Questionable hosting?

I tried to submit a site to link-o-rama earlier today. But I got a message that my site was rejected because of "Questionable hosting", without any explanation.
What do you mean? The site is hosted in its own server .. what's the problem?
BTW .. the thread you refer to in the rejection mail is closed. That's why I post here. I guess that this is "Questionable Posting", so you better ban me now.

Your post was very calm and I took it as a stab at levity.

It is nice to have this as a separate thread, because questionable hosting is a reason for a lot of sites being rejected and few understand it. Sometimes it is because the webmaster has chosen to have their sites hosted on a server with a very bad reputation - those are few and far between.

Most of the time it is for the private whois. If a link list owner can't see who really owns the domain name you can count on being rejected. There have been far too many scams over the years run by less than honest webmasters. People always worry that you may be found out if you don't go private on your whois. I don't think that is necessarily true. I have had my adult TLD since 2000, and only went private with it just recently because of my current job. Big mistake and waste of money! I had it turned back public, and don't worry about being discovered because I am not breaking any laws at all. (If they choose to fire me for doing something completely legal on my own time, then they will need to fire everyone else who drives drunk or under the influence of illegal drugs. They break laws, I don't.)

Get a PO box if you must, but, make the information on your whois real, and keep it public.

Awesome response, if you aren't proud enough of something to put your name on it then don't do it!
