MQG,
Again, accept legal advice from non-lawyers at your own peril!!
The US laws and the courts are increasingly tough on US persons trying to go offshore for tax and jurisdictional loopholes. If you are legitimately a non-US citizen, it may also be hard to argue US laws don't apply if most of your business is with US customers.
If most of your business is in the US, you might be wisest to locate here. My advice is to consider a friendly tax jurisdiction such as Nevada or Delaware, and put your corporate domicile there. Nevada is the rage right now.
Then, find a friendly regulatory environment --perhaps Los Angeles, San Francisco, or Las Vegas --for operations. Regardless, please put your lawyer's advice ahead of mine!!
