Adult Script Pro Community Forums

This would be so awesome to have

@Symtab, it's all good. As long as my post is helpful to others, I have no problem.

1. Many adult websites were registered off-shore mainly to avoid DMCA takedown issues or evade taxes. When it comes to taxes, the government will get back at you sooner or later. When it comes to DMCA takedown issues, I would not making enemies. It is already hard for new comers like us to progress, if we make enemies now then it will cause us problems in the future.

Me personally. I have my site hosted in USA with a .COM domain(.COM extensions are USA domains) and all my sites media on an off-shore (Netherlands, Sweden, etc) server. I still take swift action when it comes to DMCA takedown notices and what not but it's a bit of extra protection just in-case I get sued. Another bonus with a Netherlands server is that it is kinda in the middle on the world map so the connection time is lesser than it could be.

If you do use the multi-server feature on ASP then there is absolutely no reason why you shouldn't use Cloudflare. Saves a lot of costs and ups the sites performance.

3. Don't worry or think about making money for the first 4 months at least. Concentrate on building traffic, content, SEO, keeping members on the site, advertising, etc. Then you can start with ads. You can probably start with ads after the first 2 months but don't make money your goal for the first few months.

4. I would personally recommend Ramnode (It is unmanaged though). They have amazing performance, reasonable prices and great support. Especially if you are looking at having a lot of videos on your site then you can look into their SSD-Cached plans. Here is one of the SSD-Cached plan specs.

And yes, they allow adult websites. Another thing that I missed was that I started off on a VPS. I have 0 knowledge in server management, I wasted a lot of money here with server costs, control panel, and a server admin. I completely overlooked the fact that I can easily start off on a shared hosting and save not just time but money.

5. To run it anonymously as possible. Get an off-shore VPS provider that accepts BTC (Pay in BTC), get a .NET or .ORG domain and to receive payments to a bank, get a card like readydebit or those prepaid cards with which you can withdraw money from ATM and deposit checks. The rest on how to stay anonymous is up to you but I would recommend providing your real name on sites you register.

6. In my opinion, it is important to have a privacy policy, TOS, etc. You could use a generator to make one but you should always know and follow what your terms state. Some people say that you should get the TOS, etc written by a Lawyer or a Paralegal but that's not necessary in my honest opinion. Hell, I had copied my sites TOS from another site and then write a new one after a few months. When I wrote my own  one out, I did basic research and used the help of existing templates.

Before starting, you must have a strategy or a plan on how to advertise your site and where you would like to see your site in a few years. Example: If you want to turn your site into a large company one day then you can *** REMOVED *** :-)

OR

If you want to sell off your site in a year or two then you can just go with the cheapest hosting provider out there and just worry about content on your site, traffic and SEO. You don't have to worry about the uptime, web design, etc.

That's one of the videos I'm facing problems with.

True. I can understand. I will send you an e-mail with the list of names when I'm on my personal laptop. The problem is currently there on the website, can you please take a look?

I messaged you my SSH log in yesterday.

I happened to figure out this problem. For some reason why accounts group was "Registered" instead of admin. Maybe someone knew my password and wanted to do something, I don't know but the solution was basically found from an old post on this forums.
