Your going to have to, because U.S. based hosts are under strict jurisdiction because most adult hosts usually link to illegal content. I am not saying you will, but it will be hard to find a U.S. based host. You can try U.K. though.

That is a false claim. Adult hosting is out there in the US by far. There are even US hosts that market toward it. But the majority of (US) datacenters allow adult, so long it's legal adult. Most of the time the host simply put a clause in their TOS about it as they don't want it becoming an issue.

US hosts are not under any "strict" jurisdiction. Pornography is completely legal in the US, expect for child pornography and everything of the sort. It is up to the site owner/operator to inform the visitor that adult content lies within.

Here are a few (of the many) us DCes that allow (legal) adult:


Legal adult content is allowed on SoftLayer dedicated servers.

Steadfast: As long as the content is legal, we will not suspend your account wihout notice, though we do reserve the right to refuse hosting to any party for any reason with proper notice being given.

That was the first 3 datacenters that popped into my mind. There are many many more.

Yes, that is correct. I made a broad statement.

here you go sam..

HostGator, Hostican, DreamHost and Lunarpages all allow adult sites so long as there is nothing on the site that breaks U.S. laws. Read through their terms and agreements and you'll see.
