Hello Everyone ....

This is my 1st day here and my 1st posting !! I decided to introduce myself in this forum because, for now, this is where I'm going to need the most help. I can see from reading several of the other forums over the last couple of days that many of yous guys have been in this business for a LONG LONG time. And that's good for me - cause yous guys are experts at all aspects of this business. Now let's see how you treat a new guy like me.

I'll fill everyone in on my plans and hopes and dreams for my future sucess as I go along, but for now I need to get to my question about hosting.

3. How do they handle bandwidth overages? If you are having a great month but they shut you down because of your BW that can cost you a significant portion of your efforts.
Well where does one find out this info about a potential HOSTING provider? And what does AUP and TOS stand for? (Although, I'm thinking TOS is 'Terms Of Service' - I may be a Newbie, but it's not my first barbeque :evilgrin:

I just brought my 1st ever domain name and host provider this week! And I'm hoping I haven't made a mistake. I went with 'Bluehost'. I've been research things for about 6 months now and have done some Blogger stuff and even had an Admin account over on YUKU for awhile (so you see I'm not new to forums like this one). But I'm going to start slow - workin' with Bluehost so I can work and learn Wordpress alittle better. And right now all I'm going 'LIVE' with over there is a VERY PERSONAL and NON GAY related blog. Like I said it's JUST a blog and I really won't be working on traffic building or anything like that - don't really expect much more than 20 people to ever even see the sight (mostly it's for my family and friends and I get me in a regular habbit of posting and throwing up some content on a regular basis.

But I do have plans and ideas for future sites and I'll use this domain to A) do some delevopment in the background B) Launch some GAY, but not PORN (well maybe softPORN) sites. C) Learn as I go.

OK ... That's enough for now. Mostly I want to know how Bluehost is with GAY/PORN - I guess that's one thing I forgot to look into. And now that you mention it - I can't seem to find their TOS - but I'll keep looking for it, that's for sure. And I still don't know what a AUP is?

Thanks for helpin'
