Comment on Ask HN: What web hosting service do you use? (2011 edition)

Comments

Ruby Ring Tech [http://rubyringtech.com/]. Dirt cheap, and in principle unmetered. (As I have not tried to test this claim, I just get the peace of mind I look for in unmetered plans.) Yes, they are probably <99% in uptime, but then I expected that, as my sites are just learning sandboxes.

Seemed like a good service - until I saw the Adult hosting.

What do you mean?

Edit: I just saw it [1]... Is your qualm performance-based, or ethical?

ethical

I believe they are tacky and shady in explicitly soliciting for adult content providers, but bear in mind that pretty much everybody is happy to host it, unless we're talking about illegal content. You'll have a field day if you traceroute any of the major porn sites. Or, to take everybody's darling, AWS, consider [1]. My bet is that pretty much everybody is glad to do business with adult content providers; they are just quiet about it...
