If you wonder what Hosting-Reviews-Exposed.com was and why I mentioned it, it was a site that I created to expose the practices of the so-called hosting review industry. I know it was not perfect. This article has been sitting in HRE’s draft folder for the last nine years and is intended to be the last article. I did not publish it for a few reasons (ADHD-related), but certain circumstances have come up, and I feel I should publish it here.
Now, to be very clear, I don’t hate affiliate programs; I think they are a viable form of advertising and, indeed, can be a better choice than AdSense. The issue at the core of affiliate marketing often stems from a lack of transparency and accountability. When an affiliate promoter does not disclose their financial incentive, it creates a conflict of interest that can mislead the audience. This becomes even more problematic if they haven’t used the product they’re promoting; their recommendations may lack genuine insights and intentionally omit critical drawbacks, giving an overly positive impression without balanced consideration.
One hosting plan is not suitable for all
When most people start a website, they don’t know what they need, not what it should cost. The fake hosting review industry did not help people understand what to look for. They did not recommend hosts like Rackspace, and I am struggling to think of a hosting provider that has been around since then. They recommended cheap hosts that offered high payouts. People who generally don’t understand what they need tend to look for the cheapest solution, and that is not a bad idea. The problem is that the cheap solutions that the fake review sites were promoting were promoted as the ultimate business solution.
There is one person that comes to mind during my hosting career, a belligerent person whose credit card was declined for $12.99 Upon contacting us, you would think he was trying to find out what was wrong… But no, he wanted to haggle. He argued that we should charge slightly more than the cost of a hard drive. There was so much wrong with this reasoning, never mind everything involved between that hard drive and a visitor’s computer. Not to mention the investment involved so that you can watch videos about cats (as it should be). Admittedly I was taken aback by his nonsense, but I told him he could go to Best Buy, get himself a hard drive, and try hooking it up to the internet. Due to his argumentive behavior, I hung up on him. I have never heard back from him, and I am thankful for that. I feel this experience highlights a general misunderstanding of how the Internet works. What is a vast network of equipment and wires managed by various areas of expertise is perceived as some sort of ethereal realm that costs nothing to maintain because… magic!!! Some even think their tax dollars entitled them to free hosting (no).
Most customers were not as bad as him, but the lower the budget, the less experience the customer had, which is smart, fiscally speaking. I watched an 80-year-old grandmother start with one of our smallest plans and later move on to a midrange plan near the end of my career for a site run by her family now. Eventually, I asked her for tips (you are only old when you are no longer interested in learning new things). I also watched a software engineer out of the Philippines build up his site from one of those cheap plans, upgrade it, and eventually leave us for bigger services. I wished him the best. I could go on in length about the failures and the successes. Failure was not always due to arrogance, Nor did success always involve patience. But understanding your hosting needs is essential to that success.
The hosting industry encouraged fake reviews
That seems like a bold claim, but how could companies like Hostgator.com not know what was happening? I certainly would be curious if someone were bringing in over 20 customers a month and perhaps reaching out to get them to take over sales. I am sure they knew, especially in 2009. They wanted to maintain a distance between themselves and these affiliates. But offered them high payouts that led to them being the top hosts of sites that claim to be the best to host with. Hostgator appeared frequently in those rankings: From HRE June 10, 2010. It’s no surprise why, because through Commission Junction, you get a flat $100 fee per sign-up
At Hostgator.com directly
- 1-5 a month, $50 per sign up
- 6-10 a month, $75 per sign up
- 11-20 a month, $100 per sign up
- 21+ a month, $125 per sign up
There is no way that the hosting companies involved did not know what the review sites were doing. That 21+ referrals a month were made for the fake review sites. Which is why Hostgator.com appeared at the top of most review sites. To make their hosting plans more tempting, they call them unlimited. Trust me, there are limits. Eventually, they will throttle your access and find a reason to remove your account if you cut into their profit. Webhosting is a business, and business means profit. Despite what that guy who wanted to haggle thought, a hosting business’s expenses are more than the cost of a hard drive.
You are considered profitable if you remain below a certain metric in your overhead. In an unlimited, cheap, gimmick-based business, they need a massive amount of people to make a significant profit. They maintain the bare minimum and find ways to get more money through add-ons like domains, design services, SEO, etc. Maybe they offer a free domain that makes it harder to leave the moment you get traffic. Support is sent off to whoever will bid the lowest. Never mind if you did not know there was no value in this so-called super-sized plan. But, if you had known what to do, you would not be there—quantity over quality.
I had little experience in budget hosting; I went from free/Geocities (I got a grey hair just from typing that) to a $ 200-a-month Virtualis account (another gray hair). At best, Hosting-Reviews-Exposed.com ran on a Godaddy.com account for a while before moving on to Rackspace because it did not take much traffic to overwhelm that budget plan. It made a profit of $0.50 one month, and that was the last month it did.
Why did I get involved? – My history
I never intended to make hosting a lifelong career; I only intended to make enough money to return to school. But I am a creature of routine, and it takes a lot of effort to break away. But redundant routines with zero downtime had burned me out. I was a little over 2 years away from an exit. I am not going to say it was all bad. I came from central Utah, and the place closest to international culture was Taco Time (no, not Taco Bell), but a place that served tater tots as a side with your taco. The part I loved about web hosting was that I was exposed to the world. Having been on Ritalin most of my childhood, no one thought I would go anywhere, believing I was doomed to stay in the middle of nowhere, Utah. But, after being taken off it when I turned 15, I got a GED, 2 years of college, then a high school diploma, and advanced clerical training before I turned 18, thanks to a program called Job Corps. I wonder what would have happened had I been on Vyvanse from the beginning. But that is a topic for another day.
…oh I got off-topic… anyway… back to why I started the site
I was unaware of the fake hosting review industry during my tenure as a hosting provider. I knew of webhostingstuff.com, and we had what I considered fair reviews despite not all being positive. But one day, they deleted all of our positive reviews. If a customer had not notified me that they had deleted his positive review, Host-Reviews-Exposed.com would not have happened. I would have moved on to web design, never looking back, oblivious to the true nature of these so-called review sites. I did not use any of the hosts listed. Nothing I had hoped to accomplish could be done on a $10 or less plan.
Unlimited – They keep using that word. I do not think it means what customers think it means.
Unfortunately, we bought into selling unlimited plans (as much as I hated the idea). That would be the driving force for me leaving the industry. Unlimited for the low price of $4.99 a month was dishonest sales hype; the terms of service, which no one read, proved it was not unlimited. After leaving and reentering web design, I encountered customers who signed up for these plans, only to give in to a more expensive solution when their new site took forever to load. I went to the review sites, which meant I would never click on those links that would lead to a payout. I would not have asked why results always led to the cheapest solutions. I would have been oblivious to their tactics, not because of a lack of empathy (I have plenty to spare if anyone wants some) but a lack of awareness (sometimes having hyperfocus leads to not seeing the trees for the forest).
But here we are, as Webhostingstuff saw traffic on a result related to a company I owned and took a gamble that they would not face any consequences when they removed every positive review. Anyone searching for us would see we only had negative reviews, compelling them to look for other options and guess what? They were conveniently on a site that showed you who you should pick. There was a banner right there next to our altered site details.
If, for some unlikely reason, you followed me back in the Hosting-Reviews-Exposed.com days, you will know what happened next. If not, I am the guy who launched this video on November 2, 2007, this video:
Many of the sites I covered are gone, notably the first, which set this off.
- Webhostingstuff.com – dead – Domain for sale for $8,888. I tried to offer $100 for WHS, but it was rejected.
- Hostaz.com – dead – Domain Was $50,000 Now $4,911
- Hosting-review.com is still active but does not have a top 10 list on the front. It still pushes EIG hosts in a separate section. But at least they made some attempt at disclosing they make money if you click and buy.
- Best-webhosting-2008.com – Dead
- Topcheaphosts.com – DeadI
I had a choice, and I chose the option that gave me dopamine. So, I made a video on YouTube, and the learning process and the final presentation were venting. I had no idea what else to do after that. I thought of creating another blog just for that, so I bought the domain, but I soon became bogged down with work.
I did not realize that the video had taken on a life of its own until I was out of the hosting business. Some comments wondered why this industry was bad, so I thought I would try my second attempt at blogging, I explored why the hosts on the top 25 did not meet the ‘high’ standards that once upon a time could be found on webhostingstuff.com:
The main engine behind WHSRank™ are the verified customer reviews published on WebHostingStuff.WHSRank™ uses these customer reviews to calculate a quality score for each web host.
When customers write their reviews, they are asked to rate web hosts based on service quality factors like:
- Uptime and service reliability
- Technical support
- Customer service
WHSRank™ uses these quality signals to calculate the quality score for each web host. Other quality signals used by the WHSRank™ algorithm include uptime performance.
The WHSRank did not exist, and money was the only factor in ranking.
Eventually, Michael realized what I was doing and found my IP by the frequency of activity. Michael probably did not want me to explore too deeply because none of those metrics could be proven, so I went to places with free Wi-Fi. Eventually, he blocked the Phoenix area. Then I started to get friends from around the US to help, and they would get blocked. Then, a block was initiated after so many clicks. So, the process was broken up each month, and friends from various parts of the world helped me get the screenshots I needed to break down what I was looking for. WHS would have to be shut off from the world to keep me from discovering how deeply flawed webhostingstuff.com was.
Why would I be blocked if there was nothing to hide?
Well…
- There were dead hosts on the top list, which raised so many questions.
- Many ‘top’ hosts had notable issues: no reviews, low-rated reviews, fake reviews, reviews with domains that showed no history with that host, horrible downtime histories, and start dates that did not match the domain creation date.
- There was a link to contact Webhostingstuff.com for advertising. Despite no clear advertising.
- You get affiliate cookies when visiting.
After I started posting content, comments came in from the clients of those top 25 hosts. Some of the hosts admitted to knowing what Webhostingstuff.com was doing. There were not just a few issues wrong. I feel that I was too sloppy because I had so much information and no idea how to process it with my little free time. But I was obsessed with exposing this fake review site in particular.
After going through every host that made the top 25 list, I found more issues. Like any other ‘top hosting review’ list, it was a list to avoid.
As someone who faces imposter syndrome, I worried when I started the video that I was the only one affected by WHS, but other hosts who had their positive reviews deleted started to contact me. To be clear, I am not bothered by criticism, especially when I am wrong. But praise… please don’t, I will obsess over whether I deserve it (ergo imposter syndrome). It was a massive weight off my chest once I found others affected.
As I reviewed the hosts Webhostingstuff.com considered the top 25, and I found they had fake awards or things that did not qualify as awards on their sites. This led to a rabbit hole of looking at other sites and breaking down the legitimacy of those awards. Sometimes, the hosts owned the award site and, even rarer, a review site that kept them at the top. It was not hard to break down why Webhostingstuff.com was not an honest actor.
Who the hell is Endurance International Group?
When I first started, I had no idea what to look for. I was, and I am still, not an investigator. There are far better people doing the job of investigating, like Coffeezilla. I knew of iPage and was well aware of their affiliate program. I was unsure what to look for while trying to explain how they ended up being recommended by Webhostingstuffl.com. It was the ninth host I was looking at when I was first reviewing WHS’s top 25 list. I thought I would try their chat to see how long it took for someone to respond. I was not expecting to learn that iPage was part of a monopoly of web hosts. – iPage – HRE review
This part of the chat led to me discovering EIG:
Bryan Smith: Could you please provide me with the URL from where you have entered this Chat interface?
Benjamin: your main page
Bryan Smith: May I have the URL of our website through which you have logged into this chat? I need the URL of our website where you have clicked the Chat icon.
That was odd. Shouldn’t they know what host I was talking about? I felt this spoke volumes about the quality of support they offered, and the rep was serving more than one company.
By the time I covered Fatcow.com the connection was clear. Trying to chat again was very similar.
Vanessa Morris: Could you please provide me the exact URL where you have clicked this LiveChat icon in our website?
Benjamin: its on the main page of your site?
Vanessa Morris: I would like to see the link.
Benjamin: you website only has one main page, you should be able to see that
Benjamin: fatcow.com
Vanessa Morris: Thank you!
Benjamin: are you supporting other companies?
Vanessa Morris: May I place you on hold for 4 or 5 minutes, while I check this for you?
Benjamin: ok
Vanessa Morris: No, Benjamin. I need link for confirmation.
That was a blatant lie. She would not need a URL if she only worked for one company. Before I left the hosting industry, I was managing more than one hosting company. And our team never asked who their host was. Which means that was something EIG had cheaped out on support infrastructure.
By this time, I knew more about EIG, so I tried chatting again with Fatcow and confirmed that they worked with more than one host.
Jerold King: Hi Benjamin. My name is Jerold King, how are you today?
Benjamin: Hello Jerold, I am fine how are you?
Benjamin: I can not find any information out about the corbanite service.
Jerold King: I’m great, thank you.
Jerold King: Can you please provide me with the website link where exactly you have clicked the Live Chat icon?
Benjamin: ipower
Jerold King: You can check for the Corbanite service at:
Jerold King: http://www.ipower.com/product/carbonite.bml
Benjamin: thanks
Jerold King: Thank you for chatting with us. Please feel free to contact us at any time. We are available 24×7.
I did this a few other times with various on EIG’s network, and it did not matter what site I was on; I gave them a different host within the EIG network, and suddenly, they were working for another company. They always answered that they did not work for another host. I feel I should have broken it to them how I knew they did.
Many of the hosts in these top 25 lists belong to this company. No host belonging to this company has ever contacted me or responded to my requests for information. Hostgator.com and a few others would respond, but after they were bought, communications ceased.
The end of Hosting-Reviews-Exposed.com
There were various factors, burnout being the main factor. Maybe I would have gone on longer if I had started Vyvanse when it came out. But repetition is not something I am great at when I have no interest—that whole dopamine thing. Not to mention, the domain name locked me into a very specific area. But there were other reasons.
The decline of hosting reviews for profit
The big hosting review sites were losing their search engine relevance. Web directories like Webhostingstuff.com tried to keep a directory of every host, allowing them to dominate search results and funnel people to the people who paid. I don’t imagine it helped that he was blocking large sections of the planet when I started taking a deep dive. Other directories tried to cover anyone who had an affiliate program. But they lost their grip on search engine rankings, making it harder for Hosting Directories to stay afloat.
Anyone can create their own ‘hosting review’ site
As these titans started to fall, others tried to copy, and in some cases, word for word, what the big boys were doing. A big factor that caused the fake hosting review industry’s downfall was it had over-saturated itself. There was no shortage of review sites, and hosting affiliate programs only encouraged the frenzy. They might not have been great at trying to seize control of search engine ranking and advertising. But where they could gain ground, they were taking away from veteran hosting review scams. This was a huge factor in my burnout. Despite the redundancy, I also feared I might add to their relevance as my site’s search engine rankings were much higher than theirs, which led to requests to be ‘exposed’ flooding my inbox.
FTC 2009 – Endorsement Guidelines being followed In 2011
The FTC revised its Endorsement Guidelines in 2009 and went into effect in December of that year, requiring endorsements to be transparent about any material connections between endorsers and marketers. This revision aimed to adapt to the evolving digital landscape, emphasizing the need for honesty and clarity in digital endorsements to prevent deceptive practices. However, Endurance Interactional Group did not decide to ensure their affiliates complied until 2011. July 25, 2011 – Justhost.com was the first host I could find to send out a compliance email. The last I can find was iPage.com – March 29, 2012.
Why so late? Perhaps it was not until then that the owners did the math and figured that the risk they faced publicly outweighed the benefits of a fake review industry. EIG hosts always appeared on these fake hosting review sites I looked at, and there was always more than one EIG host. I saw a few where a review site had nothing but EIG hosts. You can not tell me they did not know, after all these years, who was promoting them. The flood of new review sites opting into their affiliate programs may have raised the alarm. For a company that likes its acquisitions to be the public face, this could lead to more awareness than it would like. Most were unaware that Fatcow and iPage were owned by the same company. So when a person had a bad experience with Fatcow, they moved onto iPage, not knowing they were using the same service. It did not matter they had the same back end. I saw this happen a lot. People were saying how bad one service was only to go to another host in the same network.
They were undoubtedly aware of Hosting-Reviews-Exposed.com and others who had pointed out the hypocrisy of the review sites, and a lot of us talking about the fake hosting reviews were also talking about EIG. The longer they did nothing, the more likely we would reach a larger audience. They were already dominating the market, so they cut ties.
At the same time this was happening, it was not just Endurance International Group Hosts making changes to their affiliate programs. Many hosting companies that ran affiliate programs were starting to bust affiliates who were cookie-stuffing (putting the cooking in before people clicked to buy services, like Alreadyhosting.com. Who knows how long they got away with it, but it might not have been as noticeable until other people realized they could get a quick buck from these hosts. The metrics had been changed to get paid, and you could no longer use them for a hosting discount. Something I had not realized was going on at the time. But, I did encounter people who were only affiliates to get cheaper hosting.
Now, the review sites had to reveal they were getting paid, and I am guessing in some cases, ties were cut with the most prominent review sites to hide their involvement in rapid growth.
At some point, I will have to redo a complete list of the hosts they own because Wikepedia.com lists Hosting-Reviews-Exposed.com as a source for a list of hosts that EIG owns, but they did not list all I had found. It seems to be from my 2010 list.
PWD – Not as insignificant as I thought
I only mention this host because this site contributed to my disinterest. I will not mention it by its full name. But if the owner reads this, it is not a critique of her business but more of my tact in reporting.
I wanted to debate EIG. I had more fun dominating the SEO of Mindshark (a so-called SEO company) and others who had spammed my email account. I had explored Flippa.com’s trusted partnerships with hosts, one of which is dead now (my post got his attention). I loved being ‘exposed” on webhostingtalk.com. Even covering Web.com’s ads (they fudged the numbers) was more interesting and funny when they pulled their ads. I got Brent Oxley, the former owner of Hostgator.com (her hosting provider at the time), to comment on my content. Other big hosts interacted with this site. Digitalfaq was hilarious and fun; he thought I would list him as an honest source (little did he know, I know it was him who emailed me), and when I wrote up a public response, he wrote in response to those posts but did not link back to me, but I indeed link to to him, because I had nothing to hide.
As much fun as those events were, I did not enjoy writing about small hosts like PWD; I debated about skipping hosts like PWD. I admittedly kept the kid gloves on when dealing with some of webhostingstuff.com’s top 25, such as PWD; it managed to be number 4 in April 2011 in Webhostingstuff.com’s top 25, despite having notable downtime periods. Like the other hosts I had reviewed, I looked at the customer reviews. With other hosts, I had found fake reviews, or in some cases, the negative comments were deleted for hosts in the top 25. Which I did catch happening with a few hosts on the top 25 list. The only oddity of note with PWD.com’s reviews was the timing, all in a short period. Maybe the owner asked her clients to do so, which is fair enough; they are customers. There is nothing unethical about that. I noted the status of the websites her customers had shared. One was not even online; he found my post, unhappy that I pointed out his site was not online. Eventually, I gave him feedback on what to do with his site music-related, which was more interesting than covering new hosting and review sites. Sadly, his site is not online. As for PWD, other than noting what Webhostingstuff.com had, I noted a few design issues. Notably, it did not look modern, every page allowed comments, and the TOS was not visible. I certainly did not give it nearly as much scrutiny as I had Burstnet (now absorbed into another company, I think) or Ipage. I thought it should have been considered more of a footnote in the border scheme of things, and I should have mentioned that.
I did not think the post would get any traction. I had considered it a mom-and-pop shop-level host and an oddity on the WHS list. But now, I realize it was a sign that WHS was desperate. Despite thinking it one of the least interesting web hosts I had written about, her clients seemed to have found my blog; again, I think she sent them, which is fair enough, as my site is open to the customers of the companies I write about regardless if they like the company or not. I only prevented comments when there was clear evidence that they were fake (See Manashosting). Unfortunately, it does not seem anyone read my posts or responses. Yeah, I did drone on (as I have for this post), But still, maybe read before attacking. Sometimes, you find more fuel for your argument (which is why I left the comments open) or learn that maybe you will realize you should not chase the monster-looking thing with pitchforks and torches.
Eventually, the owner responded and confirmed that she had done business with WHS advertising. She said they had emailed her, which I had not heard of happening, but again, It seems likely because Michael Low was struggling to stay afloat. Its search engine rankings were tanking. I wonder if he reached out to my former hosting company and others whose positive reviews he had deleted with an ‘opportunity’. This was four years after I made a video and a little over a year of blogging at HRE, breaking down how they made money. She was also the second person to reveal that WHS allowed people to delete their downtime. Perhaps she thought webhostingstuff.com was credible, and at a point in time, I also thought they were credible. Things escalated as they did not read my post. She claimed I was creating drama to increase my ranking and get paid more in advertising. The joke is on her: Hosting-reviews-exposed.com had a higher rating than her site. Never mind, the site has always been a money pit. The biggest benefit I could get from it is using it for testing, but it tends to get updates last. Also, if it was about drama, it was not going to be with a small site like hers; it was going to be with those I wanted to engage. However, I was more interested in trying to effect change than profit, and I am not certain how much of an effect I had.
I would have preferred she read my criticisms to adapt her site and be more careful about whom she does business with. Looking at her site now, I see that comments are no longer on every page. The design is fresher, modern, and streamlined. It also looks like she is primarily a web designer, which I can totally understand, as I do not want to be part of that ulcer machine (web hosting). There are suggestions I can make for her social media outreach, as that is how I bring the vegan bacon home these days. Also, she should post more content to her blog. There is no shortage of topics with recent changes in her field, and I am just wrapping up what I hope will be my last work in web design.
Hosting-Reviews-Exposed.com – aftermath
The last thing I wrote about in 2014 was about a spamming host who is no longer in business now. I had over 40 drafts that never got published, and eventually, it felt too late to publish them. Eventually, I shut off comments due to spammers. I hope to restore the existing comments, but the site will no longer accept new comments.
In 2016, I went from web design to content creation. It all started with a site I bought off Flippa for $35. We started refurbishing it and then incubating it before putting it back on the chopping block. I was experimenting with social media. I ran a $10-a-day Like ad campaign on Facebook. The cost was insanely low: $0.002 or less per like. Never mind, for every paid Like I got, we had 15 organic likes.
It had incubated for a few months, running in the background and hooked up to Adsense. A few pieces of content were published each day. I had not paid attention to its earnings or traffic. But I had become painfully aware that I had spent way more than intended. I was frustrated thinking I had thrown a bunch of money away. But that November morning in 2016, I would do my first spit take… and have to replace my monitor. …it would make what I had planned to sell it for that day. If anything, I had underspent. That day, I shifted out of web design into a content provider, Which, admittedly, is more stable than being a web designer or web hosting provider. Oh, how I hate Flippa with the power of a billion burning suns.
Eventually, we reached $100k in advertising spending, and that is when Facebook gave you someone to talk to. Never mind, the Cambridge Analytica scandal ruined it. As time went on, Facebook advertising has become less viable. I learned the potential of Pinterest years later than I should have. I would say that of Twitter, but I regret spending as much as I did to watch everything fall apart. …and I have said too much.
The Fate of Hosting-Reviews-Exposed.com
I debated shutting the site down, as I still have to maintain it. Everything is on archive.org, though I guess it takes it off search engines. The question is how relevant a 14-year-old blog about hosting review sites is. Many of the companies I covered are either gone or absorbed into another company, like Endurance International Group:
Web.com and Endurance International Group merged in 2021 to form Newfold Digital, a leading web technology company. This merger was facilitated by Clearlake Capital Group and Siris Capital Group, both private equity firms that now jointly own Newfold Digital. – PR Newswire Feb 10, 2021
I might write a more in-depth article about EIG later, exploring those who bought them and web.com, and maybe get Wiki to update their info. But it will be here, not on hosting-reviews-exposed.com. Hosting-reviews-exposed.com’s last post, as far as I am concerned, was earlier this year. I only did that to draw attention to Copytrack, and Hosting-Reviews-Exposed.com has a more significant social media presence. It’s no surprise they stopped using Twitter after responding to them via Twitter.
Closing my chapter with Hosting-Reviews-Exposed.com
When I first wrote this in 2014, I thought it would be a simple article I could finish in a day. However, I spent weeks in my spare time writing down my thoughts before deciding not to publish. After publishing Hosting-Reviews-Exposed.com’s last article, I found this draft, debated publishing it, and put it off again. However, circumstances came up, and I had a reason to finally publish it. While working on this decade-old draft, I wanted to fit as many details as possible, but the site was more complex than I remembered. I am unsure why it felt like I only wrote a handful of articles; it was 217. As I referenced content while reworking this draft, I tried to clean up the content on HRE by fixing the grammar & spelling, replacing dead links with Archive.org links, or noting that they were dead and not recorded by Archive.org. For transparency, I added a disclaimer and link to Archive.org showing the content as it originally was. The grammar and errors bothered me, resulting from my publishing without much review due to having little free time. However, there were too many grammar and spelling errors that bothered me in getting this out in a timely manner. Depending on when you read it, not everything will be cleaned up because, again, I wanted to wrap this post up.
At some point, I will have everything I wrote edited. But after that, Hosting-Reviews-Exposed.com is done. The existing social media accounts (Facebook (maybe, just deleting that) and YouTube) are being rebranded online business-relevant posts (IE—Work Rants). My apologies to the people who subscribe to my YouTube channel, who expect only fake review-related content. Eventually, I will delete my Twitter account. I would have done that sooner, but I wanted to get Copytrack’s attention.
If I ever do cover review sites, it will be here. But, I want to change my focus to content related to my hobbies, such as comics and other collectibles, gardening, and pets. Hopefully I have less reason talk about issues in relation the web development.
If you read that ramble, I hope you have a wonderful day.
