Hi,
quite a while since I posted on here. I was wondering if someone could help me with something. I would be interested in any adult web hosts that people recommend. I know its easy to google things these days but the top and bottom of it all is that they all sound good, as really they have to attract you.

I did that and got let down my Lunarpages although the site makes them sound good.

I would like to hear from adult content providers who have there own site with a web host and can recommend any first hand.

Names, how much bandwith you get, how much storage space, how many domains its lets you have etc....

Thanks in advance for any producer who may speak up.

Grateful as always.

Paul

try US based
I've used them for for all my adult stuff for years. Not sure how they compare in price/bandwidth etc to others though.

I used DWHS for a few years, but found that download speeds in the UK could be a bit slow at certain times of the day because they are based on the US west coast - depends I suppose, where most of your expected membership reside and whether most of your content is video.

Whatever you do, don't buy your domains from whoever does your hosting. Purchase them separately, then if you run into trouble with your new host it will be easier for you to make a move.

MR Anon,
thanks for the tip and mentioning something extra apart from what I have asked. I am grateful you took the time to try and help. I do however know that. I have been in the industry for 5 years and have been away for 6 months and to the industry that is like longer... suddenly I start posting again and everyone is like Paul Who???? Lol

I will look into the links that RGB has recommended too, I just wouldnt want to be taken down by another site that sounds good and then turns out to be shite and pulls the plug on your site just because your traffic is higher one month than the previous but still within their limit for your account.

Whoops sorry little bit of my life story there.

Thanks anyone else keep them coming I am happy to surf for abit longer till I have seen some others.

Paul

You get what you pay for. If you are streaming video and you've got more than a handful of members, you need to be paying at least a few hundred dollars a month.

There's no such thing as "unlimited bandwidth" "24/7 support" etc. for less.
