It's astonishing how often people researching a shared hosting service do so without due diligence.

Shared hosting by its nature is similar to condominium living (might be better described as tenement buildings). You have your space to use as you like within the boundaries of the TOS. But you also have the common areas, used and shared by all the other residents of your complex.

Hostjury has a brand new look with all the same old attitudes. This attitude is the reason people have come to trust HostJury as a honest hosting review site.

I think that my Wordpress has been hacked. I'm not a technical guy so looking at the PHP etc is not an option.In my dashboard the second box down on the left - the one that tell me all the recent news changed it tells me to Update WordPress 2.6.4 immediately! Then points me to a site called wordpresz dot org where a suspicious download of Wordpress 2.6.4 is waiting for me. Is my site compromised? What can I do? What other damage should I expect?

This post is not about the hoster... rather the hosted.

Clients of WebServe, a shared hosting service from Canada are reporting downtime reaching up to six days. They have stated that the Webserve servers are unreachable. Webserve's main site seems to be functioning, so Hostjury contacted their live chat to ask for clarification on whether the reports of downtime at Webserve were correct. It was a short conversation.

Everyone seeks peace and harmony, because these are what we lack in our lives. From time to time we all experience agitation; and when we suffer from agitation, we do not keep this misery limited to ourselves. How does one start generating negativity? By becoming very unhappy when one finds someone behaving in a way which we don't like. Unwanted things happen, and it create tension within myself. Me just a moment ago, 2008

Hence the story of dedicated server provider Vectoral Servers, who when they found something they didn't like, became agitated, and start generating negativity !

Hostjury has been trying to keep you informed about the ever changing landscape of the web hosting industry.

Site5 has just recently announced on their company blog that they're shaking up their upper management. The head honchos, Matt Lightner and Rod Armstrong have announced that they are giving up the keys to the castle. Quoting, "While this may come as a bit of a surprise, we can assure you that it only means bigger and better things for Site5." They continued, "Matt and I have absolute confidence that they will be able to keep Site5’s original spirit alive while also taking you all to greater heights in terms of service and the web hosting experience.

Landis Holdings Inc., better known as JaguarPC, a leading provider of end-to-end web hosting solutions for over a decade has announced the acquisition of Hosting Zoom, Inc. The deal also includes Reseller Zoom and modVPS, divisions of Hosting Zoom. Customers of Hosting Zoom will see immediate benefits with no impact on their hosting plans.

We have all heard the doom and gloom naysayer whining about the internet running out of web addresses. And you probably never gave it  a second thought until now. With jobs evaporating thanks to globalism and inept handling of the financial markets, many people are turning to the internet as a new source of income or as a cost cutting while increasing business productivity.

It seems that the AlphaRed saga of issues continues.

Earlier this week, CWIE Holdings Company Inc., the parent company of CCBill and CaveCreek Web Hosting confirmed in a Monday press release that it had agreed to acquire hosting company AlphaRed, a deal that has reportedly been in discussion since the previous Friday. However, recent updates note that the deal fell through on Thursday.

EasyDNS is  reporting that lawyers are sending a takedown request regarding a torrent of the film. As they doesn't host the site, its a moot point, but then lawyers are not know for their tech swavy!  "What's a host! "  I've watched the movie and I'm with the critics. Anyway enjoy the read:

GoDaddy's investigation into my inferno of a situation turned out to be a telling investigation into GoDaddy itself.

This follow-up story isn't just appearing in cyberspace because a call from GoDaddy's office of the president came during my dinner a few hours after "Why I Don't Owe GoDaddy $6,579.51 (or $969)" published. Rather, "Why GoDaddy Refunded My $969 (and Will Be Making 'Significant Changes')" is a just resolution to an initially unjust resolution.
