Host4Porn review: adult hosting from Hackensack, NJ

How to cancel Host4Porn without a penalty

Host4Porn renews automatically, and a cancellation must reach it in writing at least 5 days before the billing date, or a penalty of $175 or one billing cycle, whichever is less, applies. The request goes by email or helpdesk ticket and must include your client ID, signup email, order number and domain. Your site goes offline at cancellation unless you ask to keep it up until the end of the paid period.

Refunds are only possible within 24 hours of a payment, and a full billing cycle is deducted first, which leaves nothing on a monthly plan. An account 10 days past due is suspended with a penalty. Domain purchases are never refunded.

Host4Porn pricing by plan

The yearly price shown on each page is a term discount of about 10%. The monthly rate is the regular rate, so there is no introductory price that jumps at renewal.

cPanel comes with shared hosting but not with the VPS, where Plesk adds $15 a month and cPanel $26.99, taking the entry VPS with cPanel past $40 a month. The terms also warn that prepaid accounts using a control panel may get a mid-cycle invoice to cover license price changes.

What Host4Porn actually meters

VPS transfer is metered: 6 TB a month on the entry plan, 20 TB on the largest, and every extra gigabyte costs $0.50, which is $500 per terabyte. A tube that overshoots by 2 TB pays $1,000 extra that month. Dedicated servers come with an unmetered 1 Gbps port.

The other pages contradict themselves. Shared plans list unlimited transfer while the page header promises "350 GB Data Transfer", and reseller plans are sold with "Unmetered Traffic" while each tier caps transfer between 250 and 600 GB.

Host4Porn dedicated servers

All four dedicated servers are managed, with four IPv4 addresses and an unmetered 1 Gbps port: Advanced at $274.99 (two E5-2660 v3, 32 GB), Pro at $349.99 (two E5-2660 v3, 48 GB, four 1 TB SSDs), Deluxe at $399.99 (four E7-4870, 256 GB) and Ultimate at $499.99 (two E5-2690 v4, 64 GB, 1.92 TB NVMe). These are older Xeon generations. AbeloHost, for comparison, rents a Ryzen 7 7700X with 64 GB of DDR5 for €319.99 a month. Bulk email is not allowed on these servers.

When Host4Porn can close an account

Host4Porn can close an account without notice or refund when its usage rules are broken. Gambling sites are not hosted.

The terms let Host4Porn limit, suspend or end service without notice for "any other good cause", including paying late more than once in 12 months. No DMCA or takedown procedure is published.

Host4Porn advertises an "Honesty Policy" yet does not say where its servers are or when it started. Its parent, Whitelabel IT Solutions, founded in 2015, runs an 18,000 sq ft data center in Hackensack, but Host4Porn does not state that its own machines sit there.
