Backup Backup Backup
If you've been diligent with your backups, you've got a lot of insurance to fall back on yet always make the latest backup. If you haven't, before you do anything else, do a backup now. Backup anything and everything you can and don't forget your database if your site relies on it. Save at least 2 copies and store them separately. One for you to work with, and the other as an archive. Do not underestimate how easy it is to copy over these files as you make changes or simply mess it up.

After planning the design and content of your website, it's time to actually physically set up your website. This is the step where you put all your designs and plans into action, creating a website that will attract visitors and earn income. And one of the most important steps is to select your web hosting provider.
A webhost is a company that stores the pages and pictures and other files of your website. When a person visits your website, they will request these files from your webhost's server so they can view the website. When choosing a webhost, be careful to choose one that is reliable. After all, if your webhost has problems for any reason, people won't be able to visit your website, and you won't be earning any money. Read more... - Free Web Hosting - What Is It All About

In 1999, a Forrester Research survey found that for 58 percent of adult Web site customers, download speed was the primary consideration in evaluating a site. In other words, for adult site operators, download speed translates into money. For this reason, it is essential to settle on the right kind of hosting arrangement. While so-called "free server" packages might seem attractive, they are a poor choice for any business - especially one with high bandwidth requirements. When it comes to download speed, you get what you pay for. The same is true of shared servers, which charge an average of $50 per month. Although shared server companies can offer advice and services that free servers don't possess, they also come with severe bandwidth restrictions. For the would-be adult site operator, dedicated server is almost always the best way to go. Dedicated hosting means that the relationship between Webmaster and server is one-on-one. All of the available bandwidth belongs to a single client, so there is no risk of bandwidth theft. The amount of storage space, or "rack space," averages four gigabytes. Another bonus is the uptime rate, which is often as high as 99.995 percent - or four minutes of downtime per month. Dedicated servers tend to be niche-oriented, or specialized. You choose an operating system that fits your needs, and customize it for your site. E-commerce, e-mail interactions and multimedia programs are all at your fingertips. The host provides the tools for administrating the site, and this allows you to devote your time and energy to your business. Dedicated servers should have exactly what you want, and should give you only what you need. Of course, dedicated servers don't come cheap. Not everyone can afford dedicated hosting, and most newcomers to the industry don't have the luxury of shareholders breaking down their door. The premium dedicated hosting that is designed to manage high-traffic adult Web sites costs approximately $1,200 to $1,500 per month ... a substantial increase from the $50 shared server fee. But if the price tag seems unreasonable, your business plan may need some revision. Dedicated hosting is expensive, but most industry experts know that it offers a tremendous return on investment. A recent study by IDC revealed that most hosting customers realized a 301 percent ROI when outsourcing rather than maintaining operations in house. The future of dedicated hosting looks bright. Bandwidth prices are being slashed by 20 to 30 percent as bandwidth and telecommunication companies battle for market share - and for the individual site operator, that's money in the bank.
