Webmaster Central, Inc., the adult video company in Tampa
Search for “Webmaster Central” and Google mostly returns its own former webmaster tools, renamed Search Central, along with the Live Search Webmaster Central that Microsoft ran in 2008. Webmaster Central, Inc. is unrelated to either: it is a Florida company that leases adult video to commercial sites.
Who can lease Webmaster Central content
Only a subscription site qualifies: members pay by credit card, which doubles as age verification, and log in with a username and password. The rule covers the free materials too. The videos go inside the members area, never in a free section, and other sites may not link to them. A tube can still qualify through a paid premium section, which is what Webmaster Central recommends for free sites.
You also hand Webmaster Central a working login to your members area so it can inspect the feed for as long as the videos are up. Without it, the account is not activated. The artwork supplied cannot be altered, and doing so ends the agreement on the spot.
The license is limited, non-exclusive and non-transferable, and lasts while you are an active customer. Stop paying and the videos have to come down. Webmaster Central can also close an account at any time by email. Performer age records for the scenes are kept by a custodian of records.
Webmaster Central pricing
A category costs $99 a month. All categories together cost $999 a month. The company advertises more than fifteen categories and a $500 saving on the bundle. With exactly fifteen, the saving works out to $486, and it grows with every category beyond that.
The first month is prorated, then payment is due at the start of each cycle. If it has not arrived by the fifth day, the feed disconnects automatically. One fee covers several sites, but each site can trigger excess bandwidth charges, and the monthly price can rise with usage after notice.
Exclusive 4K scenes start at $199 and come with hundreds of non-exclusive 4K movies. VR content starts at $299. Trailers and images are free for every client to use on tours and marketing.
How the videos reach your site
The Secure XML Gateway gives you each scene plus its thumbnail, duration, title and niche, to play in your own player on web or mobile. Webmaster Central lists HTML5, JW Player, Flowplayer, WordPress, Joomla, Elevated X and mobile apps as compatible, along with a JSON gateway. It fits a VOD site, a clip store or digital downloads.
Templated feeds are ready-made channels by niche, updated weekly, in a fixed layout. The white label is a branded content page on your own domain, matched to your colors and logo, with deep links and analytics. Content for these formats is served from a CDN in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and India.
For a Mechbunny tube, Webmaster Central does the integration itself, for around $100 a month and more than 10,000 HD movies. In that setup you host the video files.
Cam sites get a specific use: the gateway can show scenes from a model’s niche, for sale, on her page while she is offline.
Is Webmaster Central still active?
Webmaster Central, Inc. says it went live in 1996. A 2022 press release dated from Tampa says 1998, and webmastercentral.com was registered in 1997. The site footer still reads “Copyright 2021”, the latest news post is from 13 July 2022, and the previous one from June 2019. The home page counters for clients, HD videos, white labels and awards show no numbers. No phone number or postal address is published, only a sales and a tech email address.
There is no checkout and no price list beyond the home page. You fill in a request form, tick the products you want (XML gateway, templated content, white label or VR3000) and wait to be contacted. Free samples are offered for the 4K and VR catalogs.

Webmaster Central compared with other video sources
Tube Corporate gives its videos away with an ad-carrying player and suits the free tubes that Webmaster Central turns down. Eporner API and RedTube API only provide metadata and embed codes. A paid members area that wants videos in its own player gets that from Webmaster Central, for a monthly fee.
Eporner publishes its whole video catalogue as a CSV file rebuilt every day, with categories, quality and models that the live interface leaves out.
Read the review Eporner API →RedTube API returns twenty videos per call, with no account and no key, each with its tags and player address. Separate lists give 111 categories and 23,480 performers.
