I know web1000.com does advertising and redirection if you type in a bad URL for any website they host - this is how they make their money so they can host for free.

But have any of you had this happen when going to my website and the URL has been good? Did you actually get to my website and then have it redirect you, or popup (or popunder) an ad on you?

If so, please let me know immediately. Please try to keep track of the exact circumstances and what the URL was that you tried to go to, and where you wound up. If web1000.com is randomly redirecting people every once in a while then I want to know.

At the same time, keep in mind that some websites play nasty tricks and muck with your browser in such a way that it seems like some other website is the culprit. This happens on Lit. periodically, especially if somebody has been also surfing other porn sites.

Rest assured that I have no popups on my site (I HATE them with a passion! Grrr! :mad: ) or other tricks therein - just fairly straightforward web pages. Also, if a website, especially a porn website, or an untrusted website, asks you to download a "viewer" - don't do it! Often those programs are a viral agent, and they are also often dialers that call out on your phone to rack up long distance calls to 900 numbers. If a website does that to me (tries to download a program) I never go back there again - they are crooks and thieves.
 
It takes me to a pornlottery every damn time! Then it tries to down load and the only way out is to disconnect from the net.:mad:

THis is the same exact thing someone else is getting. Thanks for letting me know - I guess I will have to complain to web1000.

Anybody else?
 
Okay, here is the deal:

Anybody trying to access my website from outside the USA (or maybe Canada) will probably be redirected to a porn website. I believe you are somewhere in the UK aren't you Bluespoke? The other person is too I believe.

I had thought this would only apply to traffic say from Japan or India, and forgot about it - but apparently it includes the UK.

I will keep my eyes open for another host - but for now I will put a warning in my sigline to not go to my website if you are outside the USA. :(

It really burns me that they redirect to a website that is so obviously a bunch of scam artists. :mad:

Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. :eek:
 
Okay - my website on web1000.com is going away as we speak. As soon as all the files are deleted I will close the account and search for another host. :mad:
