Thanks Nate. Sorry I missed your comment when you first posted. Looks like Frank just confirmed the new price and I agree it’s more reasonable.

Thanks for the update Frank. Is there a way to get a one time trial to see what the new reports are like?

The new pricing looks good and definitely makes the service more valuable.

I came across your post and it looks like they just re-packaged the software its 12 bucks a report… much more reasonable then the steep price they had

Really interesting tool.

Chris it does look interesting. I think it still needs some work before it’s worth buying the reports, (see my update to the post) but it might depend on who you are. The report is clear though it could provide more specific information in some areas.

Forrest it is possibly, but it’s not likely and I agree it’s nothing to be overly concerned about. It has happened before where a host was spamming and every site on the host suffered because of it. A dedicated server is worthwhile, but for most sites it’s unnecessary and like you say the millions of shared hosting sites needn’t be alarmed.

reash thanks for visiting. I’m glad you think the tool interesting. Have you run a free report yet?

Sounds like a great tool for me.

From the sample audit:

“Search engines will occasionally penalize web sites based on the behavior of the other sites hosted on the same IP. If your web site is hosted on the same address as several spam websites, their reputation can hurt your ranking. Because of this, we recommend that you use dedicated IP addresses for your sites.”

It’s an interesting point, but I don’t think it’s really something to be alarmed over. Not that many hosting companies would do much to prevent this situation, but I don’t think this is really something that would hurt the tens of millions of people with shared hosting in the real world…?

Looks like a great product. A major question for many might be whether or not a check is worth $50. I have seen this kind of software that cost $150 per month and required a contract. It might be worth 50 bucks for a checkup from time to time – even for small sites. I like the clarity of the report – lay man’s terms.
