I agree to others what they said about offshore but when it comes to "offshore web hosting" it means servers is located in countries where they ignore DMCA copyright complaints and anonymous, warez, torrent etc.

offshore in any industry means "relocation of business process from one country to another. BUT In web hosting it means hosting outside country then originating.Reason can be consider for avoiding domestic rules.

Offshore hosting means web servers are located outside your present country. It is same like normal web hosting, doesn't make any difference.
But, one has to make sure about website speed with offshore hosting. It should provide same downloading speed with offshore web servers.

When you get website hosted to somewhere other place from current place, it is called 'offshore web hosting'. The reasons may be anything which differs customer to customer. But most common reasons are its low price, enhanced features and improvement in services.

Offshore hosting is hosting your web servers outside of country.
Normally, many people outsource their hosting needs to developing nations. The reason being people in developed nations go for lesser developed nations is to get low cost hosting. The exactly opposite of it, the users in developing nations choose for more developed countries for better security of their data.
