    If your host has been down for 2 weeks, why are you waiting until now to find a new host? Just a question...

    It was not down 2 weeks, it was never down once. He got caught for having adult sites when it's clearly posted in several places that adult hosting was not allowed.

    It was also clear from his support tickets he didn't have a clue about managing windows servers and programming sites.

    you know what mgphoto...

    My post is not with regard to my experience with you. I was referring to the host previous to you (2 weeks ago). They were jerking me around, that's why I signed up with you.

    You threw me off your server after 2 days because you don't approve of my content. Fine, that's your policy.

    Now, your insulting me, kicking me when I'm down.

    You're a hell of a guy.

    If i can recommend a GREAT host for adult content to you.

    http://two-a-t.com - They are a wonderful family owned company. Been around for almost 2 years and Chuck (The owner) is a great guy and super nice. You should really check them out if you host adult sites. He is big in that industry.

    Good Luck to you my friend!

    thanks for the tip matt,

    The problem is, I'd like a windows host that supports ms sql databases. I'v eheard that adult servers don't deal with windows and that's kind of where I'm stuck.

    I manage personal websites for escorts. They do have nudity and some of them are doing banner advertising but, they are not your typical "porn site". They don't get big traffic either. It's mainly just a show for their clients.

    Know of anybody that will take me on?

    Use the WHT search to find exactly what you're looking for: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/search.php?s=

    I did a search for "adult windows" and found a few pages of results.

    Or if you want even more results, Google "adult windows hosting" and then look for reviewshere for whatever hosts you find and decide to consider.

    Maybe you should say what your previous host was so people know to be wary of them... and it would have avoided the confusion that led mgphoto to post.

    Artane,

    What do you mean by adult servers don't deal with windows? What kind of application or site are you running on the backend?

    Do you use alot of bandwidth? Alot of adult concerns are running out of bandwidth and paying overage prices. If it's a dedicated server, look for a provider that gives about 2 Terabytes of bandwidth so you'll have enough room to expand.

    He's not running a porn site per se:

    So he won't actually need that much bandwidth.

    artane,

    Have you found a new home yet? If not be sure to explain what you plan to host and if they would have a problem with it! It may solve you loosing clients while you dive from host to host!

    Good Luck~
