What would I need equipment-wise and how much would it cost??

I am talking about running my own servers...

Are there any public domain adult pix out there?

I know I am asking for it but I am asking a serious question...

no jokes, please....

Man, I've dreamed of doing this for the longest time. Do you want a partner? (Business, not sexual.)

You need a shit load of bandwidth if you expect to be successful. Start saving for at least a leased T3 line but more like an OC3 - especially if hosting video.

You can get by with a series of Dell Rackmount webservers and a large number of fiberchannel RAID arrays. Make sure they are hotswappable.

You'll need a system to cool all of this equipment just like the big boys use so dedicate a room and hire someone to bring in an environmental system to accomodate this. You'll likely also need dedicated power as your home wiring likely won't take the load of this much equipment.

Start reading up on firewalls because people will be trying to break into your site almost constantly if you have any decent content.

There may be legal concerns regarding permits in your municipality so research that before you even seriously consider this as it may be a non starter depending on where you live.


- or -

You could talk to rackshack, ev1servers, serverbeach, etc. and just lease servers from them and let them deal with all the pain of keeping the site up.

:lol :lol :lol

That made me laugh to the point everyone in the office is looking at me.

Do you want to host a site or create your own. I would think that the only sites that make money are the ones with some original content, not just the canned stuff. Get a couple of DV cameras, get an apartment to film in with some nice furniture, and alot of hoes. preferrably some known hoes but mostly some hot local hoes.

In that case...
Do you want a partner? (Sexual, not business.)

I can recommend ev1servers but you may be interested on talking with them about your content (they are super-reliable and they won't rip you a new one in your wallet, ev1 domains are also dirty cheap) If you are feeling a little lost or your are not trying to bring up a pro site there are adult host specialists out there, google a bit and you'll find a lot of them

PS: givemepink is where is all the good, go and learn from them :D

The equipment is the biggest expense. It really depends on what kind of site you are trying to open up. Seems that the "reality" sites are the real moneymakers nowadays. It seems the variety of girls is more of a draw than a single-girl site.

I can offer you my services to film the said original content even though I've never filmed in my life :lol

If you're actually serious and end up going through with this, lemme know. I know some people who can help you out with that ( from the technology perspective AND from the talent perspective).
 
What kind of porn site are you going for? Are you going to hire chicks and take naked pictures of them? Are you going to hire chicks and film yourself banging them?

I suggest heading to the nearest maternity ward and handing out free booze and drugs to the new fathers in order to insure that you will have enough physically and psychologically abused women to take advantage of in the future.

What would I need equipment-wise and how much would it cost? It would really depend on the type of site you want. You need to decide whether you want video, pictures, both or what. I would explore the various adult webmaster boards out there for information. Spend some time getting to know the industry before jumping in.

I am talking about running my own servers: I wouldn't, there's plenty of affordable hosting.

Are there any public domain adult pix out there? None that you'd want to use, free porn is blah porn. Again, visit some adult webmaster boards, spend some time and ask lots of questions! Xbiz is a great start. I run two TGP sites and am damn glad I looked around before jumping in.

I can direct! But only straight porn, no fruity shit please. I've always dreamed of being a porn director or photographer. I'm good at that kind of stuff. I also could be a good producer also. I know who to ask and how to ask for the money needed.

PS i'm desperate and need a job and this would be one of my dream jobs.

Oh, and don't forget the galleries links that just link to non-related gallery links!

Christ those stories from Gamefan must have had a lot more truth to them than I originally knew.
 
man, i've always wanted to do this. give people good porn, then kick back, relax, and count my money stacks. so many porn sites are garbage, do it right and your paid! go for it klee!

note: i find it amusing that i'm cheering on a man whose reviews and impressions i used to read oh so many years ago...

Well, I am just in the research stage right now....

I have a business partner who is willing to put up the money and I would like to host it myself if possible.....

I am not getting into porn and I am happy with my wife to provide all my banging needs...I am purely looking into this to make money...

I am wondering if there is public domain adult images or what?

If you are starting up a site...how do you get the images??

I see stuff like porn vidcaps out there but I would think a person might get into legal problems if you bought a DVD for $40 and uploaded the stills?

Do you just pay money for a CD full of stills and upload *that* to the 'net?

If you're actually serious and end up going through with this, lemme know. I know some people who can help you out with that ( from the technology perspective AND from the talent perspective).

Yes I am very serious....pm me...

PS....my 'ho hiring days are behind me :)

I don't think you'll really get anywhere with public domain content, and that's if you find any because most of the "public domain" stuff I see is really licensed content with the urls cropped out.

This forum has a wealth of info for aspiring webmasters, just search around a bit.
