We don't sell you hosting. We make sure you're on the right one — and we keep it running.

It's 1am on a Friday. Your traffic is peaking. Your escort agency site is up — until your mainstream host quietly reads its acceptable-use policy, decides "adult content isn't aligned with our brand", and suspends you without notice. We've watched this happen to too many operators. We don't run your hosting; we put you on the right host for what you've built and we maintain the setup so it doesn't fall over.

01 . The wrong host is a ticking clock

Why hosting is a decision most adult operators get wrong.

We've inherited dozens of adult sites from operators on the wrong provider, watching them get suspended without notice when an internal policy review flagged their content. The pattern is always the same — a vague AUP email, a 24- to 48-hour grace period, a forwarded ticket nobody answers.

01

The AUP can change at any time.

The policy you signed up under in year one is not necessarily the policy in year three. Adult-content carve-outs get tightened quietly, especially when a host gets acquired or a payment processor leans on them.

02

Mainstream support isn't trained on adult risk.

When a competitor files a malicious DMCA against your domain, mainstream support takes the path of least resistance — they pull the plug and ask questions later.

03

The plan is rarely matched to the build.

A WordPress agency site needs different resources than a directory with 50,000 listings, which needs different again to a custom Next.js subscription platform. Most operators end up under-provisioned during peak hours and over-paying during quiet ones.

02 . How we set up hosting, by stack

Right host, right plan, right configuration.

We pick the right tier for your traffic and stack — never overspec, never under-provision. The hosting account is in your name and you pay the provider directly. Wave69's role is the setup work and the ongoing maintenance.

WORDPRESS · STANDARD
SiteGround

For independent escorts, agencies, massage businesses, and standard ecommerce. WordPress optimisation, daily backups, SSL, fast UK and EU data centres, support that won't fall over the moment you mention adult content. We've run adult sites on SiteGround for over a year with zero suspensions.

£6–£25/mopaid to provider
DIRECTORY · HIGH-LOAD
Dedicated VPS (OVHcloud / Hetzner / Cloudways)

For directories with 5,000+ listings or 50K+ monthly visits. Resources scaled to listing count and concurrent users. Adult-tolerant providers, EU-compliant where needed, with proper SSH access for our engineers.

£40–£150/mopaid to provider
CUSTOM · REACT/NODE/PYTHON/LARAVEL
Dedicated VPS, architected per stack

For custom escort directories, subscription platforms, fansite engines, adult ecommerce on custom stacks. We architect the deployment (Docker, PM2, Gunicorn, Nginx), set up staging-to-production, configure SSL, schedule backups, hand over the credentials.

£50–£120/mopaid to provider
SQUARESPACE · WIX
Direct platform (no separate hosting layer)

For independent escorts on the ALLURE tier. You pay Squarespace or Wix directly for the platform — there's no separate hosting layer. We manage your domain DNS and provide first-line content support through the maintenance retainer.

03 . How we maintain it

What our maintenance retainer actually covers.

The hosting account is yours. The maintenance is what keeps it running.

24/7 uptime monitoring

Real alerts to a real human, not a dashboard nobody watches. If your site goes down at 3am, we know about it before you do.

Plugin and theme updates

Tested in staging first, applied to production on a schedule. We don't auto-update; that's how sites break unattended.

Security patching

Server-level OS updates, web-server patches, PHP/Node version management, SSL certificate renewals.

Backup verification

Daily backups run automatically — but a backup you haven't tested isn't a backup. We test restores monthly.

Performance + incident response

Core Web Vitals monitoring, quarterly performance review. Site down? DMCA notice? Suspicious traffic? We respond per your tier's SLA.

Content updates & minor edits

Image swaps, copy tweaks, new escort profiles, new location pages. Larger feature work is quoted separately.

04 . Pricing

Three blocks. Transparent. Setup fee + maintenance retainer + indicative passthrough.

Wave69 charges the setup fee and the maintenance retainer. The hosting itself is paid directly to the provider — those are indicative ranges, not Wave69 costs.

SETUP · ONE-TIME

Get your hosting set up properly.

Provider account creation, plan selection, migration if needed, SSL, DNS, backups configured, staging-to-production wiring.

05 . When clients usually move to us

Three patterns we see most often.

"My current host suspended me at peak hours and I can't get my files back."

We treat these as urgent. With legacy backup access (or your previous host eventually responding), we can stand up a replacement environment within 24 hours and get your domain pointed.

"My site is fine but I want the agency that builds and ranks it to also keep it running."

Common — most maintenance clients arrived through a web design or SEO engagement and consolidated everything onto our setup over time.

"I don't even know if my host actually allows adult content."

A lot of operators don't until something goes wrong. We'll review your provider's AUP, tell you the risk, and recommend a migration if it's warranted.

06 . Why we exist

We don't host. We've thought about offering hosting many times — but the right answer is always "use the providers who do this at scale, and have someone who knows the vertical configure and maintain the setup." That's us.

We've been doing this since 2011. We've migrated dozens of sites off mainstream providers that were about to suspend them. We've architected directory deployments that survived a 5x traffic spike. We've maintained agency sites through Google updates, DMCA disputes, and the kind of competitor sabotage that doesn't make the news.

You own the hosting account. You own the domain. You own the data. We make sure all of it is set up properly and stays that way.

07 . Common questions

Before you get in touch.

Why don't you host on your own infrastructure?
We'd rather put you on a real cloud platform with a real ops team than build a hosting product on the side. SiteGround, Cloudways, OVHcloud, Hetzner — these are mature businesses with proper redundancy, scale, and security. Our value is in choosing the right one for you and operating it correctly.
Does SiteGround actually allow adult content?
SiteGround's published TOS doesn't expressly prohibit adult content, and in our experience — over a year of running adult sites on their infrastructure with zero suspensions or AUP issues — they're a solid, predictable fit for the WordPress-and-standard-build clients we work with. We still discuss the AUP framing during setup so you're not surprised, and if you'd prefer a host with an explicitly-permissive adult policy (Cloudways, OVHcloud, or Hetzner) we'll set you up there instead.
Who owns the hosting account?
You do. Always. The account is created in your name, the credit card on file is yours, and the credentials are handed to you at the end of setup. We have access only as long as you keep us on a maintenance retainer; you can revoke access any time.
What if I want to change hosts later?
Easy. We migrate you to the new host and update the maintenance retainer to reflect any new ops work involved. No lock-in.
What's your incident response SLA?
STEADY: next business day. RUNNING: 4 hours during business hours, next morning out of hours. FORTRESS retainers can include 24/7 with 1-hour response — quoted to scope. Site-down outages always get priority.
Can I run my own hosting and just hire you for maintenance?
Yes — assuming the host is competent. We'll review the existing setup, flag anything risky, and take over the maintenance from there.

Right host. Right setup. Right team behind it.

Tell us what you're running and where it sits today. We'll review the host, review the build, and propose a setup migration plus a maintenance tier — or honestly tell you to stay where you are if the current setup is sound.
