Hosting suggestions for a site with SOME adult images

Wardy · 23-05-06

I'm a bit stuck as to what to do.
I am creating a site that will have users submitting pictures/images to.
The site is not an adult orientated site but I know that some of the pictures that do get submitted are going to be "adult" (nothing hugely obscene or illegal though I don't want).
My problem is that although the site is not adult orientated it will most likely receive some images that are (and I can't control what people upload). Most hosts do not allow any sort of images like this yet I am reluctant to use hosts such as http://adult.occhosting.com/ that just seem to specialise in adult hosting.
I really wantted to use a UK host but it seems less likely I will be able to. Rackspace do allow some madult images but I don't have the need to have a server to myself for it.

Does anyone have any other reccomendations or suggestions for hosting ocmpanies who will accept some "adult" related images (just to clarify, I don't want anything illegal or obscene).

Cheers

Hi Wardy,

I have used Hostgator for my dedicated box for years now and have had no problems what so ever. I'm still impressed to this day with the amount of bandwidth, storage, account extras and the freedom to do virtually what ever i choose. You can obviously sign up for a smaller account if you're just looking for somewhere to park your semi adult stuff which they do permit.

Thanks for the link Paul, they look good.

A bit of a shame they don't allow you to run regular cron jobs in intervals of under 15 minutes though.

I would think that only applies to shared accounts mate. If I wanted to gobble up all the resources on my own box and run cron jobs every minute then that would be my problem and mine alone. I guess that's the trade off with shared accounts.
