I need data hosting for a site like OnlyFans (pornographic content)

Hi,

I have a simple php script, hosted at AWS.

I made some changes to it (php modification), and checked it always afterwards.

It all seemed to work alrigtht; no problems.


Then, I clicked in backend on 'create new content',
a function that creates new content.

Afterwards, nothing worked of moved any more, freeze.

The site was out of reach for 20 mins.



After that, site was back online - but completely changed.


All content, pictures, vids, are gone.

Design switched from blue to dark grey / black.

I cannot even log into admin any more, as it says password is wrong.



Does anyone know, what may have happened?

Anyone had ever similar issues...?



Thank you
Oliver

Hello,

We are looking for a dedicated server in UK with a bit softer DMCA policy (as we know absolute DMCA ignore is not possible in the UK). We have been working with redstation for the last 5 years without any problems, however, recently we have been a target of DMCA. We host media content mostly (no pornography or any graphic content. mostly indian media content uploaded by users). Upon a DMCA notice, we quickly find the targeted content, inform the user and take down the content. Recently happening quite often. Have worked with some good hosting companies in NL, however, the connectivity is not always that good to UK and having a big part of our client base in the UK requires us to have a local dedicated server. The configuration we expect is:

Intel Xeon E3-1231 V3 or higher
8 to 16GB of ram
240gb SSD (1tb hdd will do as well if no ssd option)
Bandwidth: we do around 50-60TB per month maximum. Would prefer 80 to 100TB monthly on 1gbps just in case.
Looking for recommendations.
Thank you in advance.

Hi!

I'm wondering if anyone know's a provider that can do the following:

5950x
64GB Ram
1TB NVMe
1Gbps (no more than 30TB needed)
Must be in Europe and must allow adult content.

The best i've found so far has been Hostkey for 186 euros p/m. Does anyone know anywhere that does a better deal than this? I've seen a few places that do them much cheaper but unfortunately don't allow adult content.

If you're wondering why i want this processor it's because i need it to be able to process CSVs with PHP as fast as possible so i need single thread performance.

Thanks in advance

Hello friends,
Hetzner, I have several servers on the Company. There are many websites on my servers. One of my customers' website cloudflare was complained and this complaint was forwarded directly to Hetzner.
The content of the mail is exactly as follows.

Hetzner sent me the following e-mail. We analyzed my customer's site in detail, but we realized that Hetzner does not violate any terms of use, someone seems to have complained unnecessarily to my customer's site.

Later I did a research on Hetzner. I saw that there were some people who received this kind of mail. They say that if I do not remove my client's site, they will cut off access to my server's IP address within 24 hours.

Has anyone had such a problem?

helo
anyone face similar issue like me the dedicated server suddenly completely down.. after some complaining to the support.. all raid disk cant access and no partition on it..
and one if their support said the disk is pulled due do child porn.. no warrning.. no information and suddenly they act like that. if i ask more detail which ip and domain , they cant answer it and dont want to give more information..
really funny about this big NAP company .. i suspect that my server accidentally removed by their system.

at first i suspend network or hardware problem.. mode investigation make me more confusing because their support seems do not say the truth ..

Hello everyone. Have been a long time lurker, but never registered. So, firstly want to say big thank you to this wholesome community for always giving great advices to everyone out there. You guys rock!

I am trying to find an alternative to Hetzner's SX133 which is ridiculously great priced. How do they even do that? Well done Hetzner. On 24/03/2021 - SX133's specs a
Intel® Xeon® W-2145 8 cores, 16 threads,
128 GB DDR4 ECC,
2 x 960 GB NVMe SSD,
10 x 16 TB (SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 rpm) a whooping 160 TB of storage,
1 Gbit/s connection,
Unlimited traffic,
159.00 (without TAX) I need this for an image hosting website, where users do sometimes upload adult content. Sadly Hetzner TOS (point 6.2) does not allow that and they are entitled to block access to the account of any customer who violates this. Which is fine - it's their rules.


My budget is 180 EUR (without TAX), but I don't even need such fancy specs as Hetzner provides. I am completely okay to settle with something like:
4 core, 8 thread CPU,
32 GB DRR3 ECC,
2 or even 1 240 GB SATA SSD,
The most important factor is storage. The more the better, the minimum would be ~100 TB (SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 rpm)
1 Gbit/s connection,
Website last month traffic was 500 TB, but since 90% is cached by CDN...would still need about 50 TB. Obviously unlimited traffic would be great. Seems like very few hosting companies actually offer dedicated servers for storage purposes. I have already checked OVH, Leaseweb, OneProvider, Flaunt7 and some local country hostings, but it seems like noone is even close in comparison to what Hetzner offers. It's like their offer is from the future and hopefully in 1-2 years time, others will get there as well.

It be nice if server were located somewhere close to West/Middle of Russia.


P.S As another option, maybe I could rent more then one dedicated server so that their storage capacity would be ~100 TB and going with CEPH instead of RAID6, but still, can't exced 180 EUR budget. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

I'm currently designing a new server architecture in colab with a server tech, we'll need 4 dedicated servers and he has recommended to setup server virtualization via Virtuozzo, his reasoning is that it will make it easy to migrate to better hardware when needed. This seems like a good idea but some devs are telling my that it will degrade the performance of the boxes is this true? His plan is to install OS on 2 x SATA(Raid 1) drives and then place the virtualization on 2 x SSD's (Raid 1)
I would like a 2nd opinion on this,
Does the virtualization degrade performance, IF it does then by how much? Is it really this convenient to use such a virtualization setup in reference to migration? Any other thing to consider?

Thanks!

I have been an IBM Cloud/SoftLayer customer since 2012. I decided to use IBM and pay an over-market premium because I trusted them. But it seems my trust has been misplaced. Yesterday, their employee <<redacted>> decided to shut down my main IP address without warning, rendering one of my websites inaccessible. <<redacted>> shut down my site without thorough investigation, based on false assumptions, without checking all facts, or giving me sufficient notice. IBM has my email address and phone number. I find this disturbing that someone can just shut down my website without any due process. I cannot trust IBM as a company. I believe this sort of behavior is unacceptable and illegal. My website's content is boring analytical - US Labor Market overview. No politics, just charts, and analysis. IBM seems to be very rough and deals with their customers like criminals. I am too old and too busy with my day job to deal with this sort of attitude. This site has been my hobby for the past 10 years. I want to find a hosting company that takes care of their customers and employees so that employees don't go ballistic running around and shutting down servers because they experience mental issues. I am currently paying around USD 200 per month. Something within this range is acceptable.

Host recommendations needed. Let me start by saying, THANKS in advance for your replies.

I own a (very) small US-based business and my website/email hosting has been with LiquidWeb since they acquired my previous host WiredTree.

LiquidWeb ignored a support ticket yesterday and as my yearly payment comes due next week I thought I probably owe it to myself to at least evaluate my options before it renews.

My biggest priority is knowing I have good managed support when I need it. Problem is, having support tickets linger in the cue for a day or so until I call/chat them and ask when it's going to get looked at has been a pretty constant problem since day one. And it's not like I'm inundating them with support tickets either. My website development has been on hold the past couple years due to personal reasons, so this might be the first support ticket I've even opened this year other than asking them to whitelist an IP because their automated process for that doesn't work.

Looks like I'm paying about $2,400/year for a Cloud Dedicated server and $800/year for a second smaller plan (old WiredTree VPS plan).

The main server appears to be 8 core (Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1271 v3 @ 3.60GHz) with a 24/900/5 config (I think). I'm not currently taxing the box at all; it's a total overkill in all regards. One downside to LiquidWeb is at the time I moved this server from a VPS to this plan I was kind of forced into a much, much higher plan than I really needed because every option in between had the same limited disk space my VPS had and the only reason I needed to upgrade was that I was pushing disk limits.

As such, being able to scale up or down in the future without having to make huge jumps is also important.

As of right now, the second (VPS) server could easily be absorbed by the first. I actually intended to do that a year ago when my bill came due but then life got in the way and it fell through the cracks.

Both my boxes are managed CentOS/WHM/cPanel with Root access. I did not migrate away from cPanel when the prices went up. If there's something legitimately better than cPanel I'm happy to evaluate it, but until then it's the devil I know.

Prior to WiredTree/LiquidWeb I had 2 VPS plans at ServInt. Originally ServInt was excellent... until they weren't. But even after they outsourced their support overseas, I really still didn't have support issues. I left ServInt because my boxes were aging badly and all signs said the company was in trouble. I will also say my brief experience with WiredTree support before they got bought out was amazing.

Before ServInt I was with Inmotion Hosting (originally shared hosting then a VPS albeit without Root access). I will say I have no desire to work with any host that sells shared plans again.

As far as budget is concerned, I can afford what I'm currently paying. Yes I'd love to be paying less although that's not what's driving this search. If I stay with LiquidWeb, I'll migrate the VPS into the Cloud Dedicated and downsize to $2,400/year. If I'm paying less elsewhere, I expect it's because I downsized the Cloud Dedicated server's specs.

When I left ServInt for WiredTree, recommendations from this site caused me to have a short list of WiredTree, KnownHost, FutureHosting and LiquidWeb. I've seen recent recommendations in other threads for KnownHost and BigScoots, so that's where my current short list begins. Any recommendations are appreciated.

I posted a TrustPilot review a few days ago describing my recent experience with Performive/Total Server Solutions. I have summarized that review here because I have benefitted from honest WHT reviews and feedback over the years which have helped me find great services as well as undesirable services to avoid. I'd like to repay the favor.

I was a big fan of Certified Hosting. I signed up for a budget dedicated server with them in 2011. The signup/setup was smooth and speedy, their data center speeds were superb, and their tech support was fabulous. In late 2018, Certified was acquired by Total Server Solutions, now called Performive. It wasn't long before tech support went downhill. Since then, I've had to contact TSS/Performive repeatedly about downtime and other problems that kept popping up every few months and never seemed to get resolved. However, I dreaded the chore of finding a new server host and migrating to another machine, so I grit my teeth and dealt with it.

On 03/12/2021, I was auto-billed by Performive for my customary six months of prepaid service at my negotiated rate of $75 a month. As usual, they charged $450 to my credit card. However, a month later, a guy I'd never heard of blasted into my inbox declaring himself to be my new sales rep and spouting dire warnings that my server had reached its "end of life," I was in breach of various banking compliance laws, a terrible security meltdown could happen at any moment, and I MUST upgrade my server immediately!!! I knew where this was going, and my suspicion was confirmed when Performive DOUBLED my monthly rate and demanded that I sign a 36-month contract at this new, inflated rate. They also switched me from managed to unmanaged and wanted to upcharge me to make the server managed again.

To be clear, this was completely unacceptable. I stated that the time to re-negotiate a six-month prepaid rate is BEFORE I've been charged and paid in advance, not a month later. Moreover, Certified had agreed to keep my server hardware and software up-to-date, and if TSS/Performive had allowed it to become an antiquated piece of junk with gaping security vulnerabilities as they claimed, the liability for that was on them. Nevertheless, I was given until May 31 to accept the mandatory upgrade and doubling of my monthly rate, which I declined. I agreed to vacate the server by May 12, the end of my second prepaid month, which left a $300 credit for the four prepaid months which Performive declined to provide.

I spent ten sleepless nights finding a new server hosting firm and migrating my web content, which I didn't plan on doing at a very difficult time of health and other personal issues. But I got it done and vacated Performive's server on schedule. Since then, I have sent multiple emails to their Billing and Sales departments asking that my $300 credit be promptly refunded. ALL of those emails to both departments have met with dead silence. Adding insult to injury, Performive emailed me three robo-surveys asking "How Are We Doing?" This is such a demeaning and insulting way to treat a 10-year customer.

Last Friday, I sent another refund demand, which I expect Performive's missing-in-action billing department and sales staff will again ignore. So, when my June 4 deadline to refund my $300 credit passes, I'm wondering if my 30-day Notice of Intent to Sue will bring another robo-survey asking, "How Are We Doing?"
