Average cost to create and setup/host an adult video paysite?
 

I’m curious to hear, what’s the average cost to setup an adult video paysite? I’ve been quoted anywhere from $500 for a basic entry level adult paysite that’ll handle a minimal amount of traffic, to a budget of $15,000-$20,000 for a website that would handle millions of views weekly.

In your experience, whats the average cost of setting up and hosting an adult video paysite?

There is no real "average" as everyone has different needs :2 cents:

This is correct, there are a lot of different variables from a tech perspective but also from the owners personal preferences. Many pay site owners also like additional equipment to run their business such as deep storage and video encoding.

We have one pay site client that started with a $25 VPS. It did not take long for him to upgrade to a dedicated server though.

Determine what you have and want to build, then seek quotes. Keep in mind that you can always add on more power later.

You can get it done with $5,000 or less, just to start.
Let's say $1,500 for the design of the site, and another $3,500 to buy cheap content. You can sell a lot of memberships even with crappy content, if your website design makes it look great.
Rebills are a different story...

Your first cost would be content. Whether you buy it cheaply or make state-of-the-art porn will influence the investment you need. Once you figure that out, you can look at the available CMSs (sometimes inventing the wheel is unnecessary) or create your own if you have the dev team, the money, and a clear view of the final product.
From there, operational costs will consist of producing/buying new content, billing, paying affiliates (if you do affiliate marketing), hosting, and any additional dev/bugfixing.

Hello!

We provide comprehensive CMS solution with a monthly payment of $149/$299, depending on the features and benefits included.

Your MOST expensive and also the MOST financially rewarding will be the content.... If you buy the " recycled wham bam thank you mam" meat and potato porn pushed a lot here, you will go broke before you " get go" .

The cost of building the site itself will be negligible ( ok lets say 5 K max) comparing to a cost of a good and PROFITABLE content. Unless you have cash to produce original (and GOOD) content do NOT waste your money.

If you want to waste money then do not start a new site, buy a cheap tube ( dozens are pitched here) and try to live of clicks like many others do.

We are a CMS platform tailored for adult businesses, offering subscription-based services for starting adult paysites. With us, you can begin with a $149 monthly payment, covering all necessary tech work for setup and maintenance. Additional expenses would include server rent, domain, and SSL certificates. We would be glad to answer any further questions you may have

:2 cents::thumbsup

I spend about EUR 31 per month (not sure how much in USD) for hosting such site. I did the development works myself during my spare time ... and it's still living by clicks haha.... but the revenue is exponentially growth so i think it's worth to continue

at the very least, i'll try to hang on these until it pays the hosting monthly cost itself (well, it's dedicated server) or until the domain expired haha

31 Euro/month costs and enough clicks to make 31 Euro/month..... Hmmm...a real formula to riches :1orglaugh
