What's a paysite exactly ?
A paysite, in pornography slang, is a pornographic website that charges money for admission, unlike free sites such as blogs or TGPs (Thumbnail Gallery Posts).

Many people detest paysites, but this is one way an administrator pays for the bandwidth- and hosting costs as well as the costs paying the models and photgrapher. Theoretically, paying for content results in higher content quality. There is no fixes membership rate, which means that every owner can set his own price. Payment methods include credit card and/or checking account billing. One of the leading companies to supply these services as a third-party provider is ccbill.com.

Most paysites shield their member's areas from unsolicited access by means of a username and password which have to be typed in at the beginning of every user session. While some sites have self-developed login scripts, others employ third-party services.

Exclusivity of the content is very important for a paysite and a paysite owner will try his very best to protect his content to keep it exclusive to members. That is why a paysite won't allow you to post any content at public forums or your own websites/blogs. Although most paysites give you the ability to download movies and picture-sets, the content is protected by DRM technologies in most cases.

A great advantage of paysites is the possibility to keep children and other minors from unwanted and/or illegal access.
