    Site Builders and Hosting Compared

    You best bet for something small and easy is probably a simple Wix, Weebly, or WordPress hosted site. The link above will get you on your way though.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    On top of what was suggested, YouTube is a good source as well to see those step by step. If you want your own domain name and such then godaddy, other places can sell them for the year. Hosting and security can be done via a place like hostgator. They are pretty good at explaining what they offer. Have any questions reach out. Make plenty websites in my life lol.

    I use godaddy for my domain and site, but ya have to know HTML coding for text if not using one of their templates.

    I use cutiestools as a "cheat sheet" for HTML lol

    I highly suggest staying away from US-based hosts like godaddy. Due to SESTA/FOSTA, they will hand over your information to the authorities and shut down your site. If you want a website, I can't recommend orangewebsite.com enough. They are offshore and you can choose your hosting and domain offshore in Switzerland or Iceland. Make sure to choose private registration when you sign up for hosting and your domain. You want it to be hosted in a place that doesn't have a handshake agreement with the US. Really, orangewebsite and godaddy are comparable in features and price anyway. You can also pay for orangewebsite with bitcoin, so that you can remain even more anonymous. I paid $100/year for two websites with orangewebsite.

    Now if you don't mind taking the risk of your website getting shut down, you can build a website with wix (read their terms of service), yolasite (read their terms of service), etc. Just be mindful of their terms of service on each platform regarding adult-related businesses/escorting/pornography, which can also get your site shut down if someone reports it.

    Also, escortbook.com is an escort site platform (they are offshore and offer free templates or you can pay).

    If money is no object to you, you can go to redumbrella.ch and have Missy Mariposa (a provider) design and host your site and domain for you.

    I also do web and graphic design for people. I usually design all my ads, signature banners, profile designs, etc myself.

    Anyhoo, those are just my suggestions. Let me know if you have any questions.

    I haven't had any issues with GoDaddy and I've had my website up for over 2 years now. I've even spoken with customer service on several occasions and they obviously know EXACTLY what my site is advertising. LOL

    Yeah....I guess it's a risk. But so far so good for me

    If I do ever have any issues, I will definitely check out that orangewebsites.....Thanks Annie!

    Kai, my own ~SP (premium) website domain which was through escortbook.com is disabled, you can no longer pay for your own domain if on US soil.
    I chose to perm disable my ~SP site as EB no longer offers premium services to USA. Still a good platform if you want a free website here in the US if the spam isn't an issue for you.
    Personally, the free option doesn't work for me, I cannot and will not deal w/the spam that comes w/the free option.

    Yesterday from EB:
    "Hello,

    In USA we have no longer the possibility to offer premium services which included a domain name.
    We can offer this only for users that are not in USA, because the law is different there

    Thank you!"

    I had a rather odd experience involving the website... Someone took it upon himself & created a website w/o my permission. I didn’t know he was going to do it! I get a pm from him saying: I hope you don’t mind, I created a website for you... I wanted to do it myself, to learn to.. I then told him I wish you would’ve at least asked me first & Then I asked him to delete it. He told me that it would take 24 hours. Mind you before he deleted it I asked him for all the info and he never supplied me the info. I’m not pissed off about it. I’m not gonna blow a gasket. I just find it kind of weird and a bit annoying. But to those of you who have suggested which websites. I greatly appreciate it.

    ^ Really Kai? Wow. That is weird. Did he use pics you had online? And make up the blog and "about me" stuff? The 24hrs thing was just global dns propagation. The site can still be shutdown immediately even if the dns records are not fully propagated globally.

    Hopefully you got it resolved to satisfaction? If you didn't lmk. B/c there are also options which arent entirely legal but are fairly easy especially for most of the overseas solutions people end up using to host stuff like this (unless they really know what they are doing). In this case I'd consider it fair game though haha IJS

    This was the first thing he said to me: Anyway your ads are good simple and you have all the info just change up the headline simple, sexy, catchy and short ..

    And then there was this: I went ahead a created your website. You can change anything on the site. Very easy to edit and I can show you. It pretty much has everything

    And here’s my reply: Oh wow I am so is there a way that you can send me the login information? I would like to have access to it since you created a website for me without my permission. I greatly appreciate it, I just wish you would've asked my permission before you did it.

    Followed by his last statement: I was going to send you the info it is on a 14 day trial
    I know you wanted a website ...

    He never sent me the info. I don’t know what name he used. For the login information. He did use my actual name not my government name but my hobby name. And he put rights that I guess he said were similar to what I had on my rates here.. I tried to email the website but I haven’t heard anything back. And I guess he copy and paste it or downloaded pictures that were already online. Because I just went through my text log to make sure and just to be sure that I didn’t send him any and I damn sure didn’t. I just think it’s a bit much for someone to take up on themselves. Yeah he thinks it was a nice gesture because he said: I know you said you wanted a website so I just wanna head and made one for you.
