Does Anyone Use Hostopolis?
 
I've been searching for a new host. Hostopolis offers all I need at good prices. Does anybody use them or know their reputation?

mikeet 05-10-2017 07:26 PM

Never used them..
you looking for shared or dedicated?

Brad Mitchell 05-10-2017 07:53 PM

Never heard of them. You should check out the hosts which frequent this board and support our industry. Below is a link to our VPS and dedicated hosting options. I'm happy to help-

Brad, is it straightforward to import WordPress databases?

I have some WordPress sites looking for a new home.

I'm not Brad, but for the most part, yes.

Though I will stress that it's extremely important when migrating anything WordPress that you clean out all garbage before hand and update everything. Files, plug-ins, themes. Dump any plug-ins or themes that you are not using, they can carry very nasty trash with them. Think STD's.

Thanks for the advice :thumbsup

What's their URL? Hostopolis.com doesn't load and even Google didn't return anything hosting related for "hostopolis". Weird. Better go with some established and reputable host-check my sig.

HairyChick 05-11-2017 02:55 AM

Brad, thanks, I'll check it out later.

Denny, try dot net or dot ca. They have others, too. Their server close to me is in New York. I haven't run traceroutes yet.

Denny 05-11-2017 03:06 AM

hostopolis.net doesn't load either, .ca does but that domain gets no traffic, it's probably not a real host, just a reseller.

Exactly what Sly said.

And yes it's straightforward to move your WP sites, our staff will do that for you and you can work with them on testing. If you want a control panel and a plugin like Cpanel and Softaculous you can do that however it's not my first recommendation.

Not loading for me either. There are a dozen companies in the adult space that have small inexpensive packages. Go with one of them.

It loads if you spell it right :(. My bad. HostApolis.com

Well, that is just a terrible domain name and I hope they only spent $9 on it.

Brad Mitchell 05-11-2017 05:29 PM

You know that's not a real hosting company with employees, right? They also did a really bad job using search and replace on the terms of service.

OP should go with a real host, offering support ... Maybe a few $$$ more, but a good investment ....

You are one of them . :thumbsup

I don't know what kind of sites you are planning on but this is from their terms of service at https://www.hostapolis.com/terms-of-service.php.

Do yourself a favor and go with a bonafide Adult Friendly host that supports the industry.

Brad is one of the best :thumbsup

I had sites since 1993 and never had porn on any of them. In my niche, it wasn't necessary. Then 18 USC 2257 came along ... now it's just non-adult sites. With no privacy, no memory and no money, mainstream is best. In the future, though ...

Denny 05-12-2017 03:41 AM

If you are looking for reliable shared hosting, I'd go with Hawkhost or Hostwinds.

HairyChick 05-12-2017 07:02 PM

Thanks. I'll check them out and email Brad again. I may have ended up in the trash

Brad Mitchell 05-12-2017 07:07 PM

Uh oh! I think so. Email [email protected] and [email protected]. I'm looking for it-

Brad

Brad Mitchell 05-12-2017 07:17 PM

Nobody puts baby in the corner! Lol

Brad

Brad Mitchell 05-12-2017 08:41 PM

Still looking

j3rkules 05-13-2017 02:46 AM

I am using 247host and they are adult friendly. Their plans are very affordable as well and they offer an amazing support. Check out my signature for a discount. Have a nice weekend.

topadult 05-13-2017 03:20 AM

Some good hosting providers that accept adult sites:
https://www.crocweb.com/
https://www.hawkhost.com/
https://www.stablehost.com/

Brad Mitchell 05-13-2017 02:30 PM

Still looking for an email..

They only move cPanel sites. Hostapolis now says they won't either. Now I'm waiting for Brad to email me.

Brad Mitchell 05-14-2017 07:46 PM

Emailed. Thanks, talk soon!

Depends on how many sites you have. I recently moved a few WP sites there "manually" quite fast and smoothly.

sandman! 05-15-2017 01:27 AM

What control panel are you using ?
