CPALead and Hostgator? Movie site legal troubles? HELP PLEASE

Ok. So yesterday i registered a domain name and basic hosting with hostgator. The website domain name contains "freemovies" in it ex. freemovies58ghd.com ..... So i get an email from hostator saying my site may violate terms of service, and i need to call and show its not credit card raud as well. So i call, verify my info and everything is fine, and then she asks me about my site and name...i say that i will be hosting a forum for some friends as well as some links..and then they ask the dreaded question: "Will you be hosting any illegal or copyrighted content like movies"? I say no and that I would never think of doing that. My friend told me all i need to do is put a special disclaimer at the bottom, but i really dont want to set my whole site up and have hostgator cancel my sh*t 4 days from now... are they keeping a close watch on my site? Has anyone had a similar experience like this with hostgator? Am I worried about nothing or are they just waiting to cancel my account? *btw i was going to implement cpalead on this site if that matters at all. Any help is greatly appreciated because I have never dealt with anything like this before. Thank you

**Have any CPALead users had this same trouble with hostgator? Do any of you currently host with hostgator and its nothing to worry about?

 

you don't host a movie site with hostgator , they are very strict when it comes to proxy and warez.... they don't allow anything....

 

You should buy a offshore hosting and just embed the code in your site. Do not host anything illegal on hostgator or other hosts. You will be banned. If you want buy offshore hosting, let me know.

 

Hold up! I contacted Hostgators live support and asked if we could EMBED movies onto our sites. They said yes we can.

I'll see if I saved the chat log.

Yup, got it. It seems the question wasn't there, but I asked something along the lines of "are we allowed to embed movies and TV show videos onto our sites"?

(And if you're wondering why it's "Tim" not "Tom", it's a typo (i and o are next to eachother).

EDIT: Just on their chat now and the guy is saying they do not allow warez linking. Conflicting...

 

just get a cheap offshore host, save the hassle of being banned from hostgator

 

Can anyone recommend a reliable and quality offshore host? Jackie W specifically maybe because you work with cpalead?

 

I use altushost.com - cheap and good

 

I'm with hostgator for almost a year, and I didn't have any problems.
(I have a tv shows site, with embeded episodes).

 

try http://www.supreme-hosting.com/ or http://nulledhost.com/ I've found that both offer cheap servcices and good support

 

I have embedded video sites with hostgator which earns money from CPAlead.

I don't think they have any problem with video embed.

 

Hi, im with hostgator with 3 movie sites, embedding videos, i did not have any problems with them as i do not host videos . That is for 2 months now.

yeah you will get shut down really quick with hostgator

 

No point in hosting such sites on hg ppl can take u down very easily

 

you may need offshore hosting

 

That's why their support, uptime and service in general are fantastic.

 

Hi? Isn't there a legal threat with linking to these movies if you live in the US, regardless of your hosting?

 

any one using underhost ? is it reliable ? or anyone using any offshore host for long time with good support, please suggest

 

yes i am using underhost they are a good company. i have hosted my two sites there they got good customer support ticket system and respond very quickly like in max 2 hours. you shud go with that they are located in canada and they are also offering offshore hosting mine both sites are hosted offshore.

 

I have such a site running with hostgator and they have not said anything to me yet. But i have a feeling they might watch your site for a while just cos of the conversation you had with them, on the other hand they might not trouble you. So i say chance it. peace

 

eah you will get shut down really quick with hostgator
