FAKE Review Site that ranks and recommends hosts according to how much they pay!
I posted a rather innocuous albeit less than perfect review of the hosting company that webhostingstuff.com recommened. The review was reported to my hosting company and then deleted. I did a whois search on the site owner and then wrote directly to the owner of webhostingstuff.com asking why my review was deleted and got no response.
Interesting...
After receiving no reply to my inquiry I tried to log back onto the webhostingstuff.com site. Instead of the home page coming up as expected I got a form page that said there was a problem.
"Click here to resolve error String ID: hx6EvSPWWSZn" message.
That problem resolution form page turned out to have an incidious purpose. This "error string" message from webhostingstuff.com is really an automated means for them to identify your IP address so they can permanently BLOCK you.
How did I arrive at that conclusion? Here's how: I tried several proxy servers to try to access the page. I discovered that the only proxies that could access the webhostingstuff.com site were the most recently created proxy servers.
The reason webhostingstuff.com blocks you is likely because you did something they didn't like such as post a negative review of one of their paying customers. They block your IP address as well as all of the proxy servers they have identified.
Only the newest proxies that they haven't yet been identified will slip by their gauntlet and display their site instead of the "Click here to resolve error String ID: hx6EvSPWWSZn" message. If you fill out their form it simply tells them that they have successfully blocked your IP and you'll never hear from them again. You are now on their blacklist.
After much research there is no doubt that webhostingstuff.com is one of, if not the most prominent FAKE hosting review sites on the Internet. They should NOT be trusted!
Any of their "recommended" hosting companies should be suspect since they seem to have no problem paying webhostingstuff.com to lie to the unsuspecting, trusting public.
