    My SO uses a company/site named www.infinology.com His web hosting costs $14.95 a month. He's been able to build a unique site. Hope this helps you out.

    Toxic - first, can we see your site?

    Second, there are several who do thei own sites, here. Bella21 (http://www.yourbella.com for example) would be a really good one to check out.

    Nope, shut that sucker down. BF has it now. Toxic, what's your url? I'd recommend elitehosting. Up and coming server so they're cheap. Get ur domain name (about $5). I'd suggest "copyrighting" your name if you're really serious about it so someone can't ride ur coattails. Also, CCBill sucks a fatty, but they're the cheapest and so probably the best way to go if you're still starting.

    Hosting domains and all that stuff are the easy part. If you want to make a go of it, you need to get affiliates to send you traffic. You also need to update the site a couple of time a week and run a diary and chat section. One of the advantages of using ccBill is that affiliates can combine income from various sites, so if you are only getting a few signups for a site, you still get paid regulary.

    It also depends on the niche you want to target - softcore, hardcore, fetish and others all have different approaches.

    You could also explore a few other approaches - selling content sets via micro-payments for example, or using your site as a portal to a web cam site and including upsells on it.

    I recommend:



    MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE to select 'private registration' when purchasing your domain name. If you do not, your information (real name, home and/or business address) is in the public domain and can be viewed by doing a WHOIS search.

    If you'd like a professional website, I recommend:

    aphroditedesign.com
    vedadesigns.com

    They specialize in adult-oriented businesses and are quite affordable for the excellent quality of the design.

    I built mine myself and a friend hosts it. When I had a pay site, I was working for a company that made them, so it was easier. I can ask around if anyone I know wants to help you out. I might be able to get you a cheaper deal.

    And cam sites = ok cash. When I was on iFriends, I was bringin in about $800 - $1000 a week. And thats AFTER they take out their half.

    I've often wondered why most dancers who stay in the business more than a few weeks don't have their own websites. It would seem to be a site would be a great way to make some extra cash, especially if they have a webcam set up.

    Maybe this should be a separate thread in a different section.

    There are many ways to go about this I have links to a lot of amateur girls on my site
    www.pocketgirlmobile.com. Also check out www.adultwebmastershangout.com. There is a lot of different ways to go about this. PM me with specific questions and I'll try to help.

    Being a webmaster is tricky when starting out especially if you are having a pay site. creating traffic, making your site optimal for search engines. Legal stuff (2257) blah blah blah

    Good luck

    Default Re: want my own website

    Up until the first of the year, I operated a pay website and webcam. However, because of the Section 2257 issues and extremely high costs of online credit card processing for sexually oriented businesses I decided to drop both. My biggest motivator was that, under Section 2257, if you are operating an independent live webcam it is now required that you post your real name, real address, and real age on your opening webcam page for every surfer in the world to see. Failure to do so can result in a felony bust on a federal 'underage adult content' sex crime charge - which can stick with you forever even if the charges are bogus and no conviction is ever obtained.

    You can get around these issues if you do a 'partner' deal with an established website/webcam outfit who essentially fronts for you as the business entity and takes on the Section 2257 responsibilities ... however this comes at a cost of having to hand over anywhere between 20% and 50% of your own gross earnings to the established website/webcam outfit. Having to pay out that kind of 'vig' pretty much relegates an average website/webcam to an earnings potential less than live dancing.

    Actually, my REAL worry about Section 2257 compliance, either directly through her own independent website or indirectly by a girl having to provide her personal information to an established website/webcam outfit, is that the law provides for gov't agencies to be able to view this very personal information at any time without having to give a reason for asking. This law also gives gov't agencies the authority to use any information obtained as a result of a Section 2257 inquiry as evidence/probable cause for further investigation into possible criminal activity.

    Even more so than dancer's licenses (which are usually locally issued and non standardized), Section 2257 records provide the gov't with a nationally standardized list of girls who are actually working and earning money in the 'adult entertainment' industry ... along with all of the personal particulars for each girl necessary to conduct further investigation. This is an IRS agent's dream come true !!!

    This translates to mean that the IRS could make a single official inquiry to the webmaster of an established website/webcam outfit, and the webmaster would have to provide the IRS with a list of all of the real names, real addresses, social security numbers etc. of the girls working for/through that website/webcam outfit. The IRS could then make inquiries into every one of those girls' past tax returns, real estate deeds, car titles, bank accounts, credit card accounts etc. without ever informing the girl that such inquiries were taking place. The IRS could then compare each girl's 'spending habits' with each girl's reported income, and take further action accordingly. All of this could take place with a half-dozen faxes or phone calls from the IRS or a privately employed 'bounty hunter' working with the IRS, and without the need of demonstrating probable cause in advance, without the need of obtaining warrants, and without the knowledge or prior approval of any other gov't agency or of the girl herself.

    The first indication that a website/webcam girl would probably get would be an IRS Deficiency Notice, asking for say $100,000 in taxes on underreported income that the IRS 'reconstructed' for the past 3 years based on past tax returns versus mortgage/rent payments, car payments, bank account and credit card transactions etc. THIS is the primary reason that I got out of the adult website/webcam business before Section 2257 went into effect ... IMHO the rewards are simply no longer worth the risks.

    If you want to depress yourself, do a StripperWeb search for '2257' and read some of the threads ...

    Its not limited to the IRS, but since Bush slashed the IRS budget, nobody really gets audited anymore. IT happens but not like before.

    If that is the case I would suggest not putting it on the web. If it is out there people can find it. Once the search engines crawl onto your site then it can be found with some leg work.

    I thought you were looking to do a paid site with members. That's a whole different game than a blog or diary.

    I really havent done any research on section 2257 regulations, but I would guess that it doesn't apply to hosting companies outside of the continental US. Would this be correct? You sound like you have read it through and have a grasp on the situation.

    If so, this would mean that a web streaming company outside of the US can provide a cam service combined with a website to US based entertainers without the hassle of US regulations. Each entertainer would then simply be a legitimate reseller for that foreign company.

    Sounds like a plan. But could it really be that easy to get around section 2257?

    if you are not 2257 compliant then no US webmaster will do a link exchange with you or be an affiliate for your site.

    Duly noted. As long as there is a US presence, that side of things will be susceptible to the regulation.

    80% of your traffic will be generated from the US/UK and 80% of your traffic will be generated from other webmasters. There are so many good sites and programs out there , so there is no need for any webmaster to be an affiliate for a site that is not 2257 compliant.
    Sites that are not following 2257 are usually underground sites and are not following for a specific reason and to most webmasters find it disgusting and pathetic to use underage models.

    If you are just a hosting company a lot does not apply but I don't know much about that.
    Good luck

    There is tones of webmaster websites out there that can help you with ideas of how to turn your website into a pay site.

    but the key to turning it into a pay site is what billing system you are going to work with www.ccbill.com is the top payment system in the world for adult websites

    Then there is paycom.com, and verotel.com and but you can find tones more resources on adult webmaster boards. suchs www.ynotnews.com and www.gofuckyourself.com and www.pimpcafe.com

    There is soo many sites out there will be pointed in the right direction in a week or 2.
