Since announcing new rating system following web hosting providers where reviewed by the visitors to this blog: Lunarpages, Omins and Aplollo Web Hosting. The total of six visitors have reviewed these web hosting providers, so I would like say thank you to every one of them:
Your feedback is what makes this website of mine great. There is very little value in what I provide on this website, which just basic information about web hosting providers. Your reviews and feedback is far more valuable. So I thank you for taking time and reviewing your web hosts and wish you much success in your respective businesses.
If you would like to to be thanked in the similar way all you need to do is to review your web hosting provider, if of course it is featured on this website. If your web host is not on your list, I will be happy to add it to the list. If you have previously reviewed your web hosting provider on this website, feel free to review it again as things may have changed. It may be that your had a poor impression of your web host initially, yet over the time they have improved their services. Or it may be all around.
To be featured in one of “thank you” posts, your review should contain more than just “I love this provider” or “This provider sucks”. While both positive and negative reviews are welcomed here, I will look suspiciously at shallow comments made just in attempt to gain a link to your website.

In order to serve the visitors better by providing more value several changes were implemented to this website. But before I begin to write about these changes, I would like to take this opportunity to thank every one without whom this website couldn’t exist. Who are they? Every one whose curiosity ever lead to this website. Subscribers. And most importantly those who have commented on this website, leaving invaluable feedback about web hosting providers.
New Rating System
In order to provide visitors to this blog with a more effective way to leave their feedback about web hosting providers, Review Plugin was installed and hacked in such a way that it will allow to rate any of the web hosting providers listed in the side bar. This rating will be collected on 1 through 10 scale. If you decide to give a particular web hosting provider it would mean that you had received absolutely best service. The rating widgets are just about the comment text box.
The votes will be displayed in the post next to the thumbnail of the web hosting provider’s website:
Rate Your Web Host And Receive A Link To Your Website Or Blog
I always have been always strong proponent of No-Nofollow movement among bloggers. For a long time I had a plugin on my blog that removed “nofollow” attributes from links in the comments but lately I became some what antisocial, as far as this blog is concerned. The amount of spam this blog is receiving lately is mind boggling. I felt that I had no choice but to re-introduce “nofollow” to my blog.
I will however continue to reward readers of this blog, in particular those who leave feedback about their web hosting provider. I will link back to their blogs or websites once a week on my “end of the week thank you posts”. I reserve the freedom to choose the anchor text and the page on your website should I decide to reward you with a deep link. I do however have only one request- please use your first name.
Trying to game this blog with rich anchor text will only hurt your chances, from now on I will mar such comments as spam.
Spread The Word About This Post- Receive A Site Wide Link
It is my attempt to revive the community spirit around this blog and without you I can’t do it. Every one who links to this post will receive a site wide link from the sidebar of this blog. This offer is not valid for “splogs”, websites that promote pornography or anything illegal.
Feel free to use the comments to tell me about your link.
If you are BlueHost’s customer, by now you may have received an email informing you that a new way of installing variety of web applications is now available for you- Simple Scripts:
What is Simple Scripts? Think of Fantastico Installer, which allowed you to install scripts that ended up powering your websites in just few clicks and under five minutes. Simple Scripts, a brain child of BlueHost, allows you to do the same. The difference is that Simple Scripts has the most up to date installations for WordPress, Joomla and many other similar applications. Keeping up to date some of these scripts on your website is crucial. Take for example Technorati’s recent raid against spam. For users who are not accustomed to upload the updates via FTP, generally meant waiting several weeks for the new version to be reflected in Fantastico. By that time a newer version of the script was already released. Now clients of BlueHost, Hostmonster and FastDomain web hosting providers can have the latest updates within hours instead of weeks.
Matt Heaton announcing the Simple Scripts several days ago, had mentioned that although application is originally launched on Blulehost it is a self hosted application and that any web hosting provider can license it and use it for the benefits of their users.
I have tried to install WordPres using Simple Scripts, and it worked faster and more efficient than Fantastico scripts. However, Simple Scripts doesn’t seem to recognize the (previous) installations made with Fantastico. I did not attempt any upgrades of such installation for the fear of deleted or damaging existing databases. It would be wise if creators of Simple Scripts would write a guide of how to make this transition for Fantastico to Simple Scripts.
The new solution looks very attractive and it will not be a big surprise if other web hosting providers do not jump at opportunity to provide their clients with the latest possible applications and scripts.
For quiet some time I have promoted on this two online communities BumpZee and BlogCatalog. Today the widget showing the latest visitors were removed. This was done simply because I am not active on this blog and write here very sporadically. It is very unlikely that I will ever build a substantial community around this blog. I do think that many of the information found here is useful and therefore this blogs will continue it life for another year.
In the past to encourage commenting on this blog, a dofollow plugin was installed. The drawback of it was that this blog ended on every possible spam list imaginable. The “comment monkeys” (aka spammers) had really taken advantage of clean SEO friendly links from this blog when leaving comments, while some who truly contributed to this blog with their well thought reviews did not even bother to leave a link to their website. While I always been strong supporter in favor of removing “nofollow” from the comments on blogs, it should only be done on blogs diligently monitored. Otherwise a blog may become spammers paradise. To prevent that, the “nofollow” attributes yet again are implemented on this blog.
