you need to be very careful. if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. I smell a catch. there's always a freakin' catch with these people.

however, do let us know what hosting are you speaking of - you will probably get an answer from someone who has 1st hand experience with them.

Lunarpages...

By the way the name of the hosting firm is lunar pages...
They allow adult content on their servers for their 7$ per month plan but this website cannot contain TGP, free image galleries or multiple adult popups.

Quoting what they said:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
However, adult sites that require extreme amounts of server resources and bandwidth will be required to upgrade to a dedicated server plan.

Please thoroughly read our "Terms of Service",
http://www.lunarpages.com/legal.htm

We allow all kinds of adult sites. Free tgp (thumbnail gallery posts),
multiple adult pop ups, and free image galleries are allowed only on our
dedicated plans. Feel free to be as adult as you can be under the law of California.

It's the typical MASSIVE over sell approach to virtual hosting. When you see a hosting offer like that, realize that you are being lied to, being treated like an ass, and continue your search. The quote from them might as well say, "we'll sell you the resources, but you can't use them."

That amount of resources would require two 200GB drives. Hell, their largest stock dedicated server ($210/month) has a single 200GB and allows 2000Gigs of bandwidth. Now compare that to their virtual offer. And that's just what it is - a virtual offer - because it's not realistic.

http://www.colo-cation.com is the favored host of many people on this board. I intend on moving there as soon as I pull my head out of my ass.
