Typically, you will have four choices when deciding what type of hosting service you need:
1. FREE SERVICES:
Many first-time adult webmasters start with free hosting packages. Free hosting
services generally offer the most basic of hosting packages, giving you a
limited amount of disk space to store a web site in exchange for displaying an
advertisement on their site promoting their service or an affiliate’s service.
While a free hosting service isn’t the most versatile option for your site, it
is definitely a good start for someone who is new to the Internet’s adult
industry and wants to learn more about the details of site building and
administration.

2. SHARED: Shared hosting services are the default option for most hosting companies. If
you do not explicitly order dedicated or co-located services, chances are you
are signing up for a shared service. Shared hosting means your site is being
stored on the same server as a number of other web sites. Unlike many free
services, most shared hosting packages allow you to have your own domain name
and up to 10-15 email addresses and aliases. Larger sites, however, likely won’t
be able to take advantage of shared hosting’s cost efficiency, as most limit the
amount of bandwidth available to your site, and offer smaller amounts of space.
When evaluating shared hosting packages, try to find a host that limits the
number of sites they assign to one server. The more sites that share a server,
the longer your site will likely take to connect to and load on the Web.
3. DEDICATED:
Choosing a dedicated hosting package is a must for sites who have a large number
of images, plan to offer any type of ecommerce or who intend to attract large
volumes of traffic. Companies offering dedicated hosting packages will provide
your site with its own server; your site won’t share a machine with anyone else,
and will have its own space on the hosting company’s racks of servers (typically
known as "rack space"). Although more expensive than a shared package,
dedicating hosting is a must for larger adult sites, as they typically offer the
most space and bandwidth.
4. CO-LOCATED: If
you’re apprehensive about leaving your hosting in the hands of another company,
but don’t have the funds to physically maintain a server and direct Internet
connection out of your home or office, a co-located server is the next best
thing. With co-located servers, a hosting company will connect your hardware to
the Internet and provide you with rack space, a secure environment to store your
server in, and technical support. What you are responsible for providing is the
actual server, maintenance and software. Co-located servers generally give you
more control over your hardware without having to worry about vandalism, theft
or connectivity.
How much space is enough?
The decision is ultimately up to you. However, make 10-20 megabytes (MB) your
absolute minimum, even if you are building smallest of sites. If you’re planning
However, you should always try to purchase more room than you think you will
need, thereby leaving room for expansion.
Remember, hundreds of companies are out there hosting adult sites. Don’t
settle for one that "sort of" suits your needs, and don’t pick the
first host you see. As a hosting consumer in a particularly competitive
industry, you have the advantage of being able to pick and choose. Use it to
your advantage, and get the exact hosting package you want.
