If only porn was legal to be hosted in the UK, it would be a viable option.

Notice the quantity of hosting sites with designs from template monster. and no actual photos or real company information.

Unless that $5000 plan is being sold by a company with other profitable accounts and annual revenue above 5-10 million, I would steer clear. The numbers are the numbers, can't have 1000 megabit of usage every month for 12 months even on a 50+ gigabit commit from one of the largest carriers.. let alone space, power, multihomed bandwidth, a server and support.

My advice, buy what you need not what you think you need - from a reputable company in adult.
