Host file Updated

I just started using HOSTS ( using Hostsman for MVPS and hphosts ) and for some reason, sites I regularily use ( like pastebin ) are blocked. Anyone know why? I know how to remove them, I'm just wondering what would possibly cause someone to block a site that has very little impact =\

I found that when I started merging HP Hosts with my usual MVPS. Just about all combination of links to a popular Online Hosting site were blocked.

I'm still undecided whether do unblock as I've done, or just stick with MVPS. It was a case of merging HP Hosts because it was there. Never had a problem really that needed them both.

(tcoffeep ] if you refer to pastebin.ca is a "hell yeah"..i can't connect either..to the others pastebins=ok

just run today this hostmvp and they're great blocking add,banners,parasites. using low resources...

hope this work for firefox and opera too.

MVPS Hosts File

Updated Sep. 02. Interesting to note inclusion of tcr.tynt.com, a text copy reporting site, that's becoming quite popular.

Just noticed this post.

Here are mvps' reasons for inclusion: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/criteria.htm

host-file.net's policy is here: http://hosts-file.net/?s=policy

Most DNS providers that block domains will tell you the categories their sites fall into. DynDNS.com, for example, use third-party barracuda.

Thanks also from me TeeJay.
