    Yep those bots are lots of fun. I go through our member signups each day and end up banning the majority of signups once I check their signature and what not.

    We're using IPB so it's not as bad as I'm sure it would be with phpbb.

    IPB is really nice when it comes to bots as far as their anti-spam service. vBulletin and phpBB were a nightmare. I actually have a vBulletin license I'm not even using.

    @DjProg

    Ahh, I see now. I really didn't understand what you meant by SEO Hosting at first but I get the drift of it now. You need all of your sites to have seperate IP's that way when you link them it looks better for Google! and other search engines, correct? I think it might be in your best interest to find a different host. The traditional web hosts usually don't offer the service unless you are willing to pay for each additional IP's.

    I agree with TheHostHouse, mind boggling. My suggestion to every host starting out, make sure your web presence is strong. No broken links. Make sure consumers can navigate your site, and before you do all of this; make sure your hardware and software is 100% functional.

    It shouldn't take unhappy clients to get a company motivated. Yes, I understand you want to be paying less out of pocket asap but the reputation you earn launching your brand before it's ready will hurt you in the long run.

    Search Engines don't care about IP address beyond potential geo-ip location for localising results.

    Advertising agencies like google have understood shared hosting, load balancing, anycast and other ip manipulating technlogies for 5+ years, and only complete muppets still think spreading things around makes any difference.

    The quote you had taken from my snippet was more meant to be a question from me! I have a few sites spread around myself, but the two sites I work most on are on the same IP and are the only one's linked to eachother.

    I basically was trying to define what SEO hosting was from the information provided from this thread. I get it now. But, and I have no idea; it seems that if you have 100 blogs on 1 IP and the roll links to all 100 different sites that there may be a penalization as far as your pagerank. I am probably wrong and it's just another way of me getting some more information from someone like yourself!

    Here's a post from matt cutts of gogle from 2006 confirming that IP address has had nothing to do with search engine rankings since 2003 ...

    Actually, that doesn't quite address the same IP interlinking issue that SEO hosting is supposed to take care of.

    Having 100 sites on the same IP indeed does not in and of itself translate into a ranking penalty, it would be illogical to. However, Google noticing 1000 sites all hosted on the same IP linking to each other and thus trying to improve their search engine rankings, could lead to a penalty.

    For Google it is often a numbers/thresholds game. It must be, they're essentially using statistics to judge websites.

    Now, if we analyse what Matt Cutts says in that last video, we could actually infer that going for SEO hosting may eventually come with higher risks than other approaches, because lots of spammy sites from an SEO POV will be hosted on such a service. That will make it more likely that Google will heavily scrutinize those IPs/IP ranges.

    In any case, it is quite clear that Google does look at IPs beyond the geo-location thingy.

    And having spoken to google technical people many times over they years and asked these questions of the people who actually write the code IP *IS* irrelevant, has been since 2004, isnt ever going to be relevant again - 1 site on an ip or 100,000,000 sites on an ip - all get treated exactly the same

    Spammy-linky-junk which some people will "boost" their spammy-useles-cr@p a whole 0.0000000000001% up the rankings gets detected *without using ip address*.

    I wanted to leave too but in my case things can't get any worse. But from the reply from Chilledhost (the middle man) is working with the DC in Egypt. So things aren't fully in their control. So I still have some patient to spare in this. And if things do get back to normal, I think I can predict the future here.
    However, if things do get better than normal, I don't mind polishing shoe for a promotion.

    People who prefer new host not only looks to save money. For me I prefer alternative to big companies and it gives new people to run a business on the way. But that concept doesn't seem to work anymore.

    Chilledhost.co.uk is a biggest scam company. I have taken 1 hosting account from them. My site is down since last couple of weeks. I have submitted several support ticket. But I haven't received neither any reply from their side nor my problem is solved.

    Now I have changed my DNS and hosted with an another hosting company.

    I'll strongly recommend. "Please Avoid chilledchost.co.uk hosting service. They are scammers"

    Angry

    UPDATE :

    since my original post 09/19 :

    - chilledhost tried to find a solution to all my problems but they didn't succeed
    - I was supposed to be contacted by an "account manager" named Saul which was also supposed to look at and solve all my problems
    - I've never been contacted by this guy and my problems have never been solved
    - So I finally asked for a refund as nothing was done correctly to solve the issues

    Now since more than 1 month I have asked for a refund and so far either no answer or answer like "i'll look at this on monday" and off course ZERO refund. And off course i've been sending numerous mails / support request to both the support and a guy named Sam who's apparently taking over the company.

    My chilledhost review : forget it, they "do" like if they could solve the problem or care about you but at the end you'll just end up loosing money and having an absolutely unreliable hosting.

    End of the story, i'm done with these guys.

    this is in fact, the worst hosting experience for me in past 10 years.

    Also, they are still sending me emails about pending invoices, but don't reply to tickets.

    I dare say these might actually be automated tasks run by a cron, rather then them physically sending them to you
