An amusingly truthful hostname

September 21, 2006

We got email today from a machine called 'server1.ghettowebhosting.net' (IP address 72.29.85.194).

It was advance fee fraud spam. Truth in advertising strikes again!

(I have to wonder about the mindset that makes anyone name their business something like that. Especially when they are apparently a branch of 'Complet-Inet', and say they have multiple data centers with OC-48 connections; this doesn't sound too 'ghetto' to me. Of course, their front page also advertises '99% gaurantee uptime' [sic].)
