Due to their typical performance requirements, we do not recommend hosting adult content websites on shared Webhosting. Choose a service with dedicated resources, such as WMS ⧉, VPS ⧉, Cloud ⧉, or Dedicated server ⧉.
In this article, you will learn:
- How VEDOS defines adult content websites
- How to choose a service to host such a website
- Handling content issues
- Frequently asked questions
Adult content website
For the purposes of this guide, an adult content website is any publicly accessible website containing erotic or pornographic material.
This commonly includes:
- websites sharing third-party content in videos, photographs or other forms,
- public and private discussion forums,
- platforms for users or visitors to share their own content.
The issue is not the content itself but the usual traffic spikes, which can involve hundreds of thousands of visits within minutes. Visitors to pornographic websites often use public anonymity services (TOR, VPN). Many such services are heavily abused for attacks, so our protections frequently block them.
If attackers and malicious bots are putting a load on your website, consider deploying WEDOS Protection ⧉.
Services for hosting adult content websites
Due to typical demand spikes, we do not recommend hosting adult content websites on shared Webhosting. These spikes threaten our infrastructure, so we must limit or suspend the affected hosting during peak traffic.
Choose a service with dedicated resources, such as:
- WMS ⧉ – a virtual server with dedicated performance, but managed like Webhosting;
- VPS ⧉ – a virtual server with freely configurable resources;
- Cloud ⧉ – capacity to create any number of VPS instances; or
- Dedicated server ⧉.
Not every adult-themed website needs dedicated hardware. Shared Webhosting can generally run:
- online stores selling adult products,
- personal and company presentation websites.
Always host videos outside Webhosting.
Handling content issues
The starting document for handling content issues is the VEDOS Terms and Conditions ⧉, particularly the section General Terms and Conditions – Exclusion from Operation.
We always follow applicable Czech law and forward any complaints.
- We forward complaints about your content to you. We do not disclose your contact details to the complainant; customer support forwards the message. Further action is up to you.
- We must act immediately in cases of clear legal violations. These cases involve obviously unlawful content and internet fraud.
- When requested by the police or authorities, we always act in accordance with applicable law.
Frequently asked questions
Do you have a problem with adult content?
As long as the website operates lawfully and does not threaten our services or infrastructure, we have no problem with it.
I submitted a complaint about objectionable content but no one is responding. What should I do?
We intervene only in exceptional cases requiring immediate action. We forward other content complaints to the service operator and act only at the request of the police or authorities.
