I have been looking for adult hosting services. Of the businesses I have found that do allow adult hosting, I have seen one stipulation. "Legal adult content". I'm not quite sure on what this means. Does it pertain to the obvious, like no child porn, bestiality, etc. Or is there legalities to the access of the adult content? Though I live in the US, I was not raised nor educated here, and thus not aware of the details here.
All I wish to host is a general content forum where my members can have a section to post 18+ pornography such as you would see in any regular adult video store. I plan to have this in an invite only section of the forum as to keep the content inaccessible to under 18 year olds. I believe this should be within the requirements of legal adult content.
Anyone who knows the details of the term "Legal adult content", could you please clear this up for me?
I am looking for a UK based VPS from a UK company that allows legal adult hosting. I am ideally looking for at least 40GB space and 500GB b/w to start with.
If I want to use GoDaddy as my host for a website with adult content on it i.e. porn, would it violate any agreements or TOS? If so, what if I bought a dedicated server?
I've been looking for a host for a few hours now and would like to get some opinions on what people think of the following companies or what other companies I should be looking at.
altushost godaddy 1and1 hostgator
these 4 all allow "pornographic" material
requirements:
500mb-2gb space 20-100gb monthly bandwidth (option to scale this would be best) php 4 or 5 sql (2 databases) ftp ssh (not required, but would like it) 5-10 a month, payable yearly
Does anyone know of a good web host that allows adult content? No porn or anything hardcore, basically it's just half-nude/topless/erotic posing pictures.
I will definitely need a web host that allows a lot of bandwidth, I'm actually doing this for someone who just got in the cover of Penthouse. So.. I'm sure there will be a lot of traffic.
Something less then US$ 150 for the start and an option to move to a full blown (4 Cores, 4GB) dedicated server later would be optimal.
Requirements: 1000 GB Transfer 10 GB Disk 1024 GB Memory Plesk Panel
There will also be download links to copyright protected material but this are only links, there is no copyright infringement on the server itself which is absolutely legal at least in Europe.
i am looking for a hosting allow adult content, I need only space for a forum and a main page (welcome page) in html and some extras I think 1 or 2 GB of space is cool. About transfer up to 15GB.
I want to do is users downloading videos and photos through rapidshare, megaupload and that stuff.
About the pics, images are put through imageshack, imagevenue etc. Thas is why i dont need to much space.
Currently I have 2 websites with different content. hosted in Hawkhost and jaguarpc.
Jaguarpc allow adult content but only in VPS Hawkhost I think dont allow adult content.
also need to have ability to pay for 6 or 12 months..
As far as hosts, ive been through hostgator which sucked.. not for the hostings in the fact i barely had any downtime, but for the outa nowhere ban/support they have. So i left that.. If they had better support id stick with them.
Moved on to nakedhosting... that site gets fustrating because every early morning their servers slow/stop for about 4 or 5 hours then back to normal.. their support sucks! Only tech support is ever online for live chat and ive only received a reply once from their ticket system outa the 4 times i tried getting support. Honestly i think theirs about 4 or 5 people running that site because i pretty much talk to the same guy on live chat everytime.. on top of that, everyones gone after 8pm+.. really, you wont get live chat or ticket support.. which further leads me to believe they have a small room of servers which 4 or 5 people run. Probably a family business who knows.. Dont pay attention to their 99% up time, most flat out lie.. but if your record your down times you do get a discount if you convince them its their fault..
anyway im looking for a reliable VPS host that does have decent support and uptime. Im not one to make alot of mistakes that need support, at most maybe 1 or 2 every couple months but most of the time i dont.. i just want a host that will be their when i do have one.
Price isnt an issue. Also it would be great if i could pay with paypal. Not a needed but would help start me off since i have to wait 3-4 days till it hits my account.
I'm looking for some hosting for a couple of small projects. I want a place I can host them with until they need to be moved to a dedicated host (if they ever do).
I have a customer interested in a dedicated server that allows porn to be hosted on it. What locations/providers do you recommend for something like this?
I'm kinda confused about warez linking allowed VPS hosters.. Most of them they say "Warez Linking is allowed" "AS LONG AS IT'S LEGAL" Is there a legal warez? I though that warez is illegal in the first place!
I'm planing to buy a VPS Plan from fsckvps.com, but I'm afraid they might terminate my account, so want to make sure if I will work fine with them, I've contacted them as pre-sale question, they said that warez linking is allowed as long as nothing is hosted on their server.
Okay, Now what's legal warez? My site content actually is New worldwide music albums, info, Movies, Cracked/nulled softwares..
Download links are included, but hosted on sharing site such as 4shared.com etc..
Will this be fine? Or I might experience account termination?
I'm just inches away from purchasing their 512MB RAM Plan, this is my final question.
a company named [url] was with us for almost 4, months and they are using the server which are custom ordered high end server, we didn't took setup fee just because they promise us to stay at list for an year
and from past 2 months they just ranned away somewhere, didn't paid any invoice i guess we did a big mistake by believing in them
i know these 2 servers wont make a big difference but still just for my info
can anyone suggest if we can take any legal action on them ? i know there site is still up and running
i would like to present to you a scenario im sure everybody has thought of and has come up against.
1. If you are hosting with a web host and your files and website has been compromised due to the lack of security on the server what actions can you take against the host for this loss?
2. The host has a backup dating back to a week, but of course the data you have accumulated for the week that was lost is very valuable but you cant get it back now because of a flaw with the hosts server, is there anything you can do in a situation like this?
3. What if you are a reseller and have setup several sites for customers. One customer uses a CMS which means he/she will be updaitng their website every now and then and not always you are able to make backups of all the websites hosted by you as the reseller.
Now a weeks or a few days of data have been lost. The client complains and wants to take legal action against the reseller (you) and of course the reseller knows its the problem with the main host you are hosting with. What does the reseller do now with the client and the host whos made the mistake?
4. Clients livelihood depends on his/her Ecommerce website, they make an average turnover. Whether you are hosting on a dedicated or VPS nevertheless data loss has occured because the box was compromised. The blame is put on the host. In a scenario like this what can the customer do? He/She has lost some client details/orders information and products as a whole...? Remember this is a business... and money has been lost. A recovery backup a week old will never be sufficient enough for the loss.
Think about it... what will you do if any of the above four scenarios were to happen to you?
Yes i am aware of the terms. Some hosts will say they are not responsible forData loss in their small prints, Some will say it is soley up to the customer to make backups, When it comes to court they will point this out, and you'll be kicking yourself for being so foolish to go with a host in the first place which dosent gurantee the safety of your data.
Customers dont always read the small fine prints. Now realistically speaking what can the customer/client do in a situation like this? Im guessing nothing if the host outlines the terms ive pointed out above?
Is there really a host out there which takes whole responsibility for the loss and damage they create to your websites and businesses online?
I got a bounced back message that I never sent. I was profoundly shocked to discover (through the header info) that the message originated from dotworlds.net; a site that ostensibly is a spoof email service provider.
I see lot of threads about DoSes and from what I understand its pretty much up to client to pay expensive prices for a DoS firewall, or just get a few days of downtime and hope the DoS ends when server is put back online.
However, one thing I've been wondering is do providers (unmanaged) normally assist with the legal issues behind this? Like is it up to them to sue the ones DoSing given it's their network, or is it still up to the customer to do that?
I have a ethics and legality scenario I would like to pose here. This is to be considered a fictional scenario and any similarity to any real company or person is unintentional.
COMPANY X has colo racks in DATACENTER and hosts a client named COMPANY Y. COMPANY Y also hosts 50 small web sites on cpanel and 40 VPS servers on their linux VPS node in exchange for a discount or other compensation. During the month of may and COMPANY Y's bill raises from being 3000 past due to over 12000 past due to various reasons including purchasing of hds from the DATACENTER using COMPANY X's account, tech work dont by DATACENTER for COMPANY Y needed also billed to COMPANY X's account, as well as BW and rack costs. Seeing this alrming bill by the end of May COMPANY X begins putting pressure on COMPANY Y to pay some invoices as no payments were received during the entire month of may and COMPANY X is also having a hard time paying DATACENTER due to not being paid by COMPANY Y but makes efforts to pay 25% of the outstanding bill in June.
Near the end of june COMPANY X has had enough and arrives at the datacetner to attempt to move theritr clients off COMPANY Ys hardware so they can suspend service of COMPANY Y completely. On the visit COMPANY X brings 2 new servers in and begins moving clients of their over and COMPANY X notices this action and begins to suspend and remove access to all of COMPANY X's clients. COMPANY X then decided to power off the boxes of COMPANY Y and removes drives containing COMPANY X customer data for offline recovery. and because they beleived the DATACENTER might be untrustworthy enough to release hardware fromt heir rakcs without their permission. The drives were for as much colatteral purposes as for recoverying customer data. They then pack the drives in boxes and a bag and leave the datacenter having spent nearly 20 hours working and head on a long trip home and signs out of the data center in front of various techs holding the server parts and tools.
Upon arriving back to their office/home
They were informed that the removal of the HDs was not allowed byt he datacenter because the account was past due and it was discovered that several drives with cOMPANY X's clients were left in the datacenter which COMPANY X now wishes they had remembered to get. DATACENTER is furious and demands the account be paid in full by a fixed time or the entire colo will be cut power. COMPANY X scrambles to find others to help them and another major client who has alot at risk decides to help and a payment of $7160 is made to DATACETNER but it came in a few minutes past the deadline. DATACETNER had suspended servuce, and cut power but stated they wil return service shortly. Shortly after this it is discovered that several servers belonging to COMANY X and two other companies who were supsended in the same day were not int he rack anymore. DATACENTER accout rep responds with the following message in ICQ/AIM .....
im running a site where users can submit their comic books excerpts or works.
but sometimes there are users that upload copyrighted works.
how to deal with this problem? I have the DMCA legal notice that I copied from other websites and fixed it to suit mine.
I remove any copyrighted material upon request.
I cannot monitor all posting 24/7.
so which hosting, location(us, amsterdam, netherlands?), and other precuations should i take ? is it okay to copy legal stuff from other similar site and change around the wording to fit my site?
Does anyone know the proper avenue for cancelling an account with HostNine? They are giving me the run around and ignoring my requests for a cancellation. I originally tried to cancel my account a couple of months ago by e-mail. They informed me that I had to submit a cancellation request through their website. I have submitted a cancellation request through their website SEVERAL TIMES since then. They never sent me any kind of response or confirmation, so I assumed (wrongly, I guess) that the account was cancelled, but they keep charging my credit card over and over.
I have requested again that the account be cancelled and told them that I would simply perform a chargeback since they are basically billing me for a service that I have continually requested be cancelled via their own online cancellation form using their own process for cancelling accounts. Nick Hudson @ HostNine's response to this was to threaten that they would send attorneys and collection agencies after me. All while claiming that it is "NOT hard" to cancel an account. I agree with them; cancelling your account when the company will actually deal with you should not be hard.
I will be launching a video website like youtube and I have put all the DMCA requirements on it, I'm still not sure if I can get in trouble if someone uploads copyrighted videos, would it make a difference if I get a dedicated server located in Netherlands?
Okay, I keep seeing VPS (and dedicated for that matter) providers that say you have control over your box... and then forbid things like IRC, adult content, and proxies. Why? What is it about those three types of content that strike fear into the hearts of hosting providers?
I can see forbidding those on shared hosting accounts. The extra CPU and bandwidth required could really put a crimp on the other accounts. But with VPS and dedicated, you are paying for a portion of the CPU and bandwidth so why would the provider care what you do with them?
