Topic: Setup up a website to sell digital download locally. (Read 134 times)

So you are basically suggesting a dropshipping bussines model but with porn videos? I'd never thought of something like that, since free porn is already a thing....

Apart from that, reading your post, I'm not really sure about your intentions here. At first, you look like you are giving people the idea and a list of steps on how to create such a service; but then we get this...


And that makes me think that you are rather looking for someone to help/guide you on how to create such a site

Can you name a few?
^{- AFAIK, that's not the case nowadays...}

Instead of hosting everything by yourself, you can just go with hosting providers that allow such websites to be hosted with them ^{[you'll save yourself a lot of time]}.
^{- Simply do some "whois lookup" searches of reputable websites on this (porn) industry, then go with their registrar.}

Although you have a point, not all of them turn out to be useless after some time ^{[that purely depends on the owner]}.

If you aren't looking to have a significant amount of sales through this way, then you can simply go with the torrent route...
<sup>- Allow users to download each file while having them password protected with WinRAR + include a note with your contact info for getting the password and that's where you provide them with the BTC address (it's manual but perhaps better for small sales). After that, send them the password.
- Having said that, choosing this way will surely rise an issue of trusting you over the net.</sup>

Let say you want to setup a porn website and to sell your porn digital download for crypto currency,

1. You don’t want it to host on 3rd party web hosting, you don’t trust your data on the 3rd party, who may steal your data, delete it, dmca, ban for illegal contents.
2. You want store your data on your own PC locally, and you setup you PC so that other people can access your porn on your own PC locally no through 3rd party hosting.
3. Setup up a payment gateway that automatically generate download link to the user to make payment with crypto, locally too, without trusting 3rd party web hosting,
4. Only accept crypto because USD suck ball. Use crypto to bypass USD trying to clamp down porn.
5. Saw plenty of porn sites backdated to 2008-2016, you go to their website, you make payment and you can download the video immediately, seamless procedures
6. I think many porn sites dying today because they’re trusting too much on 3rd party web hosting, which has poor security, data breaches, server downtime, getting hacked, seized by FBI, getting blacklist from banking for selling illegal products.
7. Now you don’t want to trust them anymore, you decide to build everything from scratch on your own, but how do you get start?
8. You don’t know coding, you only have basic skills of drag and drop software building skill, absolutely zero coding skills, not even the basic of java, c or cpp, what you need is some open source web hosting software and open source payment gateway plugin/software, a crypto wallet address.
9. See plenty of websites build with open source forum software, I think plenty of them are dead, we got many defunct websites during 1990-2020.
Any suggestion are welcome, it seem to be a question that would never gonna to have a solid answer no matter what era you’re living on.
