block some IPs which have attempted to submit fraudulent orders in the past

We are starting to be offtopic, so just as a note: Since most people use nonstatic IPs of dialup odr DSL providers, that wont do you any good. You should check for those before blocking anything, you would just catch people doing you no harm. The offender will have a different IP the next time anyway.

Apart from that it might have been a DNS propagation issue, if your servers moved for example. If uptime is very important to you, you might want to use a checking-service that is far away from your servers. Other side of the world preferred. So every problem on the way will be reported.

You're right this is a bit off topic, but we don't ban dial-up IPs; just static IPs from known fraud attempters (there is a way to tell).

And we do have monitoring from different parts of the world (and globe--far east, europe, north america). This does make a difference. We haven't had any DNS changes which would impact either. I guess we will have to see...thanks for the reply.

So, I assume I am still in the que?

It was rejected for not offering unique service - being only a reseller.

Actually we are not a reseller; we own multiple servers...we offer multiple domain hosting to others.

What do we have to offer to be unique in terms of hosting? Looking through the current catagory there is only a handful of reseller hosting companies. We also have on our site about a dozen articles about hosting which have requested by other sites to be reprinted on-line (which have).

You have one selection in this catagory which is nothing but a referral link to a pay per click search engine "Expert Business Services"?

"Ebuyme" is a big ad for Matthew Lesko greeting you.

"Eremote" doesn't even have a site anymore--just a directory listing.

"Etecc" has two listings--not too unique there.

"Elkins Communication Technologies" does electrical work or phone setup--not even related to hosting or site design.

"Emerald Surf Internet" states that they are no longer accepting customers anymore.

And five other listings could not reach their sites over the last 14 hours.

I don't mean to come across as angry but it really seems that there is something going on here in that this category isn't working right. Maybe the editor has a personal interest somewhere or doesn't have enough time but our site has more unique content that a lot here (ojectively or subjectively).

I'll ask about http://www.e3servers.com/ in the internal forum.

As far as your other observations , if you post them to a thread here, we'll take a look.

Hello:

I was wondering if anyone had any information about my site in the internal forum.

Thank you for your time.

It looks like the discussion has just about wrapped up. I've brought your post to the attention of one of the editors who was discussing it, so we should know more soon.

Sorry for the delay on this. Our discussions sometimes take a while (we call it "ODP time" ).

There was definitely some editor confusion about this site, but it seems that it was mistakenly deleted. It's now listed in Computers/Internet/Web_Design_and_Development/Hosting/E , should appear in future RDFs, and should be on the public side soon, if not already.

Thanks for your patience with this, and sorry if this has been a frustrating process.

Great! I appreciate all the time all the editors have put in and I am glad everything worked out okay. I personally appreciate it.

Thanks.
