Host Gator Kills Hate Speech Site

I hate idiots as much as the next person, and sometimes these idiots are able to slip by the Web hosts and get Web sites. Now is this the Web host’s fault? No. No matter who the Web host is, they can not do a background check on every person that wants to host a Web site with them.

This recent story, ripped from today’s headlines though is a welcome early holiday gift to those of us who hate these morons out there in the World.

Web hosting provider HostGator has recently been asked by the Tampa-Florida office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations to drop one of the Web sites it hosts that supports calls to kill Muslim children.

Now not to get into politics, because I refuse to cover them on a podcast about Web hosting, this is just wrong and I am happy to see that HostGator has taken these folks down. Here is some more of the story I’d like to share.

Under the headline, “Love Your Kids? Fear For Their Future? Kill All Muslim Kids,” the Web site”s owner, who lives in the Tampa area, wrote, “Makes sense to me. After all, if Muslims are raising their little crumb-snatching, curtain climbing, ankle biting rug rats to strap on bombs in order to kill us, it is logically correct to assume that in order to stop that from happening we need to kill all Muslim kids. Starting now.”

This type of content on the Web should not be stood for. I know some people out there might speak up for free speech in this situation.

Hate speech is not a protected right though. Also, other people have the same right to say this type of content is just wrong.

The moral of the story is that if you see a Web site that might seem a little fishy to you, you should always try to hunt down the Web host and ask if they know they are hosting such content.

Advertising Feedback

This week, you should have more than enough podcasts to play catch up on. So instead of launching something else you need to listen to, I want you to give me some feedback. This time around, I’d like to know if you think I should cut back on the number of supporters per Web Hosting Show episode.

I have tried to make the “supporter time” in each show as small as I can, but if you want I can come up with a new way of doing things. One idea I had was having one supporter per podcast. For an example, at the start of the show I would mention the show was brought to you by Web Hosting Chat and Ping! Zine. Once I hit the bottom of the supporter list, I’ll just start back at the top.

Web Hosting Chat will stay on as a supporter of every episode because they are the one flipping the bill for the bandwidth around here. ;)

So leave me your thoughts, your comments, your ideas on this post and I’ll see how I can make this podcast better for you.
