Smutserver blacklisted

[The Hun]

Since there are quite a few people hosted on smutserver I'll post this here: smutserver is blacklisted, I'm removing all links to their servers. It seems the new owners don't understand the word ethics when it comes to how to treat a surfer. I got caught on their Dutch 404, I had to reboot my machine to get rid of the consoles. It was terrible.

Now, of course, they can do what they want, but so can I, and I can't link to a host that links to a 404 like that.

Also, this is the reason I don't have a list of recomendations for hosts. I always considered smutserver to be trustworthy, Wayne has been excelent in comminicating things, I hope the new owners will eventually revert back to how things were, but 'till that day has come I can no longer link to 'em

[Keev]

Lets just hope the new owners won't run it into the ground.

[jasonir]

I predict the prompt end of smutserver.

[DarkJedi]

why would anyone use freehosts nowadays ?

when payhosting is dirt-cheap.

[- Jesus Christ -]

Sucks, but it might effect them enough to compromise.

true. But not everybody is a baller. I got a female friend that just runs her site for fun and does not want to be huge in the biz. She has like 30 memebrs and thats all she really wants. So when she does promote (which is rare) she uses a freehost. No need to pay for it if you can get it for free and it does what you want it to do.

Affiliates who can push decent traffic we offer free hosting to our affiliates!

it's indeed crazy404

im surprised people still use free servers. you can even get some sponsors to host you for free now a days.

[Nas7782]

That sux. Time to spend 50 bux on that virtual host I always wanted.

[Trax]

good decision
waiting for the day that all freehosts are blacklisted

[body]

redirecting sucks

[Toni]

I realy wonder that people still use free hosts

Put a clean 404 on your paid server, name your galleries mydomain.com/gallery12.html (or something similar) and you will already be part way to recovering your costs.

I'm glad you blacklisted them. I had a shitload of galleries hosted on Smutserver's WWW24 server and one day awoke to find all my pages gone and all traffic being redirected. Turns out they wiped that entire server clean and deleted everyones account.

Fuck Smutserver

[Part-timer]

Same thing happen to me in www24 server a while ago. All my galleries was gone. I guess Kinghost is only decent freehost left anymore.

Yup !!!

SEE SIG !!

[reynold]

I've always wondered why people think they can make money from popping up literally hundreds of screens

[The Hun]

I'm not at all against free hosting. I don't see why people here complain about it. You don't HAVE to use it... it's a good way for people to get started. Hosting might be cheap, but if you have no idea what you're getting yourself in to it is a good way to get to know the tricks. And if a host wants to do your hosting in exchange for advertising space on your page I don't see the problem at all?

Also, someone here said: "why use free hosting, there are sponsors that want to do your hosting for you"... ehm... isn't that free hosting as well? It's the same idea at least. The host can do promotion on your site and in return you don't have to pay the bandwidth bill...

Smutserver used to be very good when it was with the previous owner. No tricks, no surprised, except indeed for a server that crashed and whiped so the 404 came up... at least that 404 was clean and honest...

[LasseKongos]

If you call that a popup hell you have never seen a real popuphell..

Mmmm, I think it's a question of trust . You can NEVER be sure that a free host wont start playing games .
Free hosting provided by sponsors is more secure , as they have little to gain and much to lose by fooling around .

You can NEVER be sure that any other submitter won't start playing games either... In fact, with guys Smutserver and Kinghost for instance at least I could be sure the domains weren't linking one in onethousand people to a dialer...

Right ! From your point of view , you have to watch both the hosts and the submitters . From mine , I only have to worry about the host (and once , the idiot sponsor) .

[Part-timer]

This is why i needed to start using freehost again in THehun.com submissions. This mail i got after one of my accepted gallery:
"Hi You have your whois info registered by Proxy.We nolonger accept this,
because of all the cheating on thehun, we want to see who we're dealing with,
sorry."
But one thing i still wondering, how you can see who with you dealing when someone using freehost?

[VeriSexy]

Ouch! Sucks for people using Smutserver

[wdsguy]

time for those people to get a real host

[http]

I am surprised, with the shitload of galleries floating around they should be easily able to make a decent buck without redirects. From the Hun's traffic anyway. I'd gladly host all those smutserver/Hun galleries for a top banner tehe

Easier said than done, you have to take into consideration b/w and the fact that not all of his surfers will want what you offer them.

Also, someone here said: "why use free hosting, there are sponsors that want to do your hosting for you"... ehm... isn't that free hosting as well? It's the same idea at least. The host can do promotion on your site and in return you don't have to pay the bandwidth bill...

Not the same thing.
Freehosts take your advertising and send it to sponsors you
1. didn't approve of, and
2. don't get credit for

Sponsor hosting is the exact opposite. You know who is being promoted (the sponsor) and all the ads have your affiliate code in them.
The *only* similarity is that you're not paying the bandwidth bill.

They may burn through 1 gbps, 30 server each with 30 mbps or whatever. Maybe it's 5 times that. It surely won't be done with a few rackshack servers, that I know. And I sure wouldn't start a free host right now.

But redirecting Hun traffic for europeans seems not very smart to me. Europeans DO have CC, and everyone know the Hun doesn't really like this. Plus they should have turned a profit on that traffic anyway.

It's all picture galleries right? Easy....

On a free host you can not play stunts with redirects in .htaccess files and router tricks. Like mijoon said (you were right Mijoon ;-), I have to look at things from two sides: submitter and host, when a free host is used that I know I don't have to worry about the hard-to-detect tricks. Worst they can do is add hahahahahahahahahaha, and that's a real no-brainer for the robot...

And at the same time you're limited in the sponsors you can use... It doesn't make much difference, both offer hosting in exchange for advertising. You don't get a share from the header and footer with a free host, but at least you have a free choice of sponsors you can use... but like I said, it's the same thing, hosting in exchange for advertising...

never have trusted a freehost - they start out honest but usually not for long

Smutserver and guys like Kinghost have been around for ages... I remember Porncity, which was great while it lasted, erosworld, could of others. Kinghost and smutserver were the only ones from the old days that were still pretty big today. I'm talking with the new owners of Smutserver right now, I hope we can work something out...
