Looking For Rails Hosting (mongrel, Adult Content)
Jan 4, 2008
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 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..
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 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?
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 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.
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 don't wanna say "rails-specific" hosts because I'll be hosting some python/PHP, but I want a host run by a team who actually know and use Ruby on Rails themselves. Deployment shouldn't be a pain, and it should be VPS. My budget is $25/mo for now, as I don't need much space or bandwidth until I begin scaling the sites.
I will be hosting numerous rails sites, so memory might be a problem if I'm using mongrel... but performance wise, is mongrel the best?
Right now I'm looking at SliceHost, HostingRails, and Linode.
I am currently a 1 and 1 customer, and unfortinately they do not support ROR . Anyways that put to one side can anyone recommend a free ROR hosting company, or a company that will charge around £20.00 to get my ROR website hosted?
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.
a 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I have upgraded my Redmine installation for my site using SVN. After that i have restarted mongrel and it failed. It is never starting again. ====================== I used this command -- mongrel_rails start -d
The error reported is :--
Path to log file not valid: log/mongrel.log PID file log/mongrel.pid does not exist. Not running?
The mongrel.log file and mongrel.pid file are present in :--
/home/cwleader/redmine-0.8/log/
So, pid file do exist.
My port where mongrel is acting up is 3000. =========================== ------------- I also used the exhaustive command --
mongrel_rails start -e production -p 3000 -d -l /home/cwleader/redmine-0.8/log ------------- It specifies the port and full path of pid and mongrel log. Still error appears.
I am currently looking for a hosting company to host an adult web site. I have searched through the web but can't make a final decision. Here are the companies I am looking at:
I have never worked with an adult oriented website before, so I really don't know a whole lot about the arena. I might be making a web site for an exotic dancer that may contain explicit photographs (no sex, topless images probably). This is more of a homepage, not a pay for membership adult site.
Anyways, whenever I have signed on with a host in the past they all seem to have the uniform user agreement that states no pornography, warez, etc. Would this type of thing be considered a pornographic web site? If so, are there any hosts that provide affordable shared web hosting that allow this, or would I be forced to get a dedicated server or something?
Just trying to get a feel for how much of a pain in the butt this could end up being, I might decide not to do it if this will require some expensive specialty hosting. Any advice would be appreciated.
Can anyone recommend a good adult friendly web host? I have a client who wants to put together a site selling various "toys" and he's going to need a host that allows that sort of thing.
Does anyone know of a decent adult hosting provider thats not going to give me any problems? i've been with cirtex for 1 month and in that month i've had my account suspended due to high cpu usage.. and the sites mysql has been down due to disc space full cos they didnt clear the tmp folder.. all in the space of one month..
My site gets currently 4,000 uniques per day with around 13,000 page views..
its a tube site however the videos are embedded from another site so bandwidth is relativly low at around 4gb/dayso if anyone else runs a similar site i'd like to know who you host with and if you get many problems.
Is there a site that shows the different companies that offer free hosting? I have found a few but they never state if the company offers a free site creator or if the site allows you to use ithe free service for adult websites? Please help i need a site creator because i do not know html plus i want to make a adult site!
Can you recommend here some reliable shared host that allow Adult WordPress blog , no movies or images will be hosted at all , it will contain only linking to rapidshare links.
Looking for dedicated server that allows adult and proxy hosting and comes with PostgreSQL. Really looking for a more established host and not some one that’s going to steal my money and run. am open for your ideas on what you think is the best.
