I've found going the DNS and seeing what is there works pretty well.

true, but I have never maintained a list and am now checking them automatically.. just trying to save some time by starting out with a good list is all. But thinking about it, I am sure it wont take too long to log all the main ones myself if I have to.

You guys have all known me for a long time and i'm not in the game of making enemies but DD - YOU ARE TALKING B**L SH*T!! |angry|


Before you start accusing, MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR FACTS CORRECT FULLY!!

Thanx for enlightening me over some of things that you think you are aware of. Let me enlighten you to a few facts!!

I do not submit my sites to you as you have your NO REVSHARE rule, I respect your rules and as a result I submit to you no more.

Yes I do use rev-share hosting and I have been with them for a long time. Wild Unicorns was always fu*king up and causing me serious problems with getting listed. That is why I told the webmaster of revshare that I was changing host to a paid server. His response to that was that he could offer me Paid hosting on the core servers for a small price. That way he still gets a little from what I make and I don't have to go through the hassle of changing all my domains over.
I decided to go ahead with it and from then I have been Hosted on RevCore7 of revshare hosting and have been there for a long time. And I do PAY FOR THE SERVICES!!

It has 99.8% uptime (much like every other paid host).
Plus I recieve every other feature that all other paid hosts do.
I have the webmaster's office and cell phone number for tech support, full address and the help of his team when I need.
No freehost is going to ofer that!!

ANYONE NAME ME ANY FREEHOST WITH ANY OF THEM FEATURES?

RevCore IS a PAID HOST - But he only offers it to webmasters that have been on the other crappy servers before. The one difference being I pay less for the loyalty I have shown him!

I can get him to substantiate everything I'm saying if anyone likes and if anyone wants to check up on it feel free!

Directly from an e-mail dated last year:
---------------------------------------------------------------
I have changed all 4 of those domains to RevCore-7...however, you won't be able to see anything off the new servers until your pc's cache clears and allows you to get to your domain via the new ip's.

Please let me know if all is well?

Good luck with this new move and I'm sure you'll recieve none of the problems you have done before.

In regard to having invisible links at the bottom of a page for search engines to my own sites I honestly didn't know I couldn't do it.
We all try and get traffic from search engines and link popularity is something we all work for. No surfer is ever going to click on them and besides that from what I saw they caused no harm.

That fact that people have kicked up a fuss about them obviously means it is a no no, for which i'm genuinely sorry to anyone it has offended. I have removed them all and will ensure none of my future sites will contain any.

There is not one person on this board that has ever had a bad experience with me (to my knowledge) and I'm not into fucking people over, there are loads of webmasters out there to substantiate my character. I am a genuinely honest webmaster and have spent alot of time specifically building good relationships with other webmasters and it has taken me a long time to build what I have. Does anyone honestly think I would conciously make dumb ass mistake that could ruin me in this business and burn every bridge I have ever built with other webmasters?

Cleo and any other webmasters that are thinking shitty of me now feel free to substantiate anything I have said. If I've gained any bans from anyone over this then I would also hope that you reconsider.

Thanx in advance |pcwins|

No free hosts and a maximum of three outgoing links.

What part of the above do you not understand?

This is more proof that I am on the RevCore servers and am not bound by the same rules like all the other free hosted sites.

This is how Wild Unicorns was only small one day and grew massive the next. I was given serious freedom to pretty much do what I like.

It isn't a free host!

... and for the latter i'm a dickhead and I'm sorry.
If i didn't give a shit then I would have left them there!

Cut me some slack for christ sake!

hmm

Who controls the 404? You or your host?

Seeing as revshare is such an issue for many webmasters I will use a new paid host for all my future free sites.

I'm sorting it right now.

I have control of it. I just let the boss man know what I want and upload the file. He takes a look that it is not full of shit and activates it fully.

I am tied into only into few of the standard revshare rules due to where my sites are they do not apply as the server is far more powerful and can handle the pressure.

I have called Maestro and sent a link of this thread to him to check it out.

You can get a dedicated server now for $49.

If you can't afford to pay for your own hosting out of what you make each month then you need to find another occupation seeing as flipping burgers pays much more then this.

I'm a vegetarian so I don't have time to review sites from people that make less then you could flipping burgers.

Cleo, Opti, Plateman and Surfn...

Just to chime in here for a minute...yes, Dan started on our main RevShare Hosting program...as all our wm's do. However, Dan has proven himself in our program for almost 2 years now and he has been moved to our RevCore program. He pays for this hosting just like he would pay for ANY other paid hosting...and he gets ALL the benefits of ANY paid host. We still have him serving off our revsharehosting.com nameservers as it's usually easier to just change the ip associated with the domain and point to a RevCore server...and avoid the dns/nameserver change. Not sure what is the deal with your 2-3 link rule and if Dan is in compliance with that...but don't for another minute think that Dan in on a 'free host'.

Surfn...as with ALL our webmasters that use their OWN domains...our webmasters DO, AND ALWAYS HAVE controlled their own 404 pages. Yes, we have a default 404 page setup until such time as that webmaster changes it to his own sponsor codes...so I'm not sure what the arguement is there.


Thansk,

Maestro

So you are saying that if a webmaster submits an incorrect link or a surfer types in an incorrect URL they get the owners 404? This doesn't jive with my experience.

Cleo,

What does the fact that you can get a dedicated server for $49 have to do with anything? What about bandwidth...you don't get SHIT for $49/month. I have webmasters that do 200 sales/week and are still using RevShare Hosting/RevCore servers...it has NOTHING to do with the fact that there are $49 dedicated servers out there. They are still here because I put them on multiple servers if they need it...no setup fees, no server fees...no bandwidth bills. ALL our servers are FULLY loaded, dual processors, 2 GIG of ram...and when there is a problem with ANY hardware...we fix it IMMEDIATELY and our wm's don't get a bill for ANYTHING. We host 1000+ webmasters here on 65+ servers now, and our webmasters are not here because it is there only option...they are here because we provide a quality service under very reasonable terms. In fact...I would say that webmasters that use our program and have UNLIMITED hosting for a consistant 'fixed' % of their revenue are smarter than most. NEVER, EVER, EVER...will you have a RevShare Hosting webmaster lose money since they pay an average of 12%-15% of their revenue for unlimited hosting. Yes, there are those webmasters that are very efficient...and they pay less than that for their hosting if you figure it all out, but there are still many that pay much more. If any webmaster is paying more than 15% of their revenue for hosting...they are missing out by not being with RevShare Hosting. It doesn't matter how big they are, I have 1 webmaster that is on 5 dedicated servers all for himself...and he does over 100mbs total on all those boxes. He would never have been able to achieve this in the same timeframe he has expanded on RevShare Hosting as the setup fees, upfront charges and contract commitments would have killed him.

Yes, RevShare Hosting is not for everyone...but it's a bit narrow minded to not appreciate what we do for our webmasters in the long run.

Maestro

Surfn,

YES, YES....YES. Unless a webmaster is using a sub of on of our 12 'house' domains...they get their 404 traffic 100%, always have, always will. We do have templates for them to use, so you might see the same page here and there...but they are 100% all their own sponsor codes. Yes, we have a default 404 page setup on the domains to start with...but if the webmaster neglects to change it that is not the fault of RevShare Hosting and certainly doesn't imply we are 'stealing' anything from him.

Maestro

Because if you pay for your own hosting then you do not have a host for a partner.

For the record that $49 plan comes with 75 gigs of BW. It is a good starter plan. BW is dirt cheap now. Personally I pay for way more then I find I can use each month since it has gotten so cheap that it is no longer even thought about.

That's why Revshare Hosting is banned on all my traffic pumps.

I do not wish to debate about it.

Have a nice day :D

Cleo,

Not quite sure what this means... "Because if you pay for your own hosting then you do not have a host for a partner".

I'm glad you are efficient enough with your bandwidth that you don't even have to think about it...but that doesn't mean that RevShare Hosting is a bad program. Honestly, most of my more productive webmasters go thru 75gigs of bandwidth before lunch everyday...they would melt down a $49/month server, I'm sure it has older processor technology and next to nothing for ram. Many or our top webmasters are posting 3 x 1.5+mb movies and could never survive on the crap servers that are out there on the budget server plans like that.

Surfn,

WTF is that supposed to mean...I'm not looking for a debate, but what is so wrong with our default 404 page????

OK lets cut to the chase here there is nothing wrong with revshare hosting at all its just the fact that some link sites choose not to list any revshare or freehosted sites :) So but the issue at hand is that webmasters ignore the rules in hopes of not getting caught and this is causing the problem

MrMaryLou,

Love that avitar...nothing wrong with 6 bouncing boobs on your head for sure!!!

Maestro

Look at the end of the day, I have proved I am not on a free host and that I have all the powers of a webmaster on any other host such as webbair, national-net, M3 etc...

I would hope anyone considering banning me for using a freehost will now reconsider.

My sites are of quality in order to get listed at many link sites and to be honest I'm not looking at making any enemies. this thread is turning bitchy and to be honest this is enough. i have proved I'm not lying. I asked for some advice, I got it. I fucked up and i'm sorry for pissing anyone off.

Cleo and anyone else interested I am intending on using a new paid host for all my future sites as I can't be doing with this headache to be honest.

If you want to blacklist me is ok. I would prefer it not being there and hope that you will reconsider, but if not I can accept it.

Is anyone against me submitting to them using another domain on another host?

I have made alot of webmaster friends and I would prefer to keep it that way.

You have been an active member of the board so you know the rules.

You chose to be shady and hide links on your pages. I'm not staying up for the next week looking what other kinds of shady stuff you are doing. Timed redirects, htaccess stuff, timed consoles, lots of ways to cheat. You catch a webmaster doing one of them and I'm suppose to now just forget about it, not.

This isn't Jersey, it isn't illegal only if you get caught.

Cleo, Thank you for the pleasantries, understanding and imput.

Not too sure about the 'Jersey' thing but I'll leave you with that one as you seem to love demeaning webmasters so much.

Please do not speak to me again and I will offer you the respect of the same.

Thanx |goodnight

I hope you are not lumping me in with any people that are immediately crucifying Dan!

Your default 404 pages are one reason I dont want to take revsharehosting sites.... but the main reason is that too many unknown webmasters use your style of hosting to try and push the LL rules limits.. (I would like to take them though.. of all the freehosting setups your looks like one of the best ideas to me)

Dan: I agree with you that what you are doing isnt freehosting.. but you should know very well that MANY linksites dont want to take revshare hosted sites... Cleo says she has given you special treatment,... I have done the same and I bet a few other LLs have too... you work hard, make reasonable sites and are well known enough that everyone would think you KNOW the score and therefore can be trusted. You have even been allowed to push the limits with rules for a long time... and you do push the limits that I allow normally. I personally see no reason for people to ban you or remove sites... but I have to say I am surprised you havent made sure the people you have linktrades with known the situation.. the main reason no one has noticed this in so long must simply be that everyone trusts you and doesnt check your sites like that.. people may be feeling a bit duped in some cases.
