Do you host Porn?????

[ArcticChicken]

but the internet is for porn!

Interesting fact; in the early days the internet was about 30% porn, it is now about 3% porn. The actual number of porn sites has not changed significantly in that time.

I own a web design and hosting company and at least once a week I get different people ring me up, their phone numbers witheld and they ask in a hushed voice "Do you host Porn?"

When I reply no they give me their life story of how their current host is kicking them off because of content and they really need the web space!!!

One even replied when I said no "Well it does not say on your site you don't you should make it clear!!"

Another said that the boss of the company said it would be OK I had great pleasure in pointing out I was the boss!!

Takes all sorts I suppose

WOW Thankfully I have never had that question at my job...

He said quite clearly he's just a host, he's not 'The Interwebs"!

... Are you implying he's fat?

No real surprise there, historically the porn industry has adopted new technologies more rapidly than other industries. If fetish porn doesn't bother you, go to behind kink and look for the episode on the history of the company, how it started is rather amusing.

either that or the companies that allow pr0n-hosting don't come cheap

Most of the actual servers hosting the porn are offshore in countries where that type of stuff is less regulated then say in the US or other countries. The companies themselves may also operate their Incorporation documents out of a file cabinet in the Caymens for example.

The other reason why a lot of hosts don't want to deal with porn is the shear volume of bandwidth that it can produce. I would think that this guy is either small time and trying to find a cheap host to start out with, or he has been a royal fuckup and been booted from the big boys and blacklisted among them.

That.....really depends on the fetish.
