There are web-hosting providers who do not allow hosting adult content on their servers. The client needs to carefully consider his/her hosting options if they need to host an adult website. The factors that need to be taken into account include the type of server needed for hosting your adult website (dedicated or shared), maximum allowed bandwidth, server uptime guarantee, server space, pricing structures, provider's reliability, speed and much more.Now let us break this down further and delve into its intricacies to get a better idea.
Dedicated or Shared Adult Web Site Hosting
By default, almost every web hosting company would offer shared web hosting service. This implies that other websites or users would share a single server. The shared server option is best for a basic website that requires a limited bandwidth and disk space. If you are considering hosting an adult website, then a dedicated server is the most suitable option because an adult website requires hundreds of images to be stored. Furthermore, these websites attract huge traffic and visitors would constantly be downloading images, videos. This will result in large consumption of bandwidth. Moreover, if you own an e-commerce enabled website wherein the visitor is required to pay a certain amount of money to downloading images and videos, then a dedicated server would offer the very best and secure server facilities.
Co-located Adult Website Hosting
Some webmasters may not like the idea of leaving certain sensitive data like images, movies, email addresses and credit card details on someone else's web host. While they do have the option of maintaining their own server data center, it can turn out to be a rather expensive proposition. Therefore, a co-located server could also be considered to eliminate the above risks in order to host your adult website. With co-located servers, your hosting company connects your hardware to the Internet and provides you with rack space, a secure environment to store your server in, and technical support. The client is required to provide their own server, maintenance facilities as well as software to host their website on a co-located server.
Legal Concerns:
Most of the web hosting companies do not allow hosting adult content on their servers. It is therefore recommended to check with your hosting provider well in advance about the legalities involved.
Space
Adult websites require large amount of space as these websites would feature stored images (.jpg) as well as movies (.mpg, .wmv, .avi etc.). On an average 50 to 80 MB of disk space is required to store 200 image files. There always keep ample margin as your website in all probability would only grow and this in turn implies increased bandwidth and disk space.
Technical Support:
You need to ensure that 24/7 technical support is offered by your adult web hosting company and should be able to promptly address any technical issues.
Administration Tools
Ensure that all essentials and tools including CGI scripts, shopping carts, control panel, email management, file management, etc. are offered with your adult web hosting package.
