History

The domain pornopedia.com can be traced back to January 22, 2002. Under the domain pornopedia.de was a German-language Wiki installed already on August 24 2004.

Pornopedia in its present form was founded on June 26, 2008 by Till Kraemer. The main domain was initially pornopedia.eu, but has been changed on Monday, February 14, 2011, to pornopedia.net and on Tuesday, February 7, 2012 to pornopedia.com. Under the domain pornopedia.de now is a German-language overview of all Pornopedia language versions.

In the period of November 1, until November 30, 2011 (UTC) the article about Pornopedia in the English Wikipedia was on position 366 of the most viewed articles in the scope of websites. On Sunday, December 4, 2011, the Schwedish Pornopedia has been installed.

Pornopedia is run by Till Kraemer, a porn actor.

Goals

The priority is to include as many actors and movies as possible, even if the articles are only stubs at first. The philosophy is: It's better to find little information about a topic than finding nothing. Afterward, and partly already along the way, the existing articles will be expanded, ideally with complete filmographies. Many things can be included in Pornopedia: There can be articles about kitchens, stairs and cars. Everything from a sexual point of view and porn movies related to this can be mentioned in those articles.

Technology

Until August 2011, Pornopedia ran on two OpenBSD servers, which were located in San Diego, California, USA. On one server (OS: OpenBSD 4.6, 32 Bit; CPU: Intel Atom 330, 667MHz; RAM: 2GB; HD: 250GB SATA; IP: 64.156.192.213), were the MySQL databases, on the other server (OS: OpenBSD 4.5, 32 Bit; CPU: Intel Atom 330, 667MHz; RAM: 2GB; HD: 250GB SATA; IP: 64.156.192.209) services like Apache, PHP, FTP and E-Mail.

The two Atoms then were replaced by another server (OS: OpenBSD 4.9, 64 Bit, CPU: Xeon X3370, RAM: 8GB 667MHz, HD: 150GB VelociRaptor 10k, IP: 64.156.192.234), which was also located in San Diego and took care of all services.

On June 2, 2015, Pornopedia moved to another server (OS: OpenBSD 5.7, 64 Bit, CPU: Xeon E3-1230, SSD: 512GB Samsung 840 PRO, RAM: 16GB DDR3 1333MHz ECC, IP: 64.156.192.244).

On March 8, 2024, and Saturday, March 9, 2024, Pornopedia moved to a more powerful OpenBSD server.
