Look for a VPS or a virtual may do as well that will allow me to send out a lot of link requests without getting mad. Apparantly, one of my current hosts thinks I send out too many. Can anyone recommend one? a lot = > 1,XXX link requests per day (spread across dozens and dozens of sites).
As far as I know, that code doesn't work anymore. ---- I suggest you look at Lycos.co.uk (a completely different company than the Lycos USA, I've been told they are VERY good).
Check the link in my sig below... I've used them for over 5 years now. You can get your own server cheap if you lease one of their older boxes (like I do). Then you can do what ever you want. They also offer some great managed server packages. Good luck!
