I picked a Canadian host on purpose for this reason but I want to be sure as I am officially a non-resident.
Also I know as a Canadian I do not have to comply with 2257, so if I choose not to does this mean that affiliates who are American can not legally promote me? And if this is true, and I choose to voluntarily comply by having my personal ID/documents somewhere, can they still promote me, with my images only, if on my website I also have models with me whom I do not have documents for?
Thank you for offering your help!

There is a site that offers much info on 2257 & laws
http://www.adultbizlaw.com/
If you host in Canada you fall under Canadian law I think for the website part (depending where you are incorporated where your domain is registered.)
US based affiliates have are bound by US law, which is different.
So this is a conflict.
So my advise would be, in order to get the max. out of your US affiliates and reduce any risks, you should fully live up to the 2257 laws.
I'll mail your question to 3 Canadian people in this business and see if they have more info on the question you aksed, which was an interesting one
