There is no loss here. You are wrong about the SEO. It only cares about weight of human content vs bots which are now 51% of all internet traffic.
Go back to your node sick.
Bro don't care enough to reply to every comment & thread
if your target market are chikens you can go deal with chikens then, if it makes you happy having to use google translate to answer questions then go do that and stop trying to convince us about it
You must be drunk.
I prefer a human rep, are you for hire?
What are you talking about? This got fun. Don't ask how, ask why.
Can I host furry porn on this, or is this unholy?
the best outcome is now charityhost will stop complaining and calling us trolls because its good for business, right?
Ask any SEO optimiser whether this boom will haunt you later or not. I have already mentioned in another thread, this boom will hurt you more in the longer term as the negative reviews will be started to given gravity.
Did not even ask my boi
lol
So this had died down and I come back to 23 posts. Who started it back up?. Why no other than Chastity Host.
Next we're gonna hear about winning with tigers blood.

I gave this link to Gemini. Good luck for Seo and AI.
Reviews regarding CharityHost appear mixed, primarily found on the LowEndTalk forum:
Positive Feedback: Some users have reported positive experiences with their service, highlighting reliable servers and fast speeds, especially for nonprofit organizations.
Negative Feedback and Concerns: Some discussions raise concerns about their practices. One user reported their free FTP storage was suspended due to AUP violations related to personal files, which they perceived negatively. Another user mentioned issues with the control panel initially being unavailable. There was also a discussion regarding the company's structure as an LLC despite the "CharityHost" name.
This is probably the most honest and non-bias comment I've heard. Thank you.

I think it’s a serious mistake to casually go through user data without receiving any formal complaints or court orders. This basically means users’ data could be accessed or taken at any time. You shouldn’t deny what happened or try to shift the blame here.
To be specific, your first move should’ve been to preserve the original, unaltered website access logs related to this incident. That’s the only way to prove whether the data was publicly accessible to anyone. If you don’t handle this properly, your actions will keep landing you on the "untrustworthy business" list, no matter how you spin it.
I agree with this. We saw public_html with curl --resolve because it was suspected that huge amounts of video was there, and we typically advise to upgrade or clean up to free up space, however, indeed there was and AUP violation content, specifically prohibited porn. Why choose to host 500GB porn filling the account to the rim on a web hosting that specific has in the TOS and AUP that this type of material is a violation? I wonder about that... Specifically when it was a free account. Free way to break AUP too.
To address what you are saying, yes, we removed autoindex so now curl --resolve will return non-200 simply without autoindex or some directory index file intentionally. So we will not run the scripts on public_html further, they simply wont work. Again, we prohibit porn due to our customers and brand as of then and today. If we cannot see it not being public then it's a different thing.
why did you reset a customer's password so you could login to their VPS and look at their data?
you've been caught snooping twice, so you probably do this regularly and think you won't get caught again
can i snoop on your airport?
Do you like hosting malware? Answer that question first.
gimme 4$/year deal I will let u snoop
Isn't the 'malware' you claim they were hosting was "a trojan"? When in fact they were running https://github.com/trojan-gfw/trojan which is just a proxy to bypass the GFW.
why did you reset a customer's password so you could login to their VPS without their permission?
it you suspected foul play, why was your first instinct to snoop instead of suspending and asking the user?
why is there a pattern of perverted spying with you?
Aha!! You are getting somewhere now. See takes questions. I was asking what was going on with this 'trojan' service. We admit we made an error. We never have repeated that again and learned that step to be wrong (namely to restrict a server from a customer based on red flag abuse and login), regardless of the intention to secure and keep the network safe. The fact it was trojan service a vpn server and client which we did not know was a VPN. We contacted the customer, but did not hear back. We initially cut the network and suspended that server. But we were concerned it was a malware hosting service, but later found it was simply a vpn service.
The customer was honestly upset. We apologized for the grave error and gave some complimentary credits as we apologized. Customer was very respectful and understanding and we appreciate that. We all make mistakes. That set aside, customer keeps scaling with us, and promoting us too. We are not privacy invaders how so many jumped to the criticize about. Understand that. Regardless, our support is extensive because many of our base customers are not very technical, and we did extend to try to ameliorate a 'trojan' service that we thought was a malware service but was not<- that was the mistake and we learned that. We would not and will not that to customer servers. Was a 'heat of the moment' bad decision to make sure it was not malware services. Anyway, again, this customer is promoting us now. This is transparency.
Im not addressing you anymore. This is the last time. Because you are very rude and through insults in 50% of your comments. Additionally, you have been attacking us within 2 minutes of the very first offer we made back over 6 months ago, we had done nothing, you were almost banned for your insults and derision back then it's historical. Be aware, that is the toxicity and yes comes off as trolling. When insults and berating occur, it's blatant disrespect and that comes of toxic and like trolling.
I'm sorry, but you don't seem to be technically fit and you're probably also stupid. the fact that you're destroying your business is really only your own fault.
whenever you're asked a difficult question your instinct is to attack the person asking it instead of answering and this is something that will bite you in the ass in ways you cannot even fathom
