Adult Site
Policy
Go Back
Because
the Internet is a global communication tool, and we have clients
from nearly every country in the world it is difficult to
dictate what is considered "adult material". However, it is not
our function to discriminate against those who choose to utilize
adult content or adult related material. This being said, there
are still several reasons why ITS Group Information Technology has been forced
to create its no adult sites policy for its virtual server
users.
What does ITS Group Information Technology consider "Adult Material?"
-
Any site
whose revenue is gained in part or whole from its adult
content.
-
Photos or
videos showing nudity of men or women for non-scientific or
non-artistic purposes.
-
Revenue-generating hyperlinks to sites who violate policy #1.
Why does ITS Group Information Technology have this policy?
Bandwidth and Resources
A virtual server is a shared environment where many servers
reside on each particular machine. This being said, consider
that an average "adult site" gets more hits than 100 standard
web sites. Some of the smaller adult sites get around 5 GB of
transfer per day. With these types of resources being utilized,
our servers would be severely slowed if we allowed these high
traffic sites to also reside on our servers. On top of that, we
would be forced to raise our prices to pay for the additional
bandwidth. We strive to keep our servers fast and inexpensive,
and our bandwidth clear; therefore, adult sites are not an
option.
Image
Also, our research has proved that most businesses do not wish
to host their site with a company who also hosts
pornography-related sites - whether or not the site is on the
same server or on its own dedicated server. We wish to project a
professional image, and it is difficult to do so if we host
these types of sites. We believe that to have your site
affiliated with, or on the same servers as, adult sites could
lead potential prospects away from your business. As a result,
we will not host adult sites because it may endanger the
majority of our clients.
