Shared Hosting for porn/adult site

Discussion in 'Web Hosting' started by Margherito, Jul 27, 2012.

    Hi, I'm searching for a shared hosting that allow porn content. The shared server is enough, for now, beacause in the website there are only embed videos.
    You suggest to try the "classic" host (as Godaddy, Hostgator...) or to check something specific, that support porn content and have shared hosting plans?
    Lastly, I have read that Godaddy support adult content, but "adult" is equal to "porn"? And is good host?
    Sorry for my english, and thanks.

    GoDaddy is NOT a good host. There are tons of hosting providers that can provide services that you need.

    Critex Hosting allows Adult content I guess. Not 100% sure. Just check and verify by visiting their site.

    Hostgator allows it. Make sure to check the TOS terms of service of the hosting company you are interested in to see if the company allows adult content on their servers.

    There are plenty of hosts that can accommodate adult sites, do you have any resource requirements (disk space/bandwidth/control panel/location) that might help narrow your search?

    I do not think that HostGator is able to support on your requirement needs, basically you need offshore hosting.

    Most hosts will allow adult content, as long as it is legal (check your provider's Acceptable Use Policy before you sign up, to be sure). There are many providers that specialize in this type of hosting, although they are generally a bit more expensive than "standard" providers.

    As pingpipe says most host allow adult content. But, generally adult content uses a good deal of bandwidth and has high traffic which isn't an optimal setup for a shared account. Why not just start with a VPS account instead of hoping that you don't bog down the server your shared account will be on? Many host offer very reasonable VPS accounts and if you are unsure about managing a VPS account then managed VPS services are also really affordable.

    Thanks for reply,
    I have seen some hosting services, which all seem to be similar.
    The location is not important (embed videos are obtained legally), but I have not decided for an host...
    We thought to start with a shared plan, because no video is uploaded directly from us. It may be enough for you?


    Thanks ;)
