Web with erotic themes
For the purpose of this guide, we consider an erotic website to be any publicly accessible website containing any erotic or pornographic material.
They normally belong here:
- sites sharing third-party production in the form of video, photos or other,
- public and closed discussion forums,
- platforms for sharing users' or visitors' own productions.
It is not the content itself that is problematic here, but the normal surges in traffic, with accesses typically rising into the hundreds of thousands in a matter of minutes. Pornographic sites are often visited by people using public identity-hiding services (TOR, VPNs). Many of these services are heavily exploited for attacks, so our protections often block them.
If attackers and malicious bots are plaguing your website, consider deploying WEDOS Protection ⧉.
Services for hosting websites with erotic themes
Websites with erotic themes are not recommended to be hosted on shared Webhosting due to normal performance bumps. These spikes threaten our infrastructure and problematic webhosting must be reduced or shut down during peak times.
So choose a dedicated service such as:
- WMS ⧉ - vitrual server with dedicated power but Webhosting control;
- VPS ⧉ - virtual server with freely configurable performance;
- Cloud ⧉ - space for setting up any number of VPS; or
- Dedicated server ⧉.
Not every adult-themed or adult-content website needs dedicated hardware. You can usually run the following on shared Web hosting:
- e-shops with erotic goods,
- personal and corporate presentations.
Always place videos outside of Webhosting.
Solving content problems
The VEDOS Terms and Conditions ⧉, in particular the section General Terms and Conditions - Exclusion from Service, are the starting point for solving content problems.
We always follow the applicable laws of the Czech Republic and pass on any complaints.
- Complaints about your content are forwarded to you. We do not provide the complainant with contact details, the message is forwarded by customer support. It is up to you to take further action.
- Obviously, we must take immediate action in the event of a clear violation of the law. These cases involve blatantly illegal content and internet fraud.
- In the event of a call from the police and authorities, we always follow the applicable laws.
