:cartman: I don't understand.
They always charge adult web more than general website.
Does 50kb of porno jpg is not equal to 50kb of cartoon jpg ?
We pay for data transfer. But why they offer at higher price ?
example:
plan 2 - 500Mb space , 1 GB bandwidth for $15
( adult website add $15 )
Oh!!!!!!!!!!

Not too sure why - bandwidth is bandwidth.
One thing though, adult sites = influx of hackers/DoS attacks so it might be more because of that - ie it is risking their network to host you.

I think that is becuse it is much more possible that if a host offers 10GB transfer for a 9,99 $ he thinks and is usually right that a customer want use more than 10-30% of the GB's..on the other hand Adult site usually spent all their bandwidht included in the plan.
A solution would be (and you see that often) charing a lot for overtraffic. If they use all their bandwidth you'll know for sure they will cross the limit once(when their site gets more popular)
Then you can earn some money back if you charge 2-3 times the bandwidth price.

Angel78 is right.
The average game only works for usual customers, not for adult hosting.
Yeah, whenever users hit their monthly GB limit on our servers I would say 35-40% of the time its because they have porn on the site. I know I had one guy doing 14 MBit/s with a porn site steady and he told me he only needed 2 MBit/s.. Thats porn for ya.
