Step 3: Get Web Hosting

Web hosting is like leasing a space on a computer where the files of your website will actually reside. The files sit on this computer or server and can be Accessed by people browsing the web. Every time someone visits your adult web site they download these  files from this one server and display them in their browser.

Some people set up servers in their homes and offices, but for your start up porn site it makes way more sense, time and money wise, to get web hosting from a company who does this as their business. A good web hosting company will have 3 things that you’ll need as you build and maintain your new adult web site.

  1. Infrastructure – they will have servers and facilities to house them, not to mention a dedicated connection to the internet suitable to host a website that receives a lot of traffic.
  2. Support – web servers are very complex machines and far from not perfect, sooner or later you’ll run into an issue that you can’t solve.  A good web host will have a 24 hour support service that can respond to your requests and get you back up and running when problems arise.
  3. Technology – If you’re planning on steaming video from your server, which you probably are, there is certain software that must be installed on your adult web host that will make this run smoothly. You want to get a server that can accommodate this.
  4. Allows Adult Content – OK, I know I said 3, but, as things go, I forgot about the most important, most obvious point. You must get a web host that allows adult content to be hosted on their machines. If you put a bunch of adult content on a machine that doesn’t allow this, they will delete your account, and your website. AND they will keep you money! So read the terms of use for any web host you choose. OR just pick the one that I use.

So, rather than search all over the web for a server that fits your needs you could take my recommendation and use Citrix.

I use these guys for a number of porn sites. They have the right software installed for streaming video the right way, have an incredibly fast support department and definitely allow adult content.  Not to mention they’re pretty inexpensive! Check them out, you won’t be disappointed!

  8. Hi, Could you please help me with a java enabled environment for hosting porn.

    As advised by you, I contacted Cirtex, but they said they do not support java. :-(

    • Hi there, I’m no expert on Java. I think that Java is probably the wrong language to be building websites in nowadays anyways. You don’t mean JavaScript do you?
