Re: wordpress and hosting
I bought my domain thru godaddy.com and was using wix.com for hosting, but @ 9.95/month, plus it's all flash.. I decided to use blogger which is free. But if you are wanting to eventually make a members site, I would try using joomla that has built in components- I heard it's a lot easier than wordpress. Moonfruit does free hosting, and accepts adult oriented sites.
Re: wordpress and hosting
I advice against using wix, moonfruit, Joomla. Host gator is superb for hosting. wordpress is the best for blogging. I love my wordpress blog. I don't mind sending you the link via pm. If done right you can make loads with a wordpress blog. Host gator customer service is professional and hosting plans are cheap! Go for it!
Re: wordpress and hosting
I suggest you visit wordpressvsjoomla.com to come to your own decision regarding which platform to use.. as each has their own disadvantages and advantages.. Also, this really depends on you, the user. Wordpress can be pretty easy once learned... but wordpress is mainly for blogging. If you are looking to turn your site into a members site, than Joomla may be the better way to go.. but it simply depends on preference and what you find easiest to use. As far as hosting- I agree, Hostgator is great for paid hosting, and allows adult content. But doesn't allow any streaming content- so you will have to do that elsewhere if you plan to offer that. But if you don't feel like you can get the whole wordpress/joomla thing down, you may want to think about finding a 'drag & drop' site creator that also allows adult hosting. Or you can buy website making software from best buy or something.
Re: wordpress and hosting
I host my wordpress site on certified hosting. They are adult friendly. I think it was like $70 for the year.

A lot of member sites are designed on wordpress. I have seen sites where you can't even tell that it was built on wordpress. Should I post links? Wordpress is the best because you can use it for pretty much anything. That's why it's so popular.

Yup.

I too think Joomla is a bad idea. You can do pretty much anything with wordpress alone.
Re: wordpress and hosting
Sorry, I didn't feel like I was saying one was better than the other. I said it depends on preference and what you find easiest to use. A lot of people use wordpress, period. You don't have to convince me,.. I've seen many sites that use WP and Joomla- but Joomla has some features that are incomparable to wp.
Also, if you aren't tech savvy, using a website creator software with no html is easy to use, and for the most part, affordable.
Again, sorry if it was misconstrued to somehow sound like I was disagreeing with using WP, Not sure how that happened. I was trying to give her an alternative to WP because she said it was difficult for her to use.
Re: wordpress and hosting
i had a look at hostgator and i like it, plus i had a look at livesite to creat the site :D woohoo :D

Re: wordpress and hosting
For hosting I use http://www.geekniche.com/ and for streaming I have a plugin for members only shows on Streamate.
It's pretty awesome :-)
Re: wordpress and hosting

xxxxx
Re: wordpress and hosting
Email support and ask them to give you the code and switch for external shows on there.
Then with the code they give you, pop that in your site behind your password protection for members and hey presto, streaming shows! The other advantage is that guys can pay to view your show on SM too, so it's a little extra income.
Re: wordpress and hosting
