Adult Content

**itsmethee** · June 1st, 2006, 5:33 AM

So I know in the past, people have asked about adult content. My understanding was that they were all placed on some special server so that there would be no negative effects on others but it was allowed. I have a few questions:

A) As a reseller what happens if someone wants to host an adult site with us? Is it allowed on our normal reseller server or do we need to go VPS or dedicated?

B) What is so risky about hosting an adult site? I know they are very bandwith intensive but other than that what is the issue? Are they just more likley to get hacked and draw negative attention?

And for the record, this is all just hypothetical because I was reading a post on another board about adult content. Don't worry, I am not bringing any adult content to dime13.

P.S. - I have no clue why I added a michale jackson picture to the end of an adult content post.....it is so wrong....lol

umm you're kidding right, the fact that most people associate pornography with negativity should be justification enough.

LOL
i'm not aware of 'adult' anything being placed on special servers. There are surely resellers here who have adult sites. But as noted, adult content can really chew up the bandwidth, so you might need to jump into the dedicated space really quick.
