I want to learn if possible.

webhostingtalk.com use which company to setup their websites?

I think its Rackspace :)

I saw a block on the right said sponsored by liquidweb.

Are you sure?

URL at the bottom: http://www.rackspace.com/index.php?CMP=WebHostingTalk_PoweredBy

So I suppose it is hosted by rackspace:-)

I think instead of asking in forum. it is the best practise to rely on webhostingtalk's company for dedicated hosting that time

WHT is hosted by Rack Space and I do Belive there email hosting is from LiquidWeb. Seen it in an email.

a little confusing

Look I recive emails from wht when someone replys to a thread im watching and heres whats in the email, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This email is sponsored by Liquid Web:
Fully Managed Hosting with Heroic Support.
http://www.LiquidWeb.com

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Now in the footer it says sponsord by rackspace.. see what i mean?

ohh I see. it is interesting for only e-mail to choose another company. Also when I click rackspace their website is too slow. While their website is too slow, how they can supply me good server? i think htere is a problem there

Don't need to be nasty to curious people PerfectedHosting

This is incoprrect. Webhostingtalk.com uses Rackspace.com for web and email hosting. You can check the DNS records.

"This email", means the newsletter is sponsored by LiquidWeb. Meaning Liquidweb sponsored/help pay to send that newsletter.

Im not being mean, Sorry if I sound like it, I never really get mad or be mean. Just the way I type.

I have just checked the IP from this web server, and the whois says it is hosted by rackspace. I have also checked the IP of the e-mail server and the whois also says it is hosted by rackspace.

He wasn't being at all "nasty". Don't overreact. It looks to me to be a very easy misconception to make.

There is nothing unusual about this. It's a common practice though as others have suggested that's not the case with WHT:

webhostingtalk.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = mail.inetinteractive.com
mail.inetinteractive.com internet address = 69.20.37.64

That IP address belongs to Rackspace.

Who said I was overreacting. From the first sentence

Look I recive emails from wht when someone replys to a thread im watching and heres whats in the emailCan be interpreted as a bit nasty or harsh.

To my knowledge, all of WebHostingTalk is currently hosted at Rackspace (see this thread (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=897459)). Sponsorship in this case refers to paid advertising, rather than hosting services.
