Need a reliable and secure US hoster

Hey guys

I have a client that wants to move his online news site to the us due to legal reasons. For this purpose I need a reliable and secure hosting service with good customer service.

The site isn’t too big so I don’t need any dedicated server or other stuff. I need around 500MB of space, PHP 5.2 or newer, MySQL 5.0 or newer, multiple email accounts and forwarders and normal ftp access. The site gets around 30.000 hits a month so nothing to extreme.

MailChimp.. Gimma dat review? What do you guys think of it?

? Thinking about using it for my company to run e-mail campaigns and promotions, bunch of good analytical info software, easy to manage subscribers.. I already have a CRM that can do most of this, and bulk send e-mails and run campaigns, but it sucks. $30/extra a month is cheap though, but it’s still extra $ spent.

Anyone use it? Please give me a review? Or tell me why it’s great or bad?

I think they’re definitely the best for being ahead of the curve for advanced features ( first I saw that had multiple types of A/B testing, segmenting by geography, etc. )

Legality of using images from retailers

Just built my first site that is related to affiliate marketing. I’m basically finding products in a niche and posting them on the site. At the moment I am not with any affiliates. Will I get in trouble if I save photos from retailers and post them on my site, with a link to their site to buy it even though I am not affiliated?

I’m Canadian?

I’m not doing any SEO right now and still in the process of developing the site and testing with different products. I want to sign up as an Amazon Affiliate in the next couple of days, but not sure whether to put products on my site, or leave it finished, but blank, and explain to them what I want to do. Once I’m with Amazon, I’m hoping it’ll make it easier to get into CJ.

Free online article spinner

It’s shitty but I guess it has 5 different engines you can pick from (at the top). I only used the first one and it came out sounding like an ESL kid raped a thesaurus, but maybe someone here has some use for it.

so I just found out a domain I recently purchased used to be

A webhosting company in 2005 (which is odd cuz the domain name has nothing to do with webhosting) and then apparently a linkfarm or directory in 2006 (10,000s of links in different "categories") and then nothing from 2007 until I just bought it last month.’

I found this out because Google Webmaster tools told me there was a backlink to my site at some other website that I’d never heard of before, so then I looked it up on the web archive and found entries from 2005 and 2006 (I probably should’ve done this before I bought it).

I’m tired of GoDaddy…

Who do you guys like for web hosting/domain registering/etc.

namecheap unless there’s a $1 godaddy code that works

Domains = all Godaddy. I wish some other company would start knocking them off the grid though, they have too much control..

never use godaddy for hosting, they suck

I still use them for domains, all my domains are there and I am used to them and too lazy to change over lol

and if you want shared hosting, look into hostgator

can you search google by adsense/analytics ID?

If you have Google Analytics on multiple sites, they all have the same account number and just the end of it changes (UA-XXXXXXX-YY or whatever).

Is it possible to look up sites that all have the same account?

Seems like people could spy on you, then. If they find one of your sites and want to see what else you’re working on…

How? I tried searching for it and it didn’t work the way I thought it would.

Google should nix that.

No. They are setting up pages on google and facebook with affiliate links to the products on amazon.
