Does anyone know why this is even there?

Including one that I own and when they're in a good mood, they attempt to make shortened URLs as quickly as our servers can handle them, often many thousands per day.

Thankfully, due to the sterling efforts of many of the URL blacklisting services out there, these are purged on the hour, on the day, on the week and on the month automatically, so often don't last that long.

However, if legitimate people start to use the URL shortening services that the spammers provide, it'll hardly be in their interests to remove the spammy redirects.

Even though it's not illegal, it's still not a wise idea to curse at a police officer doing their job.

I guess it's my non confrontational manner, but if a cop was writing me a ticket for being illegally parked, I'd offer a quick apology, say it won't happen again, and just pay the fine. The minute you start questioning the cop's authority is when you land in hot water. IMO if you act like a fool over something you did wrong in the first place, maybe you deserved to be hauled off to jail.

Also, if you ever saw "Parking Wars" on A&E, these are the type of people I'm talking about. Unfortunately, the Philly Traffic Authority can't haul you off to jail.

Continuing on from this, can I just suggest that people do not pay attention to 'Top 10' websites. The majority of these basically place companies with the highest cost per click/monthly revenue in the highest positions, leaving low paying hosting companies down dozens of pages and not getting noticed.

Ask real people (especially the support staff), get involved on hosting forums and take all reviews with a pinch of salt. Don't trust much in the way of second hand research.

I speak from experience running a web hosting company myself.

Not quite true. Quite a lot of Intel chips, including some Pentium 4 even, do include Vanderpool (or VT-x as it's now called). Wikipedia is your friend - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_virtualization#Intel_Virtualization_Technology_for_x86_.28Intel_VT-x.29

There are many alternative virtualisation technologies around that don't require CPU support too, such as Xen (paravirtualisation) and VMWare (full emulation).
