Thank you for the feedback so far!

Let me elaborate the adult / non-adult webhosting a bit further.

There are certain challenges in adult website hosting: they generally deal with much higher traffic than most "general" websites, which is the reason why most adult websites are sooner or later get kicked out from shared hosting plans, and "forced" to buy dedicated server / VPS packages. Due to high traffic they also eat up a ton of bandwidth as well, something that is, if not optimized, can be quite pricy for both the owner and the provider.

Another issue I see is that a lot of the widely used scripts are quite old (5-10+ years), so to run them the hosting provider needs to run older versions of the environment, something that is both a performance and security challenge.

And we are only scratching the surface here. Wouldn't it be nice if your hosting provider could connect you, or even help you to integrate with payment providers who actually do adult, or if they would offer services like click-tracking, bot detection, and things like that? Just a few examples.
