It is about net hygiene. First of all not all clicks on all type of links whatever is posted for various security reasons. Secondly not all web hosting services providing sufficient protection against getting compromised -- so even if we know you have set up that site and we trust you, we cannot be sure if your web site is still intact or compromised. Maybe yes maybe not -= - and that is the principle, does not matter which one. We trust more on a bi= g names that are less likely to taken over control by a hacker... Now the serious side: This bytehost7.com was created on Feb 2011, fairly new. The whois database does not show correct owner information, and I have checked with our ThreatSeeker Network and it shows that the IP address shares with many malicious web sites (over 4k sites I am talking about!), and the IP is blocked! I would delete my account from this hosting service straight away and buy one from a trusted company instead...
