DISQUS

Great choice for ftp, a long time favorite of mine. Can't beat the name, too.

Jonathan, I enjoyed this post and also enjoy hearing you on the WordPress Podcast. I have used tools like this before but they don't always seem accurate. I had never heard of this WhoisHostingThis. Seems to work well. Now, off to hunt down some content thieves :)

I just tried this after I saw you mention it and I can't believe how slick this is. I don't think I've gotten a single error yet.

Ah finally... pingofpings worked! Thanks much.

I still like numbered lists. Oh, and one more, don't submit a story about SEO.

clickfire's last blog post..What does SEO Really Mean?

Mitch, Thanks for having me on the show, that was a blast and yeah, best plug known to man :)

I don't know about Earners, but Webmaster-Talk is one of my favorite forums. Tim Shroeder has done a great job building up this community over the years and doing past contests as well.

Now where can I get some of that hostnip? :)

This is a very cool tool. Nice to have the visual aspect.

Happy belated birthday. It's nice to hear some of the history behind how you got started. Looking forward more years of whs episodes.

Interesting post. It would be great to learn more about the modus operandi of terrorst webmasters and figure out how to stop them at the hosting level.

Hmm... I wonder how many customers have left NS because of this.

I love using the word propagation. Not sure why, just sounds cool, heheh.

Wow, I didn't realize that the south was such a bastion for web hosts. Nice to know those facts. We southerners are hospitable and make great hosts :)

Imagine what the notification to the sponsors must have looked like: Dear Sponsor, due to a change in a policy, we will no longer link to your landing page in the manner previously agreed upon, but will now include a special attribute so as to not not give link credit to your site... We look forward to your continued advertising with us.

"algorithms will not provide the answer and human judgment must be involved"

Interesting thought as it would seem that human judgement would be one of the features of the original link based algorithm. I suppose democratic or collective judgement is preferred.

Anyone who does this is putting their brand at risk.

I also think that it is the responsibility of the spamee blogger to exercise editorial control by disapproving or nofollowing such comments. But what if the comment actually makes a good previously unmade point and contributes to the value of the blog? It will probably remain.

I just tested and reviewed Lunarpages' basic hosting plan. Didn't experience anything like this. My only real complaint was that many of the Fantastico scripts common with other hosts were not available in cPanel.

I have had scripts cause server resource issues, but never a WordPress plugin. Perhaps it would be more difficult to isolate a plugin than a script? At any rate, I can't imagine a host, especially a reputable outfit like Lunarpages not wanting to help identify the problem.

One thing I've learned from reviewing hosts is that there is always one customer who has had a bad experience and feels the need to vent. Looking at a variety of sources is better. It seems that hosts will forever be fighting the virally spread negative anecdote.

Andy, I have been looking for a just such a dedicated cPanel host as well, so please post if you find a good one.

I like that CMS Matrix site for comparing CMS scripts. I just compared Mambo, Joomla and Drupal. Sweet.

Anyone else getting a blank page when trying to import?

Great show. Nice to hear Amy's perspective.
