68.180.151.74 - Supreme Dolls reported unfairly

[Pageant Director]

68.180.151.74 is the IP for website, Supreme Dolls and I assure you this has been reported unfairly.

Supreme Dolls is a Pageant and Photo Contest that has been running by Sheri Hooper along with Charming Belles, nearly a decade, with 100% Honor - ran by great and exceptional Directors since it's opening. Google her name.

Unfortunately some parents can start a nasty "vendetta time" when their children do not place with a high title that they wanted and it is guessed that is how this IP for Supreme Dolls has been reported negatively. There is nothing to harm anyone at SupremeDolls.com - I and others would like to be able to view their website and banners without having to turn off our Malware Bytes IP protection.

Malware Bytes IP Protection is very important, I do not want to turn it off to view this wonderful website, Supreme Dolls.

Please view the PRAISES from their Winners at SupremeDolls.com as well as CharmingBelles.com website. Both websites are of the Highest Integrity, ran by Sheri Hooper and both websites have LISTED Charities that they tithe 10% of every Event to - they are even listed for contact to show that this is not only a great pageant and photo contest but they actually give funds for charitable works.

Bottom line is they have been reported unfairly.

Please help SupremeDolls.com with the IP of 68.180.151.74

THANK you in ADVANCE

Apologies for taking so long.

I can assure you, it's got nothing to do with this website. The IP is blocked because it houses a plethora of malicious domains;

http://hosts-file.net/?s=68.180.151.74

Sadly, the owner of this IP, has never responded to any of the abuse reports I've sent, so all I can suggest if possible, is to advise the sites owner, that moving to a different host, would be a great idea.

[Pageant Director]

I do not understand? Are you saying it is because Supreme Dolls <SupremeDolls.com> is Hosted through Yahoo Domains is the reason for being labled a malicious IP ?

I am not being difficult - I just do not understand what you are saying.

[MysteryFCM]

It's not the site itself that is being blocked or labelled. It's the IP address that the site is currently hosted on.

Hope that helps

[Pageant Director]

Well that would be Yahoo.com

Wonder why some with Yahoo are being banned with you and others not? This seems personal. Perhaps someone who does not like pageants or the idea of this type of competition.

Shame, a real shame. . . How very disapointing.

[MysteryFCM]

It's got absolutely nothing to do with the Pageants website. The reason the IP address is blocked is purely due to the amount of malicious domains present on it, and the hosting company (Yahoo) being unresponsive to abuse reports and not taking such down.

If issues such as this occured on their other IP's, they would also be blocked.

If the Pageants website was either moved to a different IP on the Yahoo range, or moved to a different hosting company, it wouldn't be blocked. As already mentioned, it's not the website itself that is being targetted for blocking, it simply sadly, has an IP address that contains too many malicious domains.

[Pageant Director]

The domain owner would like to speak with you about this.

Please email Sheri Hooper at: [Removed]

Yahoo Domains are being contacted - Thank You for any further help in removing your ban from Supreme Dolls.

[MysteryFCM]

I've removed the e-mail address from your post to prevent spam bots getting hold of it.

Please instead, have the domains owner contact us via these forums.

[Pageant Director]

Who do you want to speak with Sheri Hooper or Yahoo Domains ?

Unclear - HELP ???

[MysteryFCM]

We'd prefer Yahoo as they're the only ones that can take action against the malicious domains on their network.

[Pageant Director]

Yahoo is claiming this is shared hosting and nothing against Sheri Hooper.

This IP will change, as ALL Yahoo Domains do (Yahoo.com) aka Geogities Domains rotate with Shared Hosting, and basing on the host is silly. This is short sided and tunnel visioned. Eventually this will hit EVERYONE who has a Yahoo Domain.

Not fair!

[MysteryFCM]

That's not actually correct. Whilst it's true that it's shared hosting, the IP for a site does not change unless the sites owner asks the hosting company to change such.

[Pageant Director]

This is what Yahoo is claming after calling their number and speaking to a supervisor.

His name was Brandon.

[MysteryFCM]

Apologies for taking so long.

If you're able to get in touch with someone from Yahoo, could you ask them to contact us so we can resolve this please?

[Pageant Director]

Yahoo rotates everyone who owns a domain with them and their IP approximately every six months. So that IS true. Thank you.

Yahoo Domains -c/o- Yahoo.com has been notified of your banning practices.

[MysteryFCM]

I'm afraid Yahoo have mislead you if that's what they've told you. The attached report for example, shows quite a few sites on the affected IP, that have NEVER had their IP changed, some of which, date back to January, which is more than 6 months ago.

On the plus side however, analysis as of a few moments ago, shows there are now more non-malicious sites than malicious ones, and as such, the IP will be unblocked on the next update.

Yahoo Domains -c/o- Yahoo.com has been notified of your banning practices.

We have been in touch with them for months to disable/remove various malicious domains they seem okay with hosting. We appreciate end users doing this as well; the more complaints they recieve, they might actually do something about it, so innocent sites like yours aren't caught up in the mix.
