I use this company www.namesco.co.uk for all my domain buying and hosting. I haven't heard of the other but always helps to compare prices at least lol

hello,

Do you buy form there because they allow .xxx names? Something else that just occurred to me  does anyone know if web host people one.com will host adult websites? Haven't built the website yet but worried they may just shut it down if I did.

Also, my other main concern is really the whois search. Would  my domain be protected on a site like that or do i have to go elsewhere to protect it such as 123 reg?

I believe that when you buy a .com registration, you should have the option to purchase domain privacy at the same time. This will hide your WHOIS information from the public (Wiki article here). You should be able to easily see whether or not a domain registration company provides private registration during the purchase/checkout process, before actually handing any card details over, so if the option isn't there at the same time as choosing your domain, it's likely that they don't offer it.

Relatively few hosting companies allow adult websites. The best thing to do (with this query and the one about domain privacy) is email the domain registration and hosting company (or you can choose separate companies to do these two jobs and link the domain to the hosting afterwards) directly. That way, you'll also have their response in writing which might provide a little protection should they "forget" that they agreed to allow adult content or whatnot. This is very unlikely but I always do like to have a bit of written evidence for things, just in case.

(I just had a look at One.com and although it looks initially cheap, for your needs it will likely end up being very expensive. Better to pay a little more at outset in exchange for the peace of mind knowing your site will be safe, generally.)

(Oh, and also, we have a hosting company mentioned in our Recommendations article on the main SAAFE site, here: http://www.saafe.info/recomendations.htm)

So I would be wary about using [One.com] for an escort site.
The same applies to any "free" hosting, most will not allow adult content.

Sorry yes - I should have been clearer about exactly why it often turns out to be very expensive going with the cheap/free options, i.e. you end up having to go and pay for proper hosting anyway when the free option shuts down your site or offers terrible customer service or doesn't allow adult content etc etc! (Not to mention all the expensive extras they'll try to push on top of their "free" hosting, and hidden costs and all that. Like any "bargain", really, you have to be super-careful about what exactly you're getting and what exactly you're paying.)

I would have thought xw5 would be able to do just the domain registration sans hosting/building/design but yes, best check with him when he comes along. He handles all the technical stuff for yourescortsite.com and I mostly just redesign the site in varying shades of pink.

I've been with them for years long before there was any mention of .xxx but they know my site is adult as they are very keen to sell me .xxx lol but I'm not going too
