    Hello,

    I believe hostprofessor.com has ripped off HostPulse.com. What do you think ?!

    http://www.hostprofessor.com/
    http://www.hostpulse.com

    They have spammed us as well.

    Have a nice one :-)

    Rip off? Really? The sites don't look the same at all, and the content on the first page are about similar things, but they are not the same.

    Yes, I'm having a hard time making a stretch to rip off myself. I just don't see it. Did I miss something?

    The spamcop spam samples page for the mail server (http://spamcop.net/w3m?action=checkb...=202.188.95.14) has some interesting subjects like "Safe and ethical bulk mail...the only way to make money in cyberspace" coming from the same mailserver

    wow

    hmm,

    When i look at hostprofessor.com , I knew this site copied our layout, structure, information and modify it. This is really bad. Do they have some internet ethic, instead of copying others and spamming others ?

    1) HostProfessor.com copy our words.
    These are the words I wrote 1 year ago, they nicely copy it
    "If you are looking for a top-notch Host directory to maximize your company's exposure and create positive brand association in the area of your targeted audience, look no further. Host#######.com is here to help facilitate that growth.

    Cut your marketing cost, pay less and escalate your sales,"

    2) Wow... there are 100 COUNTLESS things they copy us. Even the Meta Tag is the same "Cheap Web Hosting Guide"

    3) Why don't they put their address and tel no contact ?
    I want to contact them


    Look at this page http://www.hostprofessor.com/host/viewstats.asp

    These are all the hardwork I submitted on the web and these guys nicely copy it to their site.

    Who is www.hostprofessor.com ????????????????????

    There is no affliation between us and HostProfessor.com

    We did a lot of quality work to promote our web hosting advertisers. I am not sure if Hostprofessor.com is just a directory taking checks and spamming with no interest of promoting its advertisers.

    WOW... i did a trace, and found out that they even copied our previous website. i belive hostprofessor.com started as a webdesign company at vinaplex.com. wow. everything & even the package design is the same as the one i planned 3 years ago. This is terrible. who is this guy behind it?

    goodness. someone is following our exact footstep. can't this fellow think for himself what needs to do in his life?

    We are already aware of the situation and have worked it out with the owner of the domain. We in no way support spam, just to make that clear, our server filter through spamcop also.
