AWS Servers

[xxify]

Are there any issues with hosting adult websites on AWS servers?
From what I read it seems fine, but I'd be happy to hear from experience...

[wankawonk]

AWS is fine with adult as long as you keep it legal

bandwidth is ridiculously expensive -- you definitely can't use them for CDN, and the bandwidth just to serve your HTML could easily cost more than the per-hour sticker price of your ec2 instance(s)

but their infrastructure is enterprise-grade -- smaller hosting providers might not be able to handle high traffic websites in some cases. AWS definitely can.

you get what you pay for, on small to medium size projects i'd prefer a smaller, cheaper hosting provider but AWS provides higher quality infrastructure...if you're willing to pay for it.

That's what I was hoping to hear, thanks!

As Wankawonk said: It's insanely expensive.

For adult projects, it might be difficult to make things profitable if you're running any type of free site. As soon as those tier 3 countries start dinging your server, the costs skyrocket.

ManyVids run on AWS

It cost me $4 a day to run a tube site with Google Analytics 1,000 daily visit.

$8 a month for CDN for now.

I don't have video content so traffic is not a big issue for me.
Anyway I use Cloudflare CDN

Can be done but won’t be cheap aws is overpriced.

You pay $120/mo to host a site with 1k daily???

Yes.
It's not a visitor that cost, it's video transcoding, image processing, data transfer, etc.

[sandman!]

You could do all the same for half the cost.

Do you want to share?

It's fast and secure, scale without doing anything, etc.

Contact us to order a server, update, upgrade... puff nope for me.

OnlyFans also run on AWS and many more big names.

If they can make it profitable I think I can too.

TrafficMansion has been running on AWS since day 1 for the last 9 years.

1) never had an issue relating to content.
2) never had a problem with affiliate traffic being routed over AWS

DatingFactory has recently been migrated over to AWS as well.

Yep, we usually save adult industry companies at least 50% of their infrastructure spend when they move from AWS to MojoHost.

Besides the auto scaling yes but auto scaling no , upgrading a vm takes a few mins tho not something that matters unless your scaling up and down a lot then yes aws is great.

Depends on your infrastructure.

Cutting down on expenses is very viable with AWS.

If you design your site to be a static site with an external CDN for example (VueJS + CDN) you can serve files from S3, no server needed with Lambda/Dynamo.

sandman! Thanks for your offer!
