GREAT HOSTING FOR NEWBIES! Meant4.com

I'm a complete neophyte when it comes to Drupal, PHP, ALL OF IT!

The people over at www.meant4.com had my hosting, domain and drupal up and running within an hour without any problems. Now, my website is taking shape thanks to them.

Extremely swift customer support and very friendly!

Westhost.com - servers misconfigured - google index errors

Problem:

Misconfigured Westhost servers lead to the google bot assigning your sites content to another URL and a third sites content to your URL. For all the sites I could check, the oldest incorrect google cache is Feb 3, 2006. This may affect all shared hosting acounts on westhost without a dedicated IP. This bug defeats the whole point of using drupal and clean URLS and pathauto.

Request:

Could any drupal users on westhost, check their sites on google and confirm that a search for their sites content returns a different URL and for fun you should see what content google has affiliated with your URL.

If anyone has a particularly funny example of this cross site indexing, please add a comment to

Westhost Response:

Westhost has known about the problem for some time and tells customers to wait or pay more money for a dedicated IP address.

Almost a month ago on the westhost forums a westhost representative posted:
"This is a bug within the VPS software-- specifically the component that manages HTTP requests to accounts with a shared IP address. This bug was only recently discovered as a result of some changes Google has made to the way they index pages. The result is the problem that you have described. And yes-- accounts with dedicated IP addresses are not effected as there is no "middle man" between Google and the web server.

Has anyone here use IPower VPS?

Has anyone here used IPower's virtual private servers? If so, what was your experience?

Ripped off, do I have any recourse?

A while back, I purchased a shared hosting package from a "friend" of a friend. About a week ago, I discovered that my sites had gone off-line, and I've gone through a series of excuses from my own friends (who have working sites hosted by same).

Suffice to say, in this same time, I have lost access not only to my own sites, but had my account deleted from their support system as well.

Australian Drupal Hosting

Just wondering if anyone out there can recommend any good Australian hosting companies who have the capability of running drupal? (And possibly has a few examples too)

thanks
