List of Web Hosts which are Fences for Spam

[campylobacter]

Looking for a company to host your website? You probably don't want to spend your hard-earned money on fraudulent organizations which set up shop to look like legitimate businesses. In my investigation of the links in comment spam I've been deleting, I've discovered that they're all scammers. (Yeah, big surprise, huh?) Thought I'd share my findings with everyone.

Stay away from these bastards:

NOT LEGIT

• 200 Gigs (bounced my abuse report to abuse@interventures.us)
• 001 Webs (known comment spammer & spam harvester according to Project Honey Pot)
• Hyper PHP deleted the spam accounts I reported to abuse@ifastnet.com, but replaced them with link farms
• My-Place.us deleted the spam accounts I reported to abuse@ifastnet.com, but replaced them with link farms
• Mezoka deleted the spam accounts I reported to abuse@ifastnet.com, but replaced them with link farms

Suspect IP addresses

• 78.137.7.53
• 78.137.7.58
• 78.137.7.88
• 78.137.7.144

LEGIT, but sloppy slow

• Solid Web Host (Black Apple Host) Deleted 21 of the 42 spam accounts 48 hours after I reported; deleted the rest of them after 7 days
