Well, there you have an incidence of supposed or so-called "conservative" writers/sites all hosted together, to the exclusion of others. Even other conservatives.

So, ask why they need to be so cloistered, is my point. Surely something drives, motivates that collection.

Just as, say, other hosting services are renowned for hosting alternate perspective websites.

And, I think that webhost has already been promoted here, so people are already aware of that.

I'm not so sure that is a "conservative" webhost so much as it hosts a fraternity of mutually promoting sites and authors.

Yep, EXACTLY. And the key issue here is who targets what sites and why...

I've been using Ipowerweb for several years now. I have several web sites with them and have never, ever had the slightest problem. They usually offer 3 Gig host, 40 gig/month bandwidth for under $100.00 per year including web domain registration. Enjoy!

I use Network Solutions. These guys pretty much run the Internet (as far as registering domains). They've been nothing but fair, and have never questioned my or my clients' content. And they only charge $9.95 a month for 3 GB of space, 50 GB of transfers and 25 mailboxes.

i use dreamhost myself, but what are you talking about excluding? I have never heard anything like that about them i thought they just had a hands off attitude.

It's just a case of who services accounts and how.

As with all commerce, but the issue here is hosting and how webhosting affects the general informational work or accumulated message/knowledge base of and on the internet.

Yeah, agreed...but in my experience, it does (political disposition of a client does affect a service provider). I agree it shouldn't but...

Then you should have no problem providing examples of said discussions.

I use a service called Campaign Site Builder, run by Chuck Muth, a strong conservative political consultant. The service is targeted toward campaigns, but I have found it works fine for a conservative leaning site that includes several topics. You can scope out my site at www.libertycall.us. Or you can check out information on the service at http://www.campaignsecrets.com/cmd.asp?af=281743. It is also much cheaper that all other services I checked. I strongly recommend it.

I don't have any "problems." I've already identified the issue as a non-specific one for this thread, yet you seem to need problem providers by name. Why not provide a few yourself? It'd make your ongoing questions then relevant.

Thanks for that suggestion and link, will look into it (in a second here!).

By the fact that that provider services political leaning sites and individuals, sorta' proves my point as to there being certain considerations for those areas of content on sites.

Where in the thread did you read that the issue here was about a specific provider? Have YOU had "problems" with a specific provider that is the source of your need to discuss specific providers here? If so, then please discuss. Otherwise, allow others to discuss the issues here without rolling over them with a different theme, or, better yet, start a thread of your own about "problems" with specific providers and name them there.

As for me, I don't care to and think delving into specific providers with individual customer complaints and problems would be nonproductive, unless it's within the context of political content being adversely edited, prevented or refused hosting.

Perhaps you should read your original post :) "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. "

You appear to claim that some providers refuse/edit political content yet you refuse to give a single example. It isn't too much to ask that you support your statements, is it?

Wordpress just deplatformed a popular conservative site, The Comservative Treehouse.
