My experience: Escort-site.com stole my pics and locked them up for "members only". I tried to delete whole site but no luck! Don't pay for locked pics!
I am seeing more personal web sites that allow viewing of pics only if you are a "member." I'm not talking about the BP credit-card scam sites, I am talking about legit personal sites. Ladies, there are way too many great ones of you out there for me to have to pay to see your pics to decide if I'd be attracted to seeing you. What's with this practice, is this the direction things are headed?
Just going through the recent ads there seem to be a few that are behind a "Pure VIP" paywall. It seems they are all occurring in the same domain so I'm inclined to believe that particular hosting site is running some sort of side game. Whether the ladies' know about this and get a cut of the $ I can only guess but my gut says no.

I was just talking with with a client today who actually tried to pay for it. He is a bit of a newbie and didn't know any better. The poor guy found out the other day, the very next day that someone had changed his credit cards listed address and had taken 4000.00 from his bank. Charged it, taken it the point is someone had stolen. Luckily his bank caught it pretty quickly and the issue has been resolved.
It might be a coincidence it might not or maybe the hosting site has been hacked. Not sure. I personally am in the process of switching websites.
But if you see this on a provoders page , alert her. Someone had told me so my pics were only blocked about a day.
Be careful!!
Email/msg the lady in question to let her know her galleries are locked. Believe me, she is almost certainly not doing it intentionally; the host site has apparently decided to scam our clients by pushing out "privacy upgrades" that locked them and didn't notify most of us. There's apparently also a fun little attempt to get clients to pay $ for "VIP speed verification" or some such if you try to book through our sites; again, that's not us, and I for one am spending part of tomorrow moving my website to someplace that doesn't view me as free advertising!
Before deciding a lady is in on it report the issue and see f it changes. It really does sound like hosting service taking advntage of us----and at their expense.
They're pushing out updates to the basic privacy and security settings, and resetting our individual settings in the first place (server admin privileges, which we don't have, setting global defaults to all websites hosted on those servers.) Any decent admin would be notifying all users, but they are apparently somewhat lax about it. When we find out we are resetting things to visibility, and you may notice that several ladies have new websites now or in the near future. Unfortunately, we don't have any way of finding out sometimes until someone notifies us. There is another apparent issue with attempts to charge clients for "screening" when using the booking forms on our websites, which most of us are unaware of until, again, someone lets us know. How often are we going to try to book ourselves to find that one out?
Accusing us of perpetrating lies and scams does not tell us that there is a problem with anything but the accuser, which is useful to us but not in the sense of being helpful with our site maintenance
The host site pushes out updates and does not always notify us. Are you unfamiliar with the way web hosting works? We do not run our own servers; very few do.
Please educate yourself on basic web hosting and maintenance before making ignorant accusations and getting yourself on multiple DNS lists.
Where we pick the template and that's about it. Like there is an epidemic of random providers , many who have nothing to do with each other and everyone is trying to scam guys out of their money. LOL. I don't know what it is or who it is but it has NOTHING to do with the provider themselves. It's the escort-site.com company.
When this occurred there was even a note on the site when you log in to make changes and they had said they had done it for OUR safety. Even recommending that we keep the gallery page locked. So as I said not really sure what is going on with that. There are plenty of ladies out there who have no clue their galleries aren't showing at the moment. If it's someone you like or know or is reputable let them know. I am always keeping my site updated and even I hadn't of noticed until I was alerted.
And my client who told me he had signed up to it , it was a very well known and respected provider in this area. It had NOTHING to do with her.

this happen to my website... out of nowhere my galleries were locked (the site that host my website did it and did not send me any email or announcement prior doing so). I was unaware of that.
A client email me and inform me about it; I went to the website and change the settings back to how I have them originally and obviously sent a very upset email to the company.
My gallery is open now again but because I change the settings. If you see a website like that.. contact the lady...she probably don't know that this is happening until someone tell her.
Its not like we look our websites / pictures every day. 
Cata,

....you just reach out and ask & I give it to you. (its down right now will be back soon)
I am looking around now for differ met host sites and besides seeing photos on TER, and other sites I ise I am thinking I might do the same for my website.
