Red Umbrella Hosting
Created the day FOSTA passed, Red Umbrella Hosting is what started it all. I knew that some web hosts were going to run scared and leave us high and dry. Those who didn’t would likely cooperate with anyone who asked them to turn over data, and they likely had plenty of data to turn over. I thought all of that should change.
Anonymous
By requiring no personal information to get started and providing anonymous payment options, there is no tie to your real life that you do not create yourself.
Offshore
Neither the main server, nor the backup server are located inside of the US. This provides you with the peace of mind knowing that your data isn’t just a click away for anyone who wants it.
Affordable
With individual plans under $17/month, it is my goal to provide a superior level of service at a fair cost. Migration assistance as well as generous amounts of bandwidth, disk space, and regular backups are just a few of the features my plans offer.
Support
Always available to help with any issue that may arise with your site – from migration, to optimisation, to design assistance I am always here to help with your site. I offer a ticketing system, email support, and IM chat support anytime I am personally available.
Personal
As a sex worker in various parts of the industry over the past ten years, I understand the need for your website to be appealing, attractive, functioning, and fast. Each response is from me, to you and I will work with you to solve any and all issues you may have as quickly as possible.
Design
Understanding what makes a website successful in this industry is key to that. I will give you an elegant, optimised site that will hold your clients attention until they’re in the door. Complete with tour calendar, booking form, and any other features you desire.
SWAN
FOSTA has left few options for advertising at all, let alone affordable. I had two goal when I set out to build SWAN. First, to put cost effective advertising in the hands of providers. Second, to give you a place where you could manage all of your ads right from your phone with no frustration or having to request “desktop mode”. With a try before you buy option and base ads for $1, there is little financial risk to trying it out.
Free
You can’t get anything good for free anymore. Except advertising. Base ads in every city worldwide are $0 for 7 days. No catch, no hidden fees, no joke. There are bumps, 14 day highlights, and 30 days of premium placement —and none of them cost over $10.
Try Before You Buy
I would never want you to invest money without sampling the site. All users get $10 free credit to test out the site, and customers of Red Umbrella get an additional $40. This enables you to test out any premium feature of your choosing.
Discounts Available
With credit discounts for verified advertisers and bulk credit discounts I strive to keep bumps, upgrades, and premium ads affordable for everyone.
Anonymous
No ties to your real life is required to advertise. No driving license, no face selfies, no credit card. As with all Trystworthy projects, both the main and backup servers are located securely offshore.
Mobile Friendly
Many of the old ad sites worked poorly on mobile devices. That made no sense to me, as most users are access our sites with a phone or tablet and the smartphone is turning 12 soon. I did my best to make sure the site looks and feels great, no matter what you use to access it.
Open Access
By creating a low cost, familiar feeling “classified ad” style site that is mobile friendly, it is my hope that this platform can reach a wider range of workers and is not just limited to those with access to a computer. The open minded ToS gives you the freedom to advertise in a way you feel best showcases your brand without needless restriction.
Have We Met?
Review sites include graphic and often false details that have been used against providers in many ways. Through a series of simple questions, Have We Met enables two people to verify they met without divulging any personal details of the meeting. Have We Met is completely free to use.
Verification
Born from a blog entry Have We Met set out to provide what no other site has – verification without incrimination. Focused around the legal exchange of time and money, the questions on Have We Met focus on aspects such as being on time, having good professional hygiene, and being friendly.
Free
It was very important to me that the site be completely usable at the free level. Each free account comes with two free ads in any city worldwide along with the ability to give, collect, and showcase verifications to potential clients.
Simplicity
I wanted to provide a minimalist, modern, professional profile that providers would feel proud about putting their content on and linking to clients. It was our goal to build profiles that would not just showcase the beauty of the provider, but would function well across all platforms.
Clients
Have We Met allows clients to give and receive verification at no cost. If the client wishes to display their verification to providers, there is a paid upgrade option that allows them to do so. This should not be considered a way to evade screening, but rather one tool you can use to introduce and potentially use to help verify yourself with a provider you are interested in seeing.
Upgrades
Upgrades should be luxuries, not necessities. You should not NEED to upgrade your ad or else face no visibility or business. That defeats the purpose of a free site. Upgrades on Have We Met include additional banner advertisements, a short url, and other such luxuries that are nice to have, but not needed to function.
Anonymous
No ties to your real life is required to advertise. No driving license, no face selfies, no credit card. As with all Trystworthy projects, both the main and backup servers are located securely offshore.
OurList
A provider run, provider only list for bad dates. Several venues started purging or “softening” their databases after FOSTA. It became clear to me that an unadulterated database was needed as soon as possible. That’s when OurList was born.
Members Only
OurList is a members only site where each user is hand verified to be a legitimate provider before gaining access.
Easy to use
The site is very simple and straight forward so you never have to “fish” for the information you need.
Mobile Friendly
Works well on your phone or tablet so you can check on a potential suitor from anywhere.
Media
I have had the privilege of being mentioned and/or interviewed by several media outlets since the founding Red Umbrella (and later Trystworthy). Here is a sampling of that media coverage. I truly believe journalists are our greatest allies. Please direct any media inquiries to missy@treatyoself.ch
WHY I DO IT
Sex workers deserve equal access to services.
Sex workers are already extremely marginalised by society. I think it is ridiculous that because of our career choice we are cut off from some of the greatest hosting, design, and advertising options available for visibility in today’s digital world. I am but one person, and cannot hang the moon…but I can still do my part.
