The website problem nobody talks about
Every escort eventually reaches the same crossroads. You've outgrown your ad profile on whatever listing site you use. You want something that's yours — a website where you control the branding, the photos, the vibe. Something that looks like you spent money on it, even if you didn't.
So you Google "how to make a website" and find Wix, Squarespace, or WordPress.com. You pick a pretty template, spend a weekend getting it just right, maybe even pay for the premium plan. Two weeks later: account terminated, content removed, no explanation.
Sound familiar? Yeah. Welcome to the club.
Why mainstream website builders keep banning escorts
I've said it before and I'll say it till I'm blue in the face: FOSTA-SESTA. The US law that made platforms liable for "facilitating" sex work turned every American tech company into a content police force. Wix, Squarespace, Weebly, GoDaddy's website builder — they all have clauses banning adult content and services.
And it's not just explicitly sexual content. I know a girl who got banned from Squarespace for having a "rates" page. Not nude photos. Not explicit language. A rates page. Because apparently listing prices for your time is enough to trigger their moderation.
If you want to check whether a specific platform bans you, our TOS Risk Checker breaks it down platform by platform.
Your actual options
Let me walk through what actually works, from simplest to most flexible.
Option 1: Self-hosted WordPress (the sweet spot)
WordPress.org (not WordPress.com — big difference) is open-source software you install on your own hosting. Nobody can ban you because nobody controls it except you.
The catch has always been that WordPress requires technical setup and most themes look generic. You either hire a developer ($1,500–$5,000 for a custom escort site) or you cobble something together with a free theme and it looks... fine. Not great. Just fine.
This is actually why we built BlushTheme — it's a free WordPress theme designed specifically for escorts. Five curated sub-themes (from dark luxury to soft feminine), 10 purpose-built pages (including rates, gallery, etiquette, booking), and a setup wizard that walks you through everything. No code needed.
But even if you don't use BlushTheme, WordPress.org with good hosting is still the best foundation.
Option 2: Static site / link-in-bio
If all you need is a clean landing page with your photos, contact info, and rates, you can get away with a single-page static site. Tools like Carrd ($19/year) are simple and relatively permissive — though they're still US-based, so you're never fully safe.
The better version: buy a domain, put up a single HTML page on a privacy-friendly host. It's more work upfront but nobody can take it down.
Option 3: Custom build
If you've got budget ($3K+), a good developer can build you something completely custom. The advantage is total control — it'll look exactly how you want and nobody else will have the same site. The downside is maintenance: every update, every change, every fix requires going back to the developer.
For most girls, this is overkill. WordPress + a good theme gets you 90% of the way there.
Hosting: where your website actually lives
Your website needs a home, and where you host it matters almost as much as how you build it. Here's what to look for:
What to avoid:
- US-based hosting that explicitly bans adult content (GoDaddy, Bluehost, HostGator)
- Any host that requires you to declare your site's content category during signup
What works:
- European hosting — Switzerland, Netherlands, Iceland all have strong free speech protections. Infomaniak (Swiss), Greenhost (Dutch), and OrangeWebsite (Icelandic) are all solid
- Njalla — privacy-focused domain registration + hosting from the people behind The Pirate Bay. No ID required
- VPS providers — DigitalOcean, Hetzner, and Linode are generally fine. They care about server abuse (spam, DDoS), not what content you host
The key insight: you want hosting where the provider can't easily see or care about your site content. A VPS where you install WordPress yourself is much safer than a managed WordPress host that scans your content.
The non-negotiable checklist
Whatever you choose, make sure you have:
- Your own domain name — yourname.com or whatever you like. Don't build on someone else's subdomain
- SSL certificate — the padlock in the browser. Let's Encrypt is free
- Regular backups — automated, stored somewhere separate from your host. If your site goes down, you can rebuild in hours, not weeks
- No US-based dependencies — check your hosting, your CDN, your email provider, your analytics. Any one of them could be the weak link
- Age verification — depending on your jurisdiction, you may need this. BlushTheme includes one built in
My setup
Since people always ask: my personal site runs on WordPress with BlushTheme (yes, I'm biased, I helped build it), hosted on a Swiss VPS. Domain registered through Njalla. Backups go to an encrypted ProtonDrive folder every night. Total cost: about $15/month.
It's not the fanciest setup in the world. But it's mine, it looks professional, and absolutely nobody can take it down.
Don't overthink it
The biggest mistake I see is escorts spending months agonising over their website and never launching. A simple, clean WordPress site with good photos beats a perfectionist's unfinished masterpiece every single time.
Get something up. Make it look good. Make sure it won't get banned. Iterate from there.
