As an individual there are lot of limitations you will face with regard to hosting adult content from your own server.  Many of the data centers will not accept such server with Adult content to operate from their Data Centers.  The space and bandwidth required to upload Adult contents are tremendous and even a normal text page will take a lot of time to load a page in normal internet connection.   You may need to procure a Server with tons of space to meet the file upload and traffic.

If you are in the United States of America, you have to make sure that the contents are legal and must be as per the internet laws.  There are different law requirements to buy, sell and possess the adult web contents.   You will have legal right to sell them, but the buyer might not be able to buy and keep in his possession.  There are some mandatory filtration requirements of internet for the Adult contents in such countries where there are strict laws against it.  Another factor is the age.  If you above the legal age of 18, then only you are a legal user to access them even if those contents are available in limited rate.  Also, child pornography is termed as illegal in most of the countries and if you host them, you will be facing punishments, but some countries allow contents featuring violence and bestiality.  

It is advisable to approach a competent Adult hosting company specialized in this area because they know better than anybody what is needed for a Adult website for its maximum performance.
