    Hello guys,

    I need a hosting that allow porn, I prefer one that offer unlimited space and unmetered bandwith for free image hosting site.

    Any advice or offer, about this? I want to go to dreamhost but some said that they're sux.

    I recommend you stay away from people that offer "unlimited space" for one. Secondly if you are going to make a image host, though you can start off in shared hosting you will later if successful have to move on to a VPS and or dedicated server.

    i agree with mkmuzika - there is no such thing as unlimited space and bandwidth and hosts that offer that service usually has some really fine print that you should read

    you should look for a VPS or a dedicated server for stuff like like that, it helps more

    Unlimited is a scam while Unmetered is pretty much a fair usage without limits.

    Their are many reasons, Kaoz mentioned already, unlimited is a scam. Unmetered tho yes very possible thats also a bit far out their, but possible.

    You need everything unlimited and this is something that won't be able to provide to you any dedicated server or even VPS
    Can you transfer in the real digits your request?

    Hey guys, thanks for the reply.

    I dunno how much I need for a image hosting site, its totally new for me. I mean I used to build content site with only small amount of image, but not an image hosting site that need rather big resources.

    You guys run a hosting business, so I think you know how much you can handle for image hosting site, what do you guys suggest the resource needed for lets say 5000 to 10,000 pageload/day as a start?

    Porn related content always has big traffic. So depends on your budget you can go as with dedicated server as with VPS

    Interesting information as i am also looking for these facilities i have a normal image host which is run on a normal host at the moment but the Adult version is being worked on as we speak.So for say a new site that has just started out what would be a fair price to pay either per month or annually ??? Any thoughts on this one please i hope i have not hijacked the thread but i guess the OP was asking for the same info.Thanks

    Do not pay annually until you reach about 1/2 year experience with the host. You need to know the web hosting provider before annual subscription
    Hope that helps

    @Mega B

    No worries mate, we have the same interest. I would likely to miss few important question that you can fill in. So feel free to ask any question you need as long as its about Image hosting site so we can find the best offer and resources.

    To move a site with big databases is pain in the ass so we need to find a good host to stick with.

    if someone interested i can setup a new server for your requirements, eg. 10 GB true disk space - 100 GB pure bandwidth = 25 $ / month , that's what i call a non-oversold service, no unlimited , mega GB, TB tricks.

    I can offer you hosting which is specialized for image/video hosting. What im offering will be non-oversold, and generally cheaper than a small dedicated server in terms of HD/BW.

    Look at my site, or PM me. Its in my sig - Im also offering a 5 day free trial so you can test everything out.

    I am seriously looking at a dedicated server for the Adult image site as i can then add maybe another one in a few weeks time,our normal image site is starting to grow in only 2 months and from those stats i feel the Adult one will grow the same but with higher visitors hence that is why i am looking at a dedicated facility.The problem is finding the best deal.

    Greetings everybody

    @ mkmuzika: When you say it's a scam I don't think you are being fair to the hosting company because "scam" is a pretty nasty word. I give you an example.
    In 2004 when I signed up with bluehost.com I was given 1GB of storage which I almost had full in a month. From 2006 I haven't checked the storage again because it got increased to 4 GB and later to "unlimited". In the most strict mathematical term "unlimited" would not be the right term to use. However, scam is something else. With all due respect!
