What kind of sites can I host?? Advise needed
Hello,
I would like to know if any one knows about any stats or regional laws that limits us to hosting certain types of websites.
I know that Warez and illegal MP3s are not allowed but what about
- Self recorded MP3s?
- Legal Adult materials?
Are we governed by our local laws or international internet laws?
Thank You-=- GQ Hong -=-

there is no such thing as internet laws!
mp3's are fine, as long as the person hosting them has the copyright and/or full permission from the copyright holder.
Again, legal adult material is fine but I personally think you're either an adult material host or not, mixing the two isn't for the best.

Nope I provide free web hosting and one of my users is asking if I can host his adult discussion forum
And just in case some of my members abuse my service and load Porno into my sites. I don't want the police to come raiding my centre and shutting down my servers-=- GQ Hong -=-

I advise not to hose adult material as it brings down you reputation to get good sites on your server(s). It isn't against the law to have porn sites, but I wouldn't do it.

You should host them seperately, after all sites like PlayBoy and Sex.com are also hosted somewhere right? Im sure police wont raid your centres and shut you down because if so then we wont have any Adult sites on the net.
My advice just host them seperately on different servers."Web Hosting is not just about selling space, it is about facilitating customers needs with your plans and supporting the customer for a long lasting mutually beneficial relationship."- Yaser

Nope I am not starting this out. A client asked me to host his site for him as his other host was too expensive for him to up keep.
As I host for free ( with Banner Ads ) he asked if I could help him out.-=- GQ Hong -=-

LOL I will talk it out with him and if it works out I will just place it in another server.
I guess I would have to start looking around for another type of advertiser..... because the worse part is that its not in Engliah-=- GQ Hong -=-
