Host Question

Not open for further replies.
Has anyone tried a hosting company from Romania that's barely a few weeks into their operations? Nope. You must be the only person (an "advertising specialist" from Philippines, according to Freelancer, who in addition to that have also been promoting other hosting companies on other forums), to have come across it and have gotten enough interest in this brand new business to ask us about it.

Would you like to be honest with us?

First post on this forum: why I can't see the real URL but instead see: <URL snipped>?

Thank you.

Welcome, mdivk!

I can see how this can be a little confusing. The rules of this community prohibit self-promotion or advertising anywhere except the Marketplace section of the forum. So when moderators either feel that a particular post has an unnecessary self-mention (or an advertising plug) or find out with a high degree of certainty that said post was a direct attempt to advertise, moderators would remove an active URL or a company name from a post, defeating the purpose and aligning the post with the forum guidelines. To mark that such edit was made, moderators usually leave a note: <URL snipped> or <company name snipped>.

Over the years, advertising on forums became a lot more complex with a lot of hired freelancers (often referred to as "shills") to pose as fake customers who either ask questions or suggest companies to others. This was a classic attempt at that.

This thread should have theoretically been deleted from public eye, but it was instead left to serve as a signal that we do in fact monitor the forum quite actively.

And on this I am going to close this thread as it will serve little purpose to keep alive.
