Do you allow adult sites ?
This question most web hosting providers hear everyday. Typically, web hosting in th united states allow you to host adult content as long as your models are over 21. Now, there are ways you can make your site socially responsible. A few of these ways is to limit your visual content on your landing page, create “adult only” buttons that users click on to enter your site, and finally paying attention to state and federal laws. These laws are focused on where your site is physically hosted. Some states allow 18 year olds access to content that 21 and over is allowed to see in other states. I recommend the common denominator of 21 years of age to view and to model for your site check out 2257 for more iformation or consult with a lawyer.
Some hosting don’t want to host adult content at all. They don’t want the added pressure of dealing with legalities, reviewing content, handling DMCA complaints and dealing with letter from lawyers. The time it takes a hosting company to deal with the complaints is sometimes not worth the hassle when there are other customers requiring actual technical support. In a small hosting company somone’s time is divided between helping to run the business and helping solve legitimate problems and issues.
If you find a hosting provider that suites your needs and you follow state and federal laws you still have issues with resources. As the popularity of your site sometimes if your lucky, over a few months; your start to use more and more shared hosting resources. Adult webosting and website design typically includes rich media content such as audio, video, podcast, flash, chatrooms and more. These features usually take more resources then a typical PHP and MYSQL websites. As more users or vistors use your site at one time the more those resources are used. Poor website design such as putting 20 jpg pictures at their maximum resolution can use all your allocated resources. Pay attention to file size, your target audience size, and much rich media ccontent you put on one page. You also should page attention to the content on your landing page, do people who have never been to your site really need evrything your are loading on the homepage?
When you use too much resources on your shared hosting account for your adult website, your site may be suspended or you may be forced to upgrade to a more expensive hosting account. One way you can avoid this is by using thir party tools and traffic logs to see what your vistors are actually using. If you use a program such as crazyegg.com you can see where users are clicking. You could post videos on your site that do not load until users click on them. Your reports from crazyegg.com will tell you which videos are clicked on and which ones are not. Your traffic logs can tell you what pages are never visited. You can use this information to optimiize your website and the content you preload versus the content you let your users decide on viewing.
