WebHostingBuzz – fighting back against spammers

October 21st, 2009 by MattR

Unfortunately due to our highly visible website, lots of spammers trying to build inbound links frequent these forums. Myself, other staff and customers who are moderators have a daily fight against this and it is very annoying.

As a result, I have decided to implement a new policy. Every piece of spam we get will be read. If the domain is one we can take action against (such as a .com, .net, .org, .us, .co.uk) then we will submit an abuse report to the domain registrar. Registrars can and will suspend domains that are spamvertized in emails and forum posts and hopefully this will start to make an impact on those who choose to spam.

We’ve all put up with spam for well over 10 years. It’s time we fought back.

Verizon takes a Bite Out of Apple

October 19th, 2009 by Tyler

Competitors of Apple should take note of Verizon’s marketing campaign against the iPhone, a hard-hitting commercial that uses the iPhone as a punching bag. This marketing effort does something that no other campaign against Apple does to date: it hits back.

I saw this for the first time last night while I was watching a special on the JFK assassination and thought “This is brilliant!” It sure takes the “cool” out of the iPhone in very blunt terms.

PS: Until the “Droid” is released, the Blackberry is still superior to any iPhone. It has been proven.

WebHostingBuzz On ‘Unlimited’ Web Hosting

October 6th, 2009 by Grant

I haven’t been with WebHostingBuzz for very long, so I have been spending a lot of time familiarising myself with the company under the guidance of Tyler – Marketing Manager. One of our first discussions was about a WebHostingBuzz case study that we’re publishing. The topic? Unlimited Web Hosting.*

As somebody who has worked in the hosting industry in various capacities for several years I had come to accept the ‘unlimited’ plan as a sad but true fact of life. The case study in question was to outline why WebHostingBuzz has not joined the ‘unlimited’ bandwagon.
