For conservatives, many of the issues important to us are often maligned by liberals. For some of us conservatives who maintain websites, and attempt to discuss and/or explore issues on our sites, some webhosting services disapprove of the issues and discussions and sometimes go so far as to malign conservative customers and their sites accordingly, even refusing service when key issues are being discussed on those sites which are otherwise well maintained, family oriented -- and what by that ensues is the suppression of conservative issues by liberals on the internet.
As conservatives, what are your experiences with webhosts? And, what are your suggestions as to webhosting services for conservative websites? You can't discuss issues on the internet without a website to do so and for those of us who enjoy maintaining our own sites, webhosting is a big issue until and unless we locate a very good webhost who is also a conservative (or otherwise a tolerant liberal...). ~;-D
In my experience, most webhosting services and much of the internet is populated by liberal-to-extremely-leftwing individuals and their webhosting and service enterprises, and finding webhosting and other website services for conservative websites and issues discussions is a challenge.
Thus: your ideas, experiences, suggestions?
Stay away from TRIPOD at any price.
Oh gawd....Angelfire...oh gawd...
What webhosts have you had trouble with?
I haven't found that to be the case at all. Actually the Internet is a great gift for democracy, where many diverse ideas can be opined and debated at length. You just have to choose your websites, thats all. In no way is it dominated by views from the left nor right nor horizontal nor vertical nor 45 degree angle nor ..... nuff said.
Paypal = money transfer/credit card processing service.
Google = Search engine/bunch of other things
AOL = ISP/content provider.
NONE of the above are webhosts which is they question at hand.
The political disposition of clientele shouldn't matter to a professional service provider. A business where such parameters would factor should be avoided, IMHO. Unless of course the price is just right. :-)
As good as Google is, and it is very good, I have stopped using it for all but the most complex searches. I refuse to put more money in the pockets of the two left wing billionaires who run it. The same two who refused to acknowledge 9/11 on their web site.
[1] Co-location isn't the same as webhosting, and in fact, are two separate divisions within Verio. But I figure the professionalism and courtesy I've experienced in the one would probably apply to the other as well.
He was asking about web hosts.
None of those are web hosting companies, although AOL may provide 'personal' web pages. Not sure, but they're not a web hosting company, which is the topic of this thread.
All I can say - I have 20+ web sites hosted with:
http://www.forwardweb.com
for several years now - only rare problems, but ForwardWeb jumps on them and fixes everything quickly.
Not mine !
Well google just left my machine.
Microsoft is liberal and so is Apple. Are you going to stop using one/both of them?
Why stay away from Tripod? I've had it for years now. Can you give me a consevative alternative?

Tripod doesn't support a lot of the more current/dynamic methods used to generate webpages.
Good question. Maybe we should just boycott Newsmax, Fox Websites, Rush Limbaugh...heck...LET'S JUST GIVE THE LIBS TOTAL CONTROL OF THE INTERNET
Dude, your second sentence is 77 words long. Stop and take a breath once in a while.
