Hello, right now my site is hosted on
http://www.mybbwebhost.com/ but everyday I'm in parania because at any point somebody can post pornographic material and my account can get banned. I want to switch hosts either today or tomorrow to something corporate such as Host Gator (I heard its good for forums). I'm looking for recommendations on different hosts. I'm also looking for a host that can help me with DDOSs by filtering IPs.
CHECK THE LAST POSTS IN THE THREAD BEFORE POSTING.
Umm, most hosts won't allow porn but as long as you moderate your site pretty well it shouldn't a problem. I mean I doubt they are just going to shut down your hosting right away for one picture (assuming it's not like child pornography or something).
And, off the top of my head I'm pretty sure host gator doesn't allow porn either. And for true ddos protection you'll need more than most shared hosts will offer.
For DDoS you could try using Cloudflare as a proxy, also Hosts usually wont suspend your account instantly, they'll probably warn you. As long as you remove it asap it'll be fine

Well still, I want to change hosts to things else.
Then you'd need an offshore host. But that could triple your hosting costs.
Don't worry. Most hosts will give you fair warnings before the suspend you. Zash is a great guy, I bet who would.
Maybe other, more 'corporate' hosts will cost less, right now I'm paying $8/month for mybb web host.
More corporate usually cost less because they oversell. And I doubt it there's such a "corporate" host that allows pornography on their servers. I guess the real question here is if you want to allow porn on your website or if you're just worried that you'll get suspended if someone posts porn without your consent. If the latter, it's nothing to be worried about.
Due to the nature of mebes.net I assume its the latter, and also because of annonymous posting, it is quite possible that they will get spammed
I've come to the conclusion, again, that it's too early for pornographic material.
But going back to "corporate" hosts, with their 24/7 support, many cpanel options, and their lower prices I think it'll be a better choice. Thus, can somebody recommend me any?
