Porn/Video membership site, looking for some input/help.

[67731]

I have a client that wants to build a porn/video site. People should only be able access the videos when logged in and a paying member. I know this will make it harder to make money, and they will have a very hard time. I mean with all the free porn sites out there, why would anyone want to spend money for it. I have let them know they would be better off building a free site, and use ads to make money. however, this is not what they want and end the end I don't care as they are paying clients and I have warned them.

To show just what I am looking for, I have a site that is about what they want as far as how it works.
barebackthathole.com

So I have been searching and have a few questions I could use some help with.

1: Looking for a membership Wordpress theme , that will take payments. Something about like http://www.adultscriptpro.com/ but just the basics.
1.1: I would like to use Wordpress, and this client knows wordpress and will make it easy for them to manage.
1.2: Willing to pay for it, as this will save me time from coding a theme from the ground up, and will take care of the payments. . . its worth buying it.

2: Hosting? I tend to get a lot of my clients to signup with 1and1 as I get a kick back and love them or hate them, it works for smaller sites. But I need something that can manage the traffic and allows adult media. (if so how they manage to make it big, I want them to be covered)

Any help on this would be great.

Thanks

1) If its your client, you should be able to design a template. What are they paying for? If not grab a vanilla bootstrap theme and jazz it up. The payment/membership system has nothing to do with the template.

2) Wordpress is great, might not be the best platform for an adult site, but you can make it work. I would grab a gallery plugin from TF/Envato.

How about QUALITY content? have you ever seen good stuff on free sites?

True. Find the right niche. Have content in 4k. Build a story around your site! There are a million tube sites, but the specialty sites are still making a tidy profit.
