Hosting on Exabtyes Can Affect Your SEO Ranking

Started by yowchuan · 9 months ago

Here’s a reverse IP look-up result for www.meshio.com’s IP address via YouGetSignal.com. The list of websites generated below is not comprehensive, since each new search gives a different number of websites, so I believe that there are easily more than 70 domains hosted o ... Continue reading »

    LOL!!!

    I wonder if Exabytes actually have a Quality Policy that at least stops them from hosting thousands of websites on a single server...

    Then again, they are prone to violate their own policy, so what the heck...

    Hello Yow Chuan,

    We host 200 - 300 accounts per shared hosting server as stated on our products page.

    I don't think hosting on the same server as adults.com.sg and sextoys.sg is the main reason your PR dropped. You may check other domains in the list, some are still PR2-PR3.

    We don't allow adult contents on our shared hosting servers. adults.com.sg and sextoys.sg appear to be "Addon" domains of one of the client's hosting account which we had overlooked. This account will be suspended right away.

    Hi Dave,

    In response to your concern on 88sexyescort.com, the domain is being setup as one of the account by one of our reseller. We have taken the site down.

    People can abuse your server if they subscribe to your service and at the same time creating more domain or sub-domain hosting different sites in same account. This can be totally unfair to other shared users. Also, from the number you have mentioned (200-300), what is the spec of your server?

    sextoys.sg and adults.com.sg belongs to us. I guess you have given us pretty much of a hassle just because you think your pagerank drop because of what's hosted on a server.

    Anyway, I am really disappointed about how exabytes handles the situation. AND it was NOT overlooked by exabytes no matter what they claim here. I have asked them MULTIPLE times with regards to hosting adult sex toys store on their servers and each time, a yes was given. See below email replies from exabytes.

    Hello Winston,

    Q: So, are adult products (sex toys, condoms and lingerie) allowed?
    A: Yes, it is allow.

    Do let us know if you need further assistance.


    If you have any enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact. Thank You.

    Hello Winston,

    Thank you for your email.

    Q) Can you please clarify?

    ANS>> Yes. Kindly note that we allow for the website that sells adult toys, condoms and lingerie. Please be reminded that we do not allow for pornographic materials on your website.

    If you have any enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact. Thank You.

    Oh, if exabytes read this, know that I will not just stop here. I will make sure people know how irresponsible your company is.

    Hi Winston, a thousand apologies if my revelation caused your site to be suspended.

    However, no offence intended, it was clearly shown in Exabytes's Policy the following term:

    * Sites that sell or promote ‘adult’ material, including but not limited to adult toys.


    I have nothing against your nature of business, in fact, I don't mind buying a few of those toys for birthday presents, but I am really pissed when words are not honored.

    I just hope that Exabytes will review their recent lacklustre performance, instead of just giving empty promises.

    Anyway, I am now hosted on another server. And a change will always do you good.

    It is pretty sad when they promise you, but do in another way.

    Lesson learned, you can't satisfy all the people, when you do so, you lose all of them.

    Exabytes as a responsible Malaysia based web hosting company, we only can host and support web sites which are legal and not violating any Malaysia's laws.

    We have being practising No Adult Content Policy since the first day we run our hosting business. However, due to numbers of web sites hosted by us, we might have overlooked sometime. We had just sent a reminder to all our clients that no adult comtents are allowed.

    You may also refer to our annocement here:

    take a look at www.telesensory.com - the last domain is above list, PR7/10. Hosted on the same 210.48.157.107 server.

    It might have been a coincidence that my PR is back to 3 again after barely a month migrating away from Exabytes:
    http://www.meshio.com/2008/04/pagerank-revived/

    Chan, at the time of this writing, the server 210.48.157.107 is experiencing an outage, since the last 30 minutes with the following error messages:

    <font size="+1">Error establishing a database connection</font>

    Like I have said in my previous posting, and my constant emails to your technicians, I really don't mind the server going a bit slow at times or even losing my PageRank. But when my site goes out like that, I am really pissed.

    It makes me wonder if I could do a better job hosting my own website at home with my PC...

    (I've just checked, www.telesensory.com is hosted on 210.48.157.119 and not 210.48.157.107 as you've claimed)

    Last I checked, the sites hosted on 210.48.157.107 are still facing connection timed out. Total downtime should be close to 4 hours by now.

    If it's a scheduled maintenance, it would be polite to alert the clients that are hosted on the said server.

    On Exabytes's announcement page, it was clear that your technician only posted the alert one hour after the server went down, as evident here:

    Immediate Server Maintainance - Bramble [210.48.157.107]
    Posted By: KM Chow - Exabytes On: Wed, 07 May 2008 23:47:04 +0800

    Websites in Bramble not accessible

    Date : 7th May 2008
    Time : 11:00 PM (GMT + 0800)
    Expected ETA : Unavailable


    Maintenance Details :
    The server is currently in accessible and our system engineer is working on it.

    Maintenance Effect:
    Users will encounter difficulties in accessing their webs, databases and email services.

    We will keep this announcement update from time to time with the latest information.


    Thank you.

    As I see it, it's another one of those downtimes which I am all too familiar with when Meshio.com was hosted with Exabytes.

    Just found out another two interesting websites hosted in the same server as telesensory.com.

    http://bob.my - Bob rasa kurang enak sikit... interesting!

    http://www.gayfriendlyaccommodation.com - Not to worry, this is not another adult website. Just friendly, and nothing wrong about it.

    You could take a look at this article to understand more on how Google PR actually works.

    http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2007/06/05/goog...

    Technically, PR got nothing to do with web host. Even in some cases, PR could changed after migrating to other web host, but they are DROPPED instead of INCREASED due to changes in domain, URLs or file structures or DNS after migrating the web site.
