This is very good.

The fact of the matter is, many hosting companies have no idea what is on their servers. It’s often not out of maliciousness that this kind of material is on their servers, but the whole process is automated so as long as someone’s credit card goes through properly, no human ever really interacts with the content unless there is a technical support problem.

I’ve notified webhosts about spam sites and malware sites, and more often than not, once the webhost realizes who their customer is, they immediately terminate them. Keep the list coming. Once you find who the webhost is, send an email to their Terms of Service Abuse office if they have one with a link to the offending website.

Also, please post links to the webhosts once you identify them; their postal address won’t really do us any good.

Sample email:

Dear BlueHost,

It has come to my attention that you are hosting [whatever]. This is a terrorist propaganda website that encourages the killing of American soldiers. I believe that this is a violation of your Terms of Service agreement that prohibits illegal content.

Best regards,
