PIPA/SOPA – Justice or Tyranny?

Until this weekend I did not have a lot of knowledge of what PIPA/SOPA was. But I had friends sending me links to sign to support stopping it. Then there is this World of Warcraft related comic that I look forward to reading every Sunday: http://www.darklegacycomics.com/322.html This is the point where I realize that I really have not been paying attention, and leave...

Manashosting.com – Fun and Games by Email

Manashosting.com found its way to my blog because they choose to spam my personal email account back in November 2010. Not because manashosting.com spammed once, but several times through 2010. I was in the middle of writers block when another email came in from manshosting.com. Manashosting.com was the encouragement for starting posts on companies that...

Zyma.com – A year later

I think it is safe to say that Zyma.com is proof that review sites like hostingsthatsuck.com are not to be trusted. A year has gone by allowing for real feedback to come in. Not like the arranged positive feedback that was given out in exchange for free hosting.  Not to mention nothing to stop these sites form signing up for “our affiliate program is one of the...

thebest10webhosting.com your lesson begins here

Going through my pending and spam comments I found thebest10webhosting.com. I was in the middle of doing some long overdue maintenance. So I figured I would try and check and make sure there was nothing valid in the spam folder.  When a comment came in from this so called review site. At the same time I am trying to answer everyone’s email/comments. Some of...

Webhostinghub.com – Seeks FTC Compliance

This is the first time you will find Webhostinghub.com on Hosting Reviews Exposed. I was reviewing their new affiliate agreement because a so-called “top 10″ hosting review site decided to spam comment on this site.  Like the first hosting company, they appear to be following along the same lines as Hostgator.com and Endurance International Group. Why...

Inmotion – Seeks FTC Compliance

While doing a review on a review site that choose to spam my blog, I decided to review inmotion and other sites that appeared on it to see if they too had a FTC compliance in their Affiliate Terms. Turns out Inmotion does . This is not the first time I have done a review on Inmotion: Inmotion was the 6th host that reviewed to appear on webhostingstuff.com’s so...

Goodbye MediaTemple.net – Perhaps we will meet again!

First off let me be clear, Mediatemple.net was not directly responsible for the downtime on hosting-reviews-exposed.com. Before this all began I had already entertained in October 2011 the idea of migrating, after all traffic was up and the site was performing slower.  Not to mention a month earlier another site that shares this account had its database moved by...

Hosting-Reviews-Exposed.com is now Up at Rackspace.com

Rackspace is now the home of Hosting-reviews-exposed.com. Last month I did not get out as many posts as I had wanted.  In part I had more work to do than expected, and I lost a member of my family. On the bright side the work came from someone that was not looking for the cheapest possible solutions. The extra work helped to go through the morning period, and I plan...

Hostgator.com and FTC Compliance

A few months ago Endurance International Group announced FTC compliance; it appears that Hostgator.com has also done the same. In the middle of last month I had wrote a post and emailed Hostgator.com in regards to their upcoming black Friday promotion. I challenged them to take on the spam which had gotten pretty bad as I was getting it in emails, YouTube comments,...
