BlueHost Takes a Stand on Ethics

Last night I was bashing BlueHost for suspending Zazz’s site, but there’s something that I need to applause BlueHost for — Matt Heaton is standing firm on not hosting adult sites. Not because they chew through bandwidth, but it is simply not ethical.

Bluehost does not and will not tolerate adult material of any kind on our servers. Sometimes profit comes second and personal responsibility and ethics come first. I am not telling other hosts to not provide adult hosting services, but I wish that they would come to that conclusion on their own.

Adult material hurts people in so many ways that I won’t even argue the point here. Aside from my own beliefs about why it is wrong, I don’t think that any clear thinking individual would argue for the merits of porn. It is a business that I will never practice or enable through our network.
