I need help picking a webhost

[zay]

Hey guys, let me start off saying that I really dont know much on this subject, but I do want to learn (but not by diving head first in the deep end). I have some free time on my hands and would like some help. The internet has a wealth of good information and a ton of crap information so I dont know what web hosting I should go for.


Now, what I want to do is have a forum setup similar to this in how the first page has all the sub categories. have all of the "Member" "register new" and all of those basic forum things. It will have nudity in one of the subcategories so the webhost would have to be cool with that. and since I dont know coding, the more GUI based it is, the much easier it would be for me. Cost is an issue, but I am willing to pay a bit more for something that is a little more user friendly with drag and drop or whatever may encompass user friendly in this field.

I hope there are Webhostings out there that fits these wishes and are in a low budget...

Also, what is that Vbulletin thing all about? and would I need to purchase that for my site as well if i want it to be good?

Oh, and if I put apps and movies in it too, Is there a way not to get in trouble (lawsuits or fines etc).. Like an offshore host or something? so that I cant really get in trouble for it? I dont know much about any of this stuff lol so it gets me a little worried. So if you can answer this too it would ease my mind some

Thanks again guys.. im staring at the monitor excitedly waitin for replies hehe

I would recommended you host with Hostbeyond they do allow adult content and warez linking which is what your looking for but if you don't want to cause confusion you should put up a DMCA page you can get a copy here. If you don't have the money you can get a nulled vBulletin I believe hostbeyond also allow nulled scripts so you wont have to worry about complaints from vB.

do they have to state in their TOS that they don't allow warez and stuff ? I read at the TOS from hostbeyond :

Unacceptable uses also include: ... warez, keygens, serials ...
Clients caught hosting any of the above will suspended without notice.

???

If that was true, do you think they would have HOTM award here on KWWH (warez webmasters board)?

Just PM apirateslife if you have any questions about HB, as he owns it


// Oops, didn't see 'hosting' either Thanks DJ Norix

[DJ Norix]

there is a huge difference between hosting and linking

[Nick]

WRZHost allows both, just turns a blind eye. You can ask them.
