Servage is German based which ain't adult friendly.

Do you still have balls to host adult material with them ?

I was looking for a small static account. I guess i will looked for something else

They're also shitlisted.

try DWHS.

Source??? ................

thats bullshit

ages ago before i got my own hosting, i emailed them asking about Adult content and they were cool about it.

I full explained to the sales rep i wanted it for a network of porn sites running scripts etc, and he said as long as the server side processing wasn't too heavy it was fine.

I still steered away, cause those too good to be true deals always bite you in the ass. :)

And then I learnt my lesson when a fellow GFY member stole $100 off of me for hosting, and then closed my account a few days after he'd got my money.......

luckily ive now got some server space that is by NO means the cheapest, but the service is great and the server is about 30 miles away from my house :)

Agree GM - it's bullshit :pimp

Also agree it's not a great idea to host critical websites with em - they are much the same as the other cheapo hosts like dreamhost. What ya expect for $7? Blood? :-)

Why is that?

not good.not good.been with them 2 years ago!stay away if you are smart

I have one account with them for small mainstream stuff. Uptime is not the greatest in the world but the worst in my opinion is the clustered hosting, which makes it impossible to have any access to server logs and error logs. So I have to rely on third party software to read stats.

Other than that they have a load of features and plenty of disc space.

I have a bunch of small time stuff hosted with, never any problems, when I asked about if it was legal to host adult stuff with, theysaid they didnt mind as long as what I did was legal...

hardcore content is illegal in germany unless it's protected by some avs. So it's virtually impossible to host pornography on german servers without fearing a shutdown...

Hardcore is NOT illegal in Germany But it's illegal to prsent hardcore to minors without any protection like an AVS. Of course a site, which is hosted in Germany, could be taken down by law and the hoster can't do anything.

IMO it depens on where you are based, not where your server is based. You don't need 2257 documents if you are in Europe, even if your hosting company is in the US

that's what I tried to say :)


Might be true... I guess that if you aren't targeting the german market specifically and aren't hosted in Germany, you're well off concerning any governmental prosecution...

come on guys im so happy with servage, support fast as hell, anything can be done fast for me. and you said germans are not adult friendly? i am sorry i dont know laws, but i know that germans are, and take it in funny way, the biggest porn pigs, so in my eyes its misleading information. anyway thats only what i know and what i have with them, so only my :2 cents:

You are right, but if your site is listed on the German censor index (yes, it gives something like this in Germany) and they get aware of that your site is hosted in Germany, they are allowed to take it down. Of course, it's a theoretic thing, would happen as often as a webmaster would be jailed when he comes from abroad to visit the US and does not apply any 2257 documentation :)

well, your experience beats our theoretical approaches, I guess :thumbsup
