A paysite or a pay site is a website that requires a membership fee to be able to use the site or view its contents. Websites like this generally require their members to pay a fixed monthly subscription fee for the continued access and use of their websites.

Some of these websites use a marketing strategy of giving you a free access for a limited time period and then you will have to subscribe to their "Premium" memberships if you want to continue using their services when the free access time period expires.

The word "paysite" or "paysites" is usually associated with adult-content websites and therefore it may connote pornography.

I don't intend to write anything "adult" and therefore, this article is not about the girl next door, asians, latinas, live webcams, anime, reality kings and the likes.

Paysites require their members to pay using their credit cards or through payment processors like PayPal and AlertPay.

Internet payment processors like PayPal and AlertPay are e-commerce businesses that allow you to make payments and money transfers through the Internet, serving as an electronic alternative to traditional paper methods such as checks and money orders.

Accounts from these payment processors can be funded with an electronic debit from a bank acount or by a credit card. 

Adult Websites

The most popular and very lucrative of all paysites are pornographic or adult websites as mentioned from the start of this article. The Internet is saturated to the max, when it comes to these sites. Look at this paysite sample. 

These pay sites are known for spreading all forms of malwares, spywares, trojans, and any other kind of virus you could ever think of. People marketing these sites usually use different spamming techniques to increase their traffic. And of course, they are filled with scammers too.
