The hard parts of running your own site
Mainstream payment companies usually refuse adult content, so a personal site needs a processor that accepts it, along with its application, reserves and chargeback rules.
You also become the record keeper under 18 U.S.C. 2257 for everyone in your content, and you need a way to screen uploads and handle complaints and DMCA notices.
When a platform makes more sense
If you would rather spend your time filming and promoting, a platform takes over hosting, payments, verification and screening for a share of sales. On FansUncensored that share is 20 percent.
Platforms differ in fee, payout methods and how they verify people, so compare a few before you commit. HerFans for adult creators is one more to look at: creators keep 80 percent, every creator passes an ID check before her profile is shown, and payouts go out by bank transfer or in crypto.
What does it take to start your own porn site?
Hosting that allows adult content, an adult payment processor, age and consent records for every performer, upload screening, legal pages and a way to bring visitors.
