    Adult hosting with VBulletin?

    My Vbulletin is uncensored and unmoderated so people will probably be using lots of colorful language.

    Because of this I think I should choose adult hosting so I dont get shut down because someone complained over seeing a 4 letter word.

    any suggestions for adult Vbulletin hosting?

      Adult hosting usually cost alot more then regular hosting for various reason.... colorful language shouldn't be a problem with most hosts.

          Tera-byte means erotic stories, not colorful language.

          I'm quite sure colorful language could not be construed as "defamatory, harassing, abusive, or threatening language", as in VO's case.

              Well, if I had to go with adult hosting only because of people using bad words on my board, I guess I'd stop having a website...

                You know what pisses me off? Hosts DO NOT get in trouble for hosting a porn site. Not at all. Thats how dumb hosts are.

                      The reason they don't want to host them is not for fear of 'getting into trouble', I believe it's more the bandwidth issues.

                        I think it's more the fact they don't want to be associated with "that kind of sites". Does it sound good when someone says: "You know that host, very cheap and reliable."
                        And he gets a reply: "Yeah, but it's bad because it hosts a lot of porn sites".
                        Thats what they don't want.. I think

                          My site is hosted on:



                          Great people to work with, easy to reach tech support, and we've run our boards to 220 users online with their shared servers Yes they're kicking us off, but still, they are very lenient...

                          Also if you check my site you can see that they don't care too much about your subject matter............

                            Overgrow, you have one of the slickest designs I've ever seen for a site. Awesome work, and kudos to the graphic designer!
