Content restrictions
What content can I upload to my website?
You can host any kind of content unless it is restricted by the company or the country where servers are located. You can find the list of forbidden subjects in the companies ToS (Terms of Service). They’re usually located in the website’s footer or you can simply ask the support team to provide you with the link to companies’ ToS.
What content is forbidden?
We recommend to check the company’s ToS to find out which content is restricted. Nevertheless, the following content is forbidden by most of the hosting providers: sites distributing drugs or medication without a prescription; gambling sites; adult content; fraudulent sites (phishing), hate sites; sites that infringe any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, or other proprietary rights of any third party; sites that profess hatred, in particular for social, ethnical, religious or other groups etc.
How to find a BulletProof hosting provider?
BulletProof hosting allows you to upload any kind of content (including the restricted ones). This information should not be removed by the hosting provider in case someone reports an abuse. However, please note that these companies usually don’t last long. Therefore, we recommend to think twice before ordering hosting from such providers and especially before uploading forbidden hosting. Though, if you are sure that you need this kind of hosting, feel free to check our rating of BulletProof providers.

Actually, sites with adult content (that doesn’t involve animals, children or violence) are not restricted in most of the countries. So, if you are going to host this kind of content, feel free to check our rating of adult hosting providers here.
We highly recommend not to purchase the cheapest hosting package. Usually, they come with a row of issues: the server is often down, the hardware is outdated, lousy and slow support, registration and payment errors, etc.
For your convenience, we have created a tool that can help you to choose the right hosting package for you just by answering a few simple questions.

Moneyback policy allows the customer to receive a refund for his order within a certain period after the purchase.

Bulletproof hosting - it’s a type of service that allows to host almost any type of content, even the restricted one (adult content, warez, spam etc). Bulletproof hosting providers do not remove your content in case someone reports an abuse.
Unlimited hosting - refers to companies that provide packages with unlimited disk space, bandwidth, number of domains, databases or email accounts, etc. This is usually a marketing trick but sometimes you can find something worth a try.
Secure hosting - it’s a type of service when the hosting provider is mostly responsible for the security of the user’s account: updates the software installed on their servers, provides an antivirus and malware scanner, firewalls and basic anti-DDoS protection, etc.
DDoS-protected hosting - companies that provide packages that include anti-DDoS protection. These packages are considerably more expensive than regular ones. Nevertheless, they’re totally worth their price because the company will ensure that your website is secured from cyber attacks.
Most websites require MySQL and PHP installed on the server to work correctly. Almost all hosting providers support these technologies.
