What does SilverLineHosting.Com consider "Adult Material?"

Any site whose revenue is gained in part or whole from its adult content.

Photos or videos showing frontal nudity on either men or women for non-scientific or non-artistic purposes.

Photos or videos showing graphic violence or death.

Revenue-generating hyperlinks to sites who violate policy #1.


Why does SilverLineHosting.Com 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 websites. 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.

SilverLineHosting.Com reserves the right to decide what it considers "adult content", "adult material", "ually explicit", or "ually related". Let us know if you are unsure of the approval of your site before placing an order.
