Hey guys, I need dedicated hosting and after going through tons of review sites for reliable and stable host, I still can't decide:juggle:
Can someone suggest a good host that could take a steady tgp traffic and not be crashed on daily basis... with around 1000 GB bandwidth and under $160?
Whatever your choice make sure your host resides in a country where you have legal recourse if something goes wrong.
Some owners of hosting companies live in countries where it's very difficult find justice, or they can't be extradited if they break the law or screw you over.
Find a host that is in your country, the U.S. or Great Britain as local laws are solid, the legal system works, and they have excellent internet connection speeds. Australia is a great country but it's illegal to host any porn at all on Australian servers, even TGP's.
I hope this helps :thumbsup:
Id recommend shooting an email over to Luke at http://www.chilihost.com :)
He has some great packages available and their servers are based in the US or, if you prefer, you can use their .nl based hosting :)

I recommend http://www.phatservers.net
They are an industry standard in the online adult community and have great rates.
They are located in the U.S. and give their street address and toll free phone number for support, as well as ICQ and email. They respond to support requests within 1 hour.
A great bunch of people work there and they've always been there for me.
But don't just take my word for it... here is a Google of 3,000 responses of people recommending phatservers :thumbsup:
Luke @ chilihost is a hosting god! You can be hosted in the US or the Netherlands with chili and he can do anything that you might need.
Dalimili, after being in the adult business for six years and using numerous hosting companies over those years which let us down in numerous ways each time - I'd highly recommend Luke and Chili Host - chilihost.com - Weve been with them now for a number of years - personalized & quick service, very reliable and affordable too. Nothing has ever been too much trouble or out of the question. They even offer USA based or European based hosting.
Dalimili,
Luke at ChiliHost is by no means the cheapest, but he's the best value for your dollar. He goes out of his way to help me, in fact, sometimes I think I bug him too much. He's helpful, courteous, responsive, fast, above board, and I completely trust the man with my business.
Dalimili, what happened to your sites a couple of weeks back would never have happened if you were with ChiliHost.
Cheers,
Michael
Chilihost doesn't even have a contact phone number on their site or address. All they offer is an ICQ and email addy. The owner doesn't even live in the same country as the servers he's managing! But to each their own. I've never used the Chilihost services so I can't comment on how good or bad they are.
dalimili, I have sent you an offer via a PM. As you can see, we do have a fantastic reputation and we are not afraid to battle for the rights of our customers ;)
cheers,
Luke
I will recommend Chilhost without any reservations. We have some of our stuff with them and I can say that Luke by far provides the best customer service I have experienced in the 8 years I have been doing this.
In all the time I have been working on the net, I have never had a need to contact any host that I have used by phone. I really dont get why this is an issue, although I dont understand all the underlying motives that may be behind the post.Quote:

All I know is the service is great, the price is very competitive, and I am a very satisfied customer.
Again, Dali, I would recommend Chilihost WITHOUT and reservations whatsoever.
:yeah:Quote:

You are fighting for this guys rights? In another thread it was said this was all taken care of and attorneys were involved. Which is it? The site's still up and you say you're battling for your customers rights?Quote:

Soliciting sex from a minor is illegal
I don't think the average person will take the time to scrub DNS info like that to make sure a provider is not hosting illegal material (i guess that would be impossible).
Seems the bottom line for making a hosting decision is price closely followed by good support and friendly service. I don't think anyone mentioned "Up Time" or whether the hosting company was in compliance with the million other laws and best practices that govern the industry.
I wonder if, as people become more savvy, they will begin to examine other aspects of the hosting provider.
For example a christian bible school website may choose not to go with a hosting company the hosts a KKK site on it's servers. That stands to reason - doesn't it?
At this point, in a clustered environment that christian website may very well be hosted on the exact same server as that KKK site. Do people even even think about that stuff when shopping for a host? or is getting the cheapest hosting price the bottom line?
Perhaps we'll see a lot more niche specific hosting in the near future especially as hosting providers may begin to find themselves on the hook (<= this kinda parallels Happysucks thread from earlier: New obligations on Internet Service Providers). Seems like this is already happening Adult Hosting, Christian Hosting, Hosting for Car Dealers and on and on ....
I'd Love some other view points on this ....
Might be a strange place for this but ... As a side note ... I just wanted to thank you guys for this amazing learning environment. I've learned a ton over the past month since i joined GWW.- more than any text book or couse at the community college could ever teach. A sincere thanks cj

Lee,
Anyone who goes to the site can see, with open eyes, that those links and JUST those links were edited.
Nothing else **** has been touched. JUST THOSE LINKS!
I give you quotes from the whole site.
Quote:
I consider myself to be on the large side of average, soft and hard, but going around the school yard at recess i sometime cop an eyeful of younger guys with huge bulges in the pants, like today, i was a grade 8 kid goin past and his dick would have been hangin at least 5-6 inches, its so obvious and huge :wow: , and there are so many of them.
I was saw the grade 8 kid (from above) lying down on the hill in the shade at recess with two of his mates, they were on there back and comparing who had the biggest bulge in their pants.
So any of you guys got some stories of young guys with bulges?
Quote:
For those of us not American....how old are 8th graders?
A few people get upset - only to have it all wrapped up into:Quote:
Like, 12-13.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...ff&q=lpsg+kids - A Google link with some of the "Text"Quote:
geez, the people on this site are unbelievable sometimes. Do you guys really have to be SOOOOOOO damn sensitive about the age thing all the time??? I mean, we're not even allowed to MENTION the penises of 13 year olds? We're just talking about it... this is a site about dicks for crying out loud. You're in the "Young and Hung" section. Loosen up your nerves for a little bit. Just because you talk about 13 year olds, that doesn't mean you're attracted to them or are gonna rape them or some shit. It's not like we're posting pictures or anything.
You see - Mister Mark had an EZboard at one time and on there he would post storys about kids and with that caused a split in his users.
This also lead to the creation of SafeLPSG (no longer around) were users felt "safe" because it would never be home to CP nor would it support anyone who produced CP. Even if it meant finding a new Host, They would not put up with CP nor those that covered up the truth about it. They were TRUE to their words when they said they did not like it, support it or want to be around it!
People can say all they want about Chili and how Great his servers are but bottom line is he knows the site has this content - Has known the site had this content and continues to host a site with this content. All that has been done is the removal of a few posts that were linked from here to save face and make it look like something was done. End of story.
From another thread - A: The user is 14 and B: The thread is about the SIZE of kidsQuote:
I am 14, and my size is in the signature. I swear I haven't exagerrated it, because I want to actually learn something here. How big were you when you were 14, has it grown since then? Please estimate if you can't remember. :D
And from a "Member's ages thread"

And so on and So on - some of these users also have self pics posted in the gallerysQuote:
17 Jr. year in high school fun fun
So I guess the comment "At least we are not posting pics" is out the window.. Eh?
Yeah my whole point was about the site, not who hosted it. Only until later did I find out it was Luke, and then I thought things would go down differently then they did.. now I'm the bad guy for trying to bring this site to peoples attention.
If we don't step up and try to take care of things ourselves, we will be regulated more then the movie industry is.
This experience has shown me just how far we have to go to work together to make things better and how money, clients, and friendships are more important then getting this kind of material off the net.
There are SO MANY more **** posts on that site.. I only listed 3 because I have better things to do with my time then to troll that site for the sick crap.
We already know the site will stay up, nothings going to change, people will keep posting there, at least I tried.
Again, you seem to be missing the point here..
What you quoted ISNT by definition, child porn therefore, Squirts accusations about there being child porn on the site were false.
No matter how much we think that sort of stuff should be considered child porn, it isnt.
Is that type of content on a site in bad taste? Absolutely and i would never use such content as im certain you wouldnt but, the bottom line is, a host just cant close someone's site down because a group of people disagree with the content on it, hell if that were the case, there wouldnt be a single porn site on the web thanks to religious groups.
Do i think the owner of that forum is irresponsible for allowing that type of material to be posted? Absolutely.
Do i think Luke has done the right thing by not closing the site down? Absolutely. If he closed the site down, he would run in to a heap of legal problems from the site owner, the least of which would be getting sued.
Luke is protecting his business, his personal feelings havent come in to the decision to keep hosting the site, he made a sound business decision.
If i were in Lukes shoes i wouldnt close the site down either because, both me and my business would get sued. If the site owner was doing something illegal, then yes id close the site down as im sure Luke would.
Again, its not rocket science, the site owner isnt breaking the law so the site stays.
Regards,
Lee
So Let me get this right. Letting 14, 15 and 16 year olds post on the Adult site. Post and Host SELF PICS on the adult site and Look at Galleries on the Adult site - in a member section mind you with full access by the Underage members... isn’t CP, Hosting TOS Violations and Against the Child Protection Act?Quote:

Have you seen pictures of children on the site? If so, report the site to ASACP and to Luke via PM giving him the URL to the pics being hosted.
To say Luke is hosting CP without being able to give him proof, just isnt right and you shouldnt expect the site to be closed down.

Lee
as my lawyer here in the u.s. explained it to me, it's not legal for adults to be talking sexually to minors. any site who allows that is breaking the law. it's not about cp. there are laws around adult that have nothing to do with porn.
in canada, if the adults try to get the kids to meet with them it's luring or something like that.
i like luke a lot - he's been super nice to me always. but i can't imagine hosting a site where men can talk dirty with minors, pics or no pics.
feel free to delete this post if it makes anyone uncomfortable - i won't bug about it.

The site owner is clever in that we can't contact his billing company because in order to see his join screen you have to first become a free member, then after that you can upgrade to a gold membership from the protected page.
This isn't about Luke, this is about a **** site. Focus on the site, who cares who hosts it? jeeez

So even if you think the 15 year old posting his cock pics isn't CP, the people picking up on him are breaking the law. If that's not a violation of any hosts TOS then I don't know what is. And this isn't isolated.. this is what a lot of the site is about. There is even a section dedicated to meeting people in your local area :pimp: http://www.lpsg.org/forum/index.php?showforum=51

To all others, if you have any concerns over this site please contact the new owners, the DNS information should be propogated to your local ISP by now and since this is public information, I am able to share it with all without violating any client trust.
Well Michael, Today I had another shit with this hosting company /hostdime.com/... suddenly I woke up and found all my sites dead and all I could see was "Bandwidth exceeded"....Quote:

I gotta move fast
You'll never have a problem like that with Chilihost.
