    Default Hosting Advice

    Hello fellow members,
    I'd like some help on hosting. I've read that some of you recommend knownhosting as a gambling-friendly host but upon checking them out, I've found this line in their policy about prohibited activities:
    "promotes illegal drugs, violates export control laws, relates to illegal gambling, or illegal arms trafficking;"
    Are they safe for an affiliate casino site or not. If not which host is?
    Thank you!
    worthy

    I use knownhost and they're fine with it. I think that illegal gambling refers to unlicensed casinos & sportsbooks.

    Affiliate marketing sites are different from actual casinos. Also, many cheap hosts are concerned with the impact of high traffic on their crumbling shared over loaded servers.

    Get a proper host, CDN and this issue should become a non-issue.

    You can always use GoDaddy (https://au.godaddy.com/)

    They're good and not too expensive. They also have no problem with anything gambling related.

    I don't know about shared hosting, but the VPS hosting package that I'm using is fast.

    GoDaddy OK.

    Avoid BlueHost at any cost... This hosting can close your websites at their own discretion.

    worthy, you made the right decision to join up with GoDaddy. You'll be pleased with it as it has many benefits.

    So GoDaddy surely accepts gambling sites? I realized they only have customer support by phone though, is that right? Sounds a bit weird. Also, I was wondering if anyone has any idea about how to move their BlueHost site to Godaddy?

    Hi all,

    I think this information can be useful for you. If you plan to get your website, here is one good free web hosting provider to choose - 000webhost.com

    They provide hosting absolutely free, there is no catch. You get 1500 MB of disk space and 100 GB bandwidth. They also have cPanel control panel which is amazing and easy to use website builder. Moreover, there is no any kind of advertising on your pages.
