So in part 2 we went over the most common type of adult websites and now it is time to decide on a domain name.

Choosing your domain name is very important. Your domain name will want to reflect what your website will be about. You can choose from a variety off TLD’s (.com, .net, .org etc.) .com is the most common. Your domain name will be your permanent location for your website. Other people will find your site by typing in your domain name ( aka URL) into their web browser.

Once you have decided on a domain name, you can purchase your domain through Naked Hosting during the sign up process. The cost for domain names are $15/year. You can also purchase ID protect, which protects your identity from being displayed on domain whois lookups. ID protect is $10 per domain, per year.

That is the basics of domain name purchasing. In Part 4, we will be looking at what it takes to create your website.

Our existing customers were a little jealous that our recent promos had been for new customers only. So…we decided to show them the love with our February “Sweetheart of a Deal” promotion. New and existing customers get 50% OFF any shared hosting plan, any term.

Fall in love with Naked Hosting all over again with Promo Code: LOVE! Offer good until 2/28/10. For more information, go to http://www.nakedhosting.com/promo/

*Existing customers may receive 50% off any purchase of an additional shared plan to their existing account.

Ok, so here is Part 2 in regards to how to get started with an adult website. My last post described how to pick a web host that specializes in adult content. Now that we have that under our belt, what type of site are we going to build to display, market and sell our adult material?

Well, there are a lot of adult website options; here are a few of the more popular ones:

Free Sites – A sampling of content, relative to the niche you will be advertising. The idea here is that surfers will view this content and want more. This teaser is setup to entice the surfers into clicking on the advertisements/banners on your site, signing up or purchase the product/service you are promoting, thus earning you money.

Galleries – Thumbnail gallery posts (TGP’s) are popular due to the vast amount of free content available via sponsor hosted galleries. Individuall thumbnails (small pictures) or a small group of thumbnails are posted on TGP’s in order to showcase content that is available on a specific paysite. The idea here is to place banners to the paysite the content is related to, in hopes that the surfer will want to see more pics of the particular model or niche and signup to that site. Bingo, you guessed it…earning you money!

Membership Sites – Membership sites are a bit harder and more costly to get going. They require a large amount of content, at least one billing solution and a lot of knowledge in regards to programming, etc. Most webmasters will start with a free site, galleries or a blog prior to diving into the adult membership site arena. The idea behind a membership site is to offer surfers a membership to the site for a fee on a trial or monthly basis.

Content Sites – Without Content sites, none of the above would be feasible. Content sites are collections of content produced for the sole purpose of reselling. If you are a content producer or are looking to get into content producing, Content sites are a great way to get your feet wet within the adult industry without having to worry about the surfer side of things.

Ok that is the basic types of adult sites, but really the sky is the limit! Step # 2 Choose a site type that interests you and run with it. You can go big or go small, either way it is important that you find something that peaks your interest as it will show through your site and make it more believable, more successful.

Coming up on Part 3 – Deciding on a domain name.

So you want to get in the adult industry? Ok!

Let me start off by telling you that the days of making money in adult are NOT gone! You just have to work smarter and harder:) This multiple part series of how to get started in the adult industry will help in this process.

Now on to the good stuff…

First, let me ask you a simple question. If you needed to have major surgery, would you go to your local butcher? I mean, he is good with a knife right? WRONG! So if you are in need of a host for your adult site, wouldn’t you want one that specializes in adult content? YES!

Adult websites are a breed of their own. They require specific software requirements, certain server settings and more bandwidth and storage that a typical mainstream website. With 10 years of adult hosting experience, Naked Hosting knows what it takes to run a successful adult business.

So to sum it all up, Step #1: Do yourself a favor and choose a host that specializes in adult hosting. Don’t be fooled by mainstream hosts that allow adult material. It is not the same!

Coming up on Part 2 – What type of adult website is right for you?
